Are you realizing yet BP is a rogue corporation? They are thumbing
their noses at every single citizen of America.

This is a high-order scandal. It's not good, if it is true.

LOL! Notice the "DONATE" button is promenent. Yup. I believe what those

Everybody's trying to cash in on this, but it's the corporation that's
greedy. I love it.

A high order scandal? You are kidding right? For goodness sake, some flunky
wanted to make a btter looking picture for the web site. It is a non-issue.

What if Fox carried the story? Would you be more likely to believe it?

They don't have a "Donate" button.

Yes they do, but only the advertisers see it. They don't work for free, and
if a small web site asks for donations to support costs, it does not
necessarily mean their content is in doubt.

Next you'll be repeating what dbu once said: He doesn't trust books because
authors get paid for writing.

I'm not paying a blogger, or trusting one.

You've posted blogs as sources in the past, just a week or two after
complaining about bloggers.

You did it once, so that torpedoes any objections you have to bloggers.
Forever. It's all or nothing.

Then that would make it not true, and the scandal would not exist. But if if
is true, and not the non-issue that you make it out to be, then there is a
big problem. That's all. I happen to agree with you that it is the work of
some flunky that is playing with his PhotoShop, but if we are wrong ...
