Shocka! Appeasement Still Working As Well As Ever (Part II)

If I understand President Ogabe's position correctly, it's that when a guy stands on a table screaming 'Allah Ackbar!' while hosing down his fellow troops, only a bigot could possibly read some kind of religious angle into all that. On the other hand, when a oil rig explodes the key factor is that the company concerned used to be called 'British Petroleum'.

Hmmmm.... apart from anything else, what's the theory of the crime here? The guys at BP were all drinking tea while watching the cricket when something, something, something and then there was a huge explosion.

What's the middle bit here? Still, before we anoint Tony Haywood as an other bold Atlas holding up an ungrateful world, let's remind ourselves of his company's fine record of crocodile feeding.

Yep - just as long as econuttery was a good way to shiv their competitors, BP were down with the program. It's only now, when they've become the latest folks to discover that you can go to bed with liberals, but they won't respect you in the morning, that BP have suddenly decided that Big Government isn't all sunshine & song, after all

Not that THe One has anything against the British, of course. That bust of Churchill just clashed with the wallpaper his wife wanted...

Though you'd think even the Yanks would wake up to the absurdities of the eco movement and the H&S movement when it prevents anyone getting to the cleanup without their oversight...
