BP proudly announces they are keeping oil out of the Gulf. ..................mmmmmmmmmmm................wait. ........you increase by 20%, then take 20% out..........that means you did nothing to decrease the flow of oil into the Gulf. However you damn sure can make it look and sound like you did something good.....
BP is doing hella good work out there in the Gulf.

They get the prize for double-talk.... Oh, or is it zero-sum? They have been having a difficult time all along with the math. And I am so freaking happy they are able to collect some of the oil so that they can keep their shareholders happy! Yeah, hella good work!The only organization I listen to about this is NOAA.
