Another lie another dollar
Let me post the first of what I’m sure will be many more lies this week from BP.

As the oil gusher that began in early Spring continues to spew into the start of Summer I suppose I could come up with something creative and novel. But instead I’ll just note yet another lie from BP.
A BP estimate made after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon noted that as much as 100,000 barrels per day could leak into the ocean if the blowout preventer and wellhead were removed, a higher worst-case scenario than previously reported.
Which leads to the question of what were they lying about before?
The figure is the highest yet to surface regarding the leaking oil well. At the disaster’s outset, BP claimed the leak was about 1,000 barrels a day, a number it later revised to 5,000 and then much higher. BP told the House Energy and Commerce Committee that the worst-case scenario was 60,000 barrels (2.5 million gallons) a day, lower than what the document states.
So when do they release the memo in which they admit they were just trying to bring about Joe Barton’s opportunity for being raptured?
Whatever they’re doing, Bill Kristol demands you be nice to them — criticism is only for the small people.
