I did not know about the Bush family connection, thanks for that.
I worked for one of the companies that made the 'faulty' blow off valve (but not in that department, I must to add), so have been following developments there. Mistakes were made, at many levels, but it always seems BP are the baddies! The whole oil game is the same, BP were just unlucky (probably) to be the guy without a chair when the music stopped.
The USA would have had to adapt to a very different lifestyle without Gulf oil (as with the UK/Norway in the North Sea), so I am afraid it is a risk that goes with gain. I wonder what the past President (s) would have done????
Anyhow, on with nudity, the only oil I smell now is....sun tan oil!!!
