I am enjoying Key's repeated use of the 'royal we' to embiggen himself.

Mike you are right on.J

BP name is not to strong in the US right now. Almost 3 months and nothing has been solved at all. Guess work. what ever happened to the flake Tony Hayward he disappeared like a mouse into a little hole and has not been seen again.J

Oh yeah the witch hunters would love that wouldn't they... no as a matter of fact he's on holiday at his villa in Spain --->

He also failed a test of oil industry knowledge by not answering the question in my last post. He probably thought the term company man applied to him being a shill for BP when it has nothing to do with him at all. Oh well.

Then there's this bit of reportage about the BP/Government Police State. Strange bedfellows, spinning merrily along.

These kinds of incidents have been out there, sporadically noted, so it's good to see them finally getting some real coverage.

And I take 0 comfort in knowing that after British Petroleum "bought" up searches for "oil spill" to redirect to their company web site ~ That our own government has now taken over that site (latest update here).

Creepy doings in the Land of the Free, huh?

There was a Local movie store -Screen Play- we joined after that which was VERY customer oriented and he got dozens (if not 100s) of customers from BB. One feature he offered was you could call in and hold a movie for 1 hour... saved you wasted trips and gas. He also had waiting lists for new releases... get your name on the list and they'd call you when your name was up- you had 3-4 hours to pick it up. Nice guy too !... Also once a month they sold ticket books- $1.50 a ticket.. 1 ticket got you 2 nights rental... man $1.50 was cheap for the longest - when BB was charging $3.50-$4 + late fees. ScreenPlay's late fee was 99¢ a night ! I could handle that ! Also if you rented 3 movies or more, they gave you a free bag of popcorn !

We were members for > 10 years- I was very happy there until they closed last October... Red Box and Netflix finally killed them too.

And then says this


But km will claim he does not judge - pitiful.

British Petroleum?
