Those british pensioners....the horror....
Por favor mantenganse alejado derrames de petroleo.
Money thirsty gov'ts. How much money do you think will actually go towards the cleanup?
They avoided legal payouts in their gulf spill in the 70s that hit texas, why they think they can get cash from this one?
You are right on the money Rag. More money for some of the most corrupt governmental politicians and generals in the world. I don't think they can topple Nigeria from the throne.
The Money would go to the Mexican Government Officials which in turn would go to the Mexican Drug Cartels, which in turn would feed Drug Addicted American Environmentalists to help cope with the stress that the gusher has created. Nothing would change except it would make Mexico even more of a cesspool than it already is.
On another note...Here's the solution to sopping up oil in the Gulf.
MPU - micronized polyurethane powder

refried beans for the pensioners.
actually, I love them. Bought a 10 pound bag from Sam's Club for $6.35 and made them from scratch. Never eat them from a can again.
Than I found www.waltonfeed.com and ordered me some black beans, rice, kidney beans, etc. Absolutely delicious though if you do not cook them properly you can fuel your car with your own gas.
The garbanzos are especially good. Hummus from scratch. Multiple flavors. Yum. Yum.
"Beans" and "gas" in the same paragraph just leaves too much open to interpretation here. I am concerned about the fuel delivery system you speak of here. Sounds uncomfortable.
No oil has even come close to Mexico, its all in the northern Gulf.
Noah,
When has that ever stopped one ot the top 3 most corrupt Governments on the planet for trying to get something for free?.
Their illustrious leader Calderon, is a sorry worthless son of a thieving bitch.How he can stand before the American people, and say the things he does, is beyond the pale.
Their police forces, and military are a horror.Their immigration policies are attrocious, and property ownership, citizenship is all but impossible,starting a business, as a foreigner comes w/ a steep price.(a leech).
Mexico, gives nothing to the world, abd expects everything for free.
He would fit well w/ the GS gang.
We should have taken them over, and annexed them years ago......and seized all their assets.
God knows they have eaten ours for years for free.
Excuse the OT rant, but as a Texan, I have had all I want from Senior Calerfukinron.
A great pinto bean recipe to try:

Affordable, healthy, delicious, and dried pintos have a LONG shelf life.
Tell me again why we haven't invaded Mexico for their oil yet?
Oh I remember now. Because they're "cooperating". Yeah, that's the ticket.
You don't need to invade Mexico, they're all here. Nobody home, just walk in.
because then we'd have to fix all their fucking problems in addition to our own - no thanks - they can keep them - I'll pay the premium
CS,
Right on..........see my rant above.
Missed this, got pissed before the scroll down.
Tell me again why we haven't invaded Mexico for their oil yet?
Because they are already our bitch.
Why the heck would the US want to assume responsibility for the other 75% of the Mexican population. They sell their oil just like every other commodity producer does. They can decide to keep it and not take payment. That causes them to be better off in what way exactly? Donkeys do not require oil.
An interesting advertisement from back in the 1920's for tractors noted that "It only eats when it works." Isn't technology great?
Cruise operators next....:-)
Mexi-who?
Wait till South America and Cuba look for their fair share. Try to comprehend how the claims could rise when the Caribbean is impacted. Their entire livelihood is contingent on U.S. & European tourism dollars. If this spill continues long enough it will eventually make it's way to the Caribbean.
That might already be a done deal... just a matter of time now - winds, loop current, etc. to get it there.
meh...who's got the money to go on vacations anyway.
The banks would foreclose on all the hotels around the world if they could afford the bills it would create.
and every island nation from Bahamas to Belize. The buzzards are circling to pick the bones.
Oh finally good news for Haiti!
Is Mexico the 57th state that Obama keeps blabbering about?
I believe it falls right after Kenya on the list.
Once he takes over Kenya he will be legal.
I'm just happy he did not choose my father's Social security number.
To say their Fucked is an Understatement.
Gulf states and Mexico starving... and BP looks like a big medium-rare filet mignon with butter all over it. Yummy.
OT: Does anyone know the financial comedy blog that had two British fellows doing a question and answer segment that was just hilarious?
Don't know the origin, but I think you are talking about this:

YES!
Thank you.
It's an Australian and New Zealander, actually. You need to study up on your accent recognition skills.
Was on Australian National TV.
John Clarke and Bryan Dawe
This was another good one. Front Fell Off
I vaguely remembered it, all colonials default to British. LOL.
Australia declares war on New Zealand !!!

