10. Hey BP!
Why do I give a fuck that you have spent nearly a tenth of this years bonus fund? I mean damn, the profits for the last month are really down with such wanton spending.

19. Slightly off topic,
but did the 300-400 people, that were hired to clean the beach at yesterday's presidential visit, return today?

21. They show up only if there is a presidential helicopter:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704254004575274433337222768.html

An unusually high number of crews arrived in yellow school buses Friday morning, worked feverishly to tidy up the beaches prior to the president's arrival, and then quickly left after he flew past, angering some locals.

"Right when the helicopters got out of view, they took their work clothes off and threw them in the trash," said Bill Hadaway, an electrical contractor.

23. Yeah, Anderson Cooper pointed this out on his show last night.
I was wondering if the workers returned today. According to Cooper, when asked, the workers told the media that they weren't allowed to reveal who hired them. :eyes: I didn't think they'd show again today, but I'm surprised BP would be so damned transparant. :grr: My bad. I shouldn't be surprised. What fucking assholes - BP, that is.
