Buck passing on CSPAN

A couple of weeks ago executives from Goldman Sachs were staring at the ceiling while congress questioned them. Now we have BP, Haliburton and Transocean’s presidents shrugging their shoulders and telling senators, “It wasn’t me” (but would anybody be surprised if their fingers are crossed behind their backs?). Conservatives have amassed their talking points, attempting to convince those concerned about the ecological effects of offshore drilling that this only happens two or three times every sixty some odd years and it’s better for our country’s security than any alternatives. Somehow, I don’t think most of the people in Louisiana would agree these days.
