God I just watched an interview with an idiot member of Congress who is calling on BP to eliminate their dividend. Great idea there, the stock has already dropped by half, lets kill the dividend so everyone will sell off their stock and bankrupt the company.

I agree, but only because they are going to owe a lot of people a lot of money, as far as bankrupting the company, as usual the top officers and CEO will just bravely jump out of the burning plane and deploy their golden parachutes and magically land in a bed of roses and the employees will pay the price in the end. I'm really getting tired of that crap. I do think the money they are spending to try to save their image should be going to other things at this point.

What I have heard is their cash flow situation is fine. If they can afford to pay the clean up, run their dumb commercials and pay the dividend then so be it.
I think I would start in with a commerical that tells it like it is. "You don't have to believe we care about the environment, you don't have to think we care about the people who's lives are being ruined buy this. What what you can believe, and take to the bank is we care about the bottom line. Every gallon of oil spilled, every fish that dies, every job lost will hurt our bottom line and that there is no doubt we care about that. We will plug the leak and clean up the spill as soon as possible".

My comment had nothing to do with your content but rather you style. You use all lower case letters and no spacing between you periods and the beginning of the next sentence. Makes everything run together. Nothing personal .... I was just picking on you!

I do believe that BP as we know it now will probably go bankrupt.

Sorta, they're sucking up a buncha oil. But they're not able to suck up all the oil. Think of it like a top hat with a hose on it, and vents. They're slowly trying to close those vents (but they have to do it very slowly because if they just close them the whole pipe will freeze up and blow) while they're pumping anti freezing agents into the pipe. To put in a nutshell it is a bandaid on a leg amputation...

Isn't just one vent closed so far? I think the doofus on TV said that the vents would be all closed by yesterday. Guess he isn't consulting with his engineers before he goes on TV.

Ha ... no problem. I was just picking. You should try reading one of my mother's emails. I guess she will never figure out how to work spell check.
