Tony Hayward is a Piece of Shit.
Don’t fight the power, just shoot the motherfucker…
Via Weather Underground:
Satellite imagery today from NASA’s MODIS instrument confirms that a substantial tongue of oil has moved southeast from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and entered the Gulf of Mexico’s Loop Current. The Loop Current is an ocean current that transports warm Caribbean water through the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico. The current flows northward into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops southeastward just south of the Florida Keys (where it is called the Florida Current), and then along the west side of the western Bahamas. Here, the waters of the Loop Current flow northward along the U.S. coast and become the Gulf Stream. Once oil gets into the Loop Current, the 1 – 2 mph speed of the current should allow the oil to travel the 500 miles to the Florida Keys in 10 – 20 days. Portions of the Loop Current flow at speed up to 4 mph, so the transport could be just 4 – 5 days. It now appears likely that the first Florida beaches to see oil from the spill will be in the Lower Florida Keys, not in the Panhandle.
Here’s a picture, copied from the article:
And here’s oil that has already washed up on the Florida keys:
It is mostly oil. Note it is not black. It is brown. It is NOT relatively harmless. It is nasty nasy nasty and contains all sorts of nasty stuff besides asphaltenes. It can seep into soils and sand. Tar balls cannot. Oil blobs (Oil-Jello) are most likely caused by dispersant.
If it’s black and gummy, it did not come from this leak. If it’s brown and loose and gooey, it DID come from this leak and you need to quit calling it a tar ball.
I do not know why BP is still in business, why more action hasn’t been taken, and quite frankly why that fuckwad Hayward hasn’t been gibbeted yet and displayed outside the Capitol.
And mark my words: BP will get off. These companies always do. Personally, I’d like to see someone take him out. POP POP POP, as they say in the ‘hood.
Tony Hayward and his goddamn company have wreaked unimaginable violence on the people of the Gulf, and the rest of the world. Like any other psychopathic killer, BP’s reputation is legendary, and they WILL do this again. Just like they killed those poor people in Texas in 2005:
I am just so disgusted and so tired of seeing powerful people destroy the lives of millions and just walk away, from the smirking pile of filth that occupied the white house to Ken Lay (who I have no doubt is laughing it up in Dubai), to Exxon’s paltry payment in Alaska, and on and on.
I could argue that the state has an interest in some kind of harsh public accountability for these crimes, far beyond the President staging an angry moment like he did last week. Letting BP off with a stern talking to, with predictably useless results, undermines the government to the benefit of the corporation. And we all know what happens when the mob decides enough is enough:
Here’s the truth: Tony Hayward will continue to flourish and grow wealthy as the years go on, while thousands on the Gulf Coast (and millions more as the oil moves up the east coast as expected) will suffer, through lost jobs, destroyed fisheries, ruined beaches. Tony Hayward doesn’t give a fuck about any of that. He could give a tinkers damn. He doesn’t go to thos beaches. He doesn’t live there. He doesn’t make a living as a fisherman. Tony can have his food imported from wherever he wants, and probably has it fed to him by a fucking butler named Jeeves.
We live in a country that executes the retarded and the innocent: it is not as if our people are squeamish about the death penalty. We even assassinate our own citizens without so much as a nod to due process. So is the government willing to take out Tony Hayward? And if not, why not? He’s clearly guilty of reckless negligence, destroying the lives of millions, wiping out 2/3 of our domestic seafood supply, and subjecting our country to an environmental and economic disaster that will persist for decades. In a just world, people would be lining up to watch Hayward get drawn and quartered. Shit, I’d even endorse letting Charles Manson out of prison, handing him a pistol and telling him Tony Hayward hates his music.
Obligatory “I’m not a terrorist” note to the Feds: I’m not the guy to take him out, but if someone did, I would attend the funeral just so I could sing “ding dong the witch is dead” during the funeral mass and do the Snoopy dance on his grave.
