Quote of the Day

“The human body is a very big organism. The amount of volume of lead we are putting into it with this bullet is tiny in relation to the total volume.”

Ocean?

Dispersants are just like shampoo.
.
A little dab’ll do ya.

BP is a very big company.

.
The total cost of the clean up is tiny in relation to the total volume of revenue.

I remember a commercial up here last year trying to tell people to stop throwing oil from home-done oil changes into the gutter with a line saying, IIRC, “1 liter of oil can ruin 10,000 liters of water”.
.
Mr Hayward, how many liters of water have you destroyed? If you were to draw a sphere around your sunk platform where the total volume of water contained in it is equivalent to the number of liters you’ve ruined, how big is that sphere? How many States could fit comfortably in that area? How many states are already in that sphere? I’m betting the number isn’t 0 to either of those last two questions.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Other things to consider…

“On the bright side, you’ll be able to be able to get oil for your car’s engine by squeezing it from a couple pounds of delicious jumbo shrimp.”

“On the bright side, the Gulf water isn’t the same, boring, brilliant shade of blue.”

That’s funny. The quote reminded me of the movie The Rainmaker:

On seven prior occasions we have denied your claim in writing. We now deny it for the eighth and final time. You must be stupid, stupid, stupid.
.
Sincerely,
Everett Lufkin,
vice-president of claims.

I am sure the BP quote will go over about as well in front of a jury.

-Tony Hayward, CEO of Brawndo Petroleum. [Fixed.]

Wow. Just. Wow.
.
So what do you think the dinosaurs (and other critters, too) said when they saw the Chicxulub impactor strike some 65 million years ago?
.
“Hell, it’s only a thousandth the size of the Earth!”
.
Okaaaaaaay….

“The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume, so get a life, already!”
.
There. I fixed the quote.

He should be the CEO of Palin, Inc.

No, a little doob’ll da ya…

John McCain:
.
“The fundamentals of our oil spill recovery infrastructure are strong.”

Where’s sacred?
.
This is more fun that 1,000 words…

And what does pourmecoffee have to say about this?

Now this looks like a job for predator drones.

“A BP-led consortium on Tuesday won a deal to develop Iraq’s largest oilfield – the only successful foreign bid in a historic televised auction.”

I miss some of the old Swampcrowd, like pourmecoffe. I wish he’d pay us a visit now and then.

“The solution to pollution is dilution.” Some things never change.

“The amount of radon in your home is tiny compared to the volume of your house, Tony Hayward.”
.
“The amount of venom from that Copperhead is tiny compared to the volume of your body, Tony Hayward.”
.
“The amount of spit is tiny compared to your burger, Tony Hayward…eat up!”
.
“The amount of p!ss is tiny compared to your beer, Tony Hayward…drink up!”

Mr. Hayward, I’m sorry, but the amount of dispursants you are putting into that very big ocean is huge in relation to the corral reefs and other ecology it is going to ruin.

BTW, how dumb does this guy think the American people are? I know he thinks Congress is stupid, and for the most if they are not idiots they are corrupt and will deny the existance of their brains for a sum of money. But the rest of us are not stupid nor do we get anything from acting that way.

Wow…

Is it possible that this quote is out of context? Because that is an incredibly dumb thing to say.

pourmecoffee has an article in Gawker.

I’ve heard a rumor lately that John McCain is going to ban offshore drilling in Arizona…

Dumbest. Comment. Ever.

They should airdrop this mo-fo into a Louisiana fishing port and let the locals have a go.

Pay every person from fisherman to consumer as much money as they donate to campaigns and we’ll be stupid, too.
.
Just give us those tens of thousand of dollars and we’ll stop complaining.

BTW: How does a career Navy man end up in Arizona: the driest state in America and landlocked?

Maybe he’s just a little late, patrick.
.
About 260 million years ago, there used to be a sea there…

“About 260 million years ago, there used to be a sea there…”
.
That’s right.
.
And McCain was in High School 260 million years ago.

Damn! How could I have missed it!
.
Don’t you think they should fund a dig there to find his brain?
.
I’m sure it’s entombed in that reefal limestone somewhere below the latest Permian nearshore sandstones.
.
I’ll have to check my geological maps to see where they crop out at…

Sorry, 53_3, I forgot.
.
We know to ignore all scientific facts about archeology, biology, chemistry and physics since a literal reading of the bible tells us that the world is only 5,000 years old and the fossils were put there by Satan.
.
Of course the Messiah, Ronald Reagan (not that JC guy who told us to be generous – no God loving Republican likes him anymore) told us to ignore modern Economics and the science of climate change.
.
Maybe we should repent for our blasphemy and just vote for whoever big business tells us to vote for and stop all of this crazy liberal stuff known as “thinking”.

You mean that the Gop, er, I mean, God, is going to toast my heart on a stick?
.
I know earljr1 would probably like to, but he’s not God.
.
Yet…

Tony Hayward is a very big @$$#0£€. The amount of oil and dispersant we could put into him should be much larger.

McCain’s answer to the oil gusher: “Just build a dang wall.”

“McCain’s answer to the oil gusher: “Just build a dang wall.”"
.
Yeah, walls always work so well like The Great Wall of China kept the entire world out of China so that they were never invaded by anybody and never colonized by places like Portugal, England or Japan and, just think of how well East Germany is doing maintaining communism with their Berlin Wall. With a wall, East Germany will always be communist…
.
Wait…. I think there are a couple of historical errors there.
.
Never mind. It’s a conservative idea and no more of that liberal “thinking” stuff.

Dear Mr. Hayward,
.
I am sorry that my septic system is leaking.
.
But, if you think of the volume of my sewage compared to the volume of the water in the water table around your well, most of your family may survive from the e coli bacteria poisoning.

“The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume.”

-Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, during an interview with the Guardian
.
Tony…you’re a douche bag. The Gulf of Mexico isn’t an ocean. Saying something that stupid makes me wonder how you got to be CEO of anything bigger than your dad’s grocery store. How’s that leaky-oily thingy working out for ya’?

Mr. Howard:
.
We are very sorry to have heard that you have been bitten by an Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). We’ve noted that you have only been injected with 30 mcg of the toxin.
.
Under normal circumstances, we would have taken great pains to fly you by helicopter immediately to the nearest trauma center, accompanied by a fully trained EMT crew to ensure your survival.
.
However, since 30 mcg is such a tiny, tiny fraction of your total weight, we regret to inform you that we do not feel that you have any need for immediate medical attention.
.
We appreciate your patronage
