I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of assessment of this mess in my head, but the news seems to change with the wind and there is so much information to process on it, that I still feel like I’m floundering around without direction. Perhaps an apt metaphor might be, that I feel like a sea bird in an oil spill.

The situation is certainly worse than what is being stated and eyewitness reports from those not associated with BP are saying as much.  BP proves time and again that they are lying sacks of horse manure, with no integrity of any measurable kind.

Still, with the deluge of data, I can’t seem to come up with a distinct and succinct way to verbalize my assessment of it all.  I guess I’m suffering writer’s block.

Thankfully, Washington’s Blog has managed to write an article on the subject, rife with links to all the data, to save me from my current stupefied verbal impotence.  It manages beautifully to summarize the situation and all that is wrong with it.
