A Few Words on the BP Spill

With all the finger pointing in Washington on who's really to blame for the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico (the wildest one being Nanci Pelosi saying Bush is to blame), It was time to do some soul searching, and figure out who was to blame. That's easy, are you near a mirror? If you are, look at it. That's who's to blame, all of us.

Why Matt, why must you blame me? I was too busy watching American Idol when it happened. Look at what's going on. Safety regulations are a joke. Do you realize there are actual human beings who have to work on these rigs? They're gone for months at a time, risking their lives on a daily basis, just so you can put gas in your car to go to work, or shop, or whatever you do. For years, the oil companies have been worse than that ran down restaurant with the health inspector (you know the restaurant I'm talking about...you only eat there when you feel suicidal, and pass it every day wondering if it's even open).

These guys slip million of dollars a year to Congress (and yes, you Obama lovers, your beloved Barak too ($77,000+ just from BP, that doesn't count the other oil companies)) just to keep the regulations down, and to halt the looking into of alternative energy sources. Oh, did I mention that some of the louder voices (Mary Landreu, Bobby Jindal) that talk out of both sides of their mouths, take the most money from BP?

Oh, and there was that fundraiser where Nanci Pelosi (who's actually under 3 separate ethics investigations over PAC money, and was bought off by overpaid ambulance chasers a long time ago) blamed the Bush admin (who's been out of power for two years). She claims that everyone in the offices of over site with the oil is still from the Bush admin, and just let it happen, because they are huge Bush people. Oh, did I mention where the fundraiser was? It was at a big contributor's mansion. Oh, yeah, there is that little fact that said contributor's fortune was made in oil. Whoopsy.

Back to what this has to do with you. The people to blame are the ones who vote for that letter behind people's names. The people to blame are the ones that disassociate themselves to the point that who wins American Idol, or what happens on Lost is more important than what's going on around them. The people to blame are the ones who do what celeberties tell them to.

That covers about 98% of America. So, yes...YOU ARE TO BLAME. If you want to fix the problem. Throw the corrupt ones out. If the person you elect to replace them becomes corrupt, THROW THEM OUT. They can kick you down, but kick back. Show Washington and their friends, it's time to shape up, or ship out. They're there to represent us, not their rich criminal friends.