How long before the oil rides the gulf stream to the North Atlantic and BP is then sued by the UK?
This is especially rich, since PeMex refused to pay damages for its colossal Ixtoc I spill in 1979, citing "sovereign immunity".
That doesn't surprise me.
You can still buy lead based paint down here too. They paint school interiors with it. No, really.
B I N G O
PEMEX trying to make up for Cantarell and other declines by acquiring BP's reserves.
After this debacle, no private oil company will touch this deepwater shit. PEMEX has no ability whatsoever to go get it, only Petrobras does. Need to marry a brazilian soon and get some land down there I guess. The State oil companies' power continues to climb and they renegotiate with multinationals at the point of a gun.
Mexico peaked in 2004, bankrupt now...in a state of almost civil war. Clusterfuck of a country.
Do not be that happy when your neighbours are doing bad, shit splat a lot.
I knew I needed a new plan. Brasil it is!
WE ARE BAHIA
Yes, when times are tough all over your liability skyrockets.
I'd say stick a fork in them, looks like it's all over bar the shouting for BP. Too many desperate, hungry, indebted, starving:
- Industries
- Countries
- States
- Businesses
- Individuals
This pinata is going to get smashed and all those affected will gorge on the contents. Then, the problem of a dead sea will still be there once everyone has had their fill of legal debauchery. Only one that won't get compensated is Mother Earth.
Something tells me she will have her vengeance however.....
Yes, and to quote one of the best presidents ever,
"This sucker could go down."
Isn't that what he said about Jeff Gannon?
You gotta' wonder if that is the real reason that they are being allowed to use so much dispersant. What beaches are they REALLY worried about?????
Danny Glover: "Your soverign immunity has just been revoked.."

Good thing I bought OTM puts. Get your lottery tickets while they're still good. This one's gonna payoff...
When Ixtoc I blew up in 1979 the Mexican gov't (which owns Pemex) told the US to fuck off on the clean-up costs, approximately $400million in 1980 dollars.
I say we shit on Mexico, It's already in the proper vicinity.
Nols,
Impossible when you have the PO-YUS, Dogknotted w/Calderon,
Give some folks an inch, they take a mile,in Mehicos case, they take your counrty.
I feel really badly for the Hispanic people in general..........but, times come when you have to stand up,and take over your country, if you want change.
All America has done, is screw them, and us, all for a buck.Created a welfare COUNTRY, including ours.
Nothings changed there in my lifetime, except bad to worse,hey!.
At least we have that in common.
Had a gander lately? The governor is off the throttle:

Mexico sees the writing on the water.
BP should put a wedding band on it. Then I guarantee it will stop putting out.
They give us gardeners and busboys , we give them oil ... what's the problem ???
Once all the lawsuits are done, maybe we will not be in a depression anymore.
...haha, right on Mr. H. Lawyers are flies to shit on a continental disaster like this with deep pockets. They'll give the victims a good fucking too.
BP = BHOpal
BPs assets need to be seized as soon as possible, before they start sloughing them off to subsidiaries/shell companies; in order to cover the almost unlimted liability they have incurred.
Rosie O'Donnell agreed..........
Seize the company, invade, take over the UK, do whatever it takes, call it Communism, whatever, just get THEM.
Yeah, sounds reasonable Rosie.
Anyone know where I can join a class action suit gainst the US Government agencies for their gross and criminal negligence in environmental / safety issues, regarding the granting of Anglo-Iranian the license to drill into the earths`crust in the first place? Risk analysis eh?
Whilst we are at it, where are RIG in all of this? We read that as a subcontractor they did whatever was asked of them despite being aware of the dangers. Really.
To fix all Mexicos problems you'd have to put a long list of people against the wall and shoot them. We don't do that anymore - the trick is to win their hearts and minds. Trouble is they have already won the hearts and minds of our politicians. They are in awe of the looting and class perks and want the same system here.
Don't you find it strange that the most dangerous city in the world is right on the border of the US (Juarez). We could solve Mexico's drug problem by simply not buying drugs. I doubt if all those sanctimonious former hippies would agree to that. It's ok for drug rings there to decapitate people and throw their bodies in the desert as long as babacool can get his daily hit.
Don't sweat, at some point before the cost of the damages and lawsuits/liabilities etc become clear, GS (backed by Team -O and the UK government) would sell the deal to some wealthy sovereign funds (most likely Chinese or Asian) to take over BP, and probably at a premium to market. This time (as opposed to the CNOOC-Unocal deal) will be blessed by Peolosi and Team-O. That by the way was what Cameron suggested to Obama and why Cameron came out supporting O for his "tough" stance on BP. Let the chinese take over the liabilities if they want BP. Save our pensioners, tough luck for the SWF and their pensioners. And most importantly, the deal would mean the SWF/Asia would be writing a phenomenally fat cheque to GS just after they are taken private.
BP is an easy target in the current international fairground sideshow alley. Many people are taking pot-shots to get a prize. Mexico is a perfect nation with no problems. Its pristine environment should not be sullied by the presence of evil foreign corporations. Any claims of compensation must be heard in fairness and balance. The matters of jurisprudence brought up by this case are complex. A good judge is required.
Buying support continues ...
