3 OT: BP CEO Tony Hayward to resign within next 10wks

"People may not blame this situation on Tony Hayward, but you would be hard-pushed to find anyone within the company who does not think he is irreparably damaged - both by his own performance and by the event itself.”

Not especially surprising. It's been common knowledge that he'll resign after the well is capped, but The Times of London is the 1st source to get it in writing. Also interesting that BP is making the move to prevent a takeover by Shell or Exxon Mobil, which would actually be better for everyone involved.

Questions also persist over the future of Carl-Henric Svanberg, BPÂ’s chairman, who joined only on January 1, when the doomed Macondo drilling program was already well advanced.

He is actually in danger of being fired outright, if I understand correctly. The shareholders are angered that he didn't do more to support Hayward.

The Obama administration has firmly established their legacy:

Police acted stupidly.

Pull over and resign.

etc., etc.

8 Well, my (large) company is hiring...but all new hires are temp-as-needed, with no benefits. It's almost as if we're hedging against getting hammered by rising health benefit costs due to certain recent legislation or something...

Shocking. Inconceivable. Yes.

9 Forgot to remove the OT-- whoops.

David Cameron had a long meeting with 4 senators last night, & they encouraged him to hold an inquiry on the Lockerbie bomber question. He had been rightly blaming the Scottish parliament, but it now looks as though he'll ask his govt to review documents. So, no full inquiry, just a review. (Which is the best thing, considering it is a British matter.)

24 Admin officials reconsider Sherrod firing

Perhaps they should have thought things through before they fired her.

War is not a civilized act.  It is not clean, humane, or kind. 

The things that keeps war from being a perpetual human state are the same things that make it abhorent; its savagery, cruelty and disgustedness.

I live in Tard Town:

Residents of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton metropolitan area are among the least educated in the United States, according to the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based researcher.

Using data from the Brookings Institution, the political website the Huffington Post reported this week that the local metro area ranks 91st out of the 100 largest metro areas in number of adults 25 years and older who have a bachelor's degree.

Only 21 percent of the 385,024 adults in the region hold a bachelor's degree, the report stated. Census 2008 data estimates, which are the most recent available, show the same percentage for the local metro area.

And they all vote Democrat.

33 Cake or death? Anyway, this morning Chris Awesome Christie unveiled an idea to have the state take over Atlantic City. http://tinyurl.com/272a7vn I am not usually into govt takeovers, but this is probably a good idea. AC has *such* potential; it has been painful to watch it suck for so long. Any shakeup, at this point, is probably better than the status quo over there. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Might be a bad idea. Interesting that he came up with it tho.

34 Not hiring - we can't even get a straight answer on what the tax and regulatory changes mean for our current employees.

35 #29

I don't feel for them one iota in this case.

Breitbart started this, admittedly, but the reaction (firing/resigning, hand-wringing, denunciation, finger-pointing, retraction), was entirely self-inflicted both by the NAACP and by the White House.

Everyone involved could have waited one day, and there would be little to no scandal to talk about.

Just out of idle curiosity, is there a list of the "journalists" who were on Journolist yet? I have some extreme prejudice to render against those idiots and the people who employ them. Conde Nast is one. The publish Wired, where Ackerman spews his garbage.

I don't believe that for a second.  He said that showing the tape was an indictment of racism on parade within the NAACP, not an indictment against Sherrod.  The NAACP and the USDA and the administration acted stupidly.

39

that there will be something along the line of 100,000 ads showing him and Bush together and that every other word in that campaign will be "Bush" then it will show that America has turned the corner and that Obama will no longer be able to blame Bush and will be held accountable for the messes he has created in 2012.

Roy Blunt of Missouri has a campaign ad on YouTube linking his opponent to 0bama. The ad is titled: Missouri's Future.

re: the NAACP/Breitbart dustup - I'm glad that someone is exposing the hypocrisy of those who try to smear the TEA party as racist. I don't see that the effort to marginalize the TEA party is all that effective.Seeing more Gadsden flags on homes in my area, and support for the TEA party coming from unexpected sources. While the Alinskyites are focussing their tactics on the TEA party, their leader 0bama has done the most damage to their cause by allowing the lawsuit against AZ to proceed. This is the issue that will tank the dems in November.

During his tenure as US Attorney he prosecuted organized crime figures so I guess he knows what he's up against. Although at this point the NJEA probably makes the real mob look tame.

Jane, this is too weird.  I've been meaning to send a care pkg to a soldier (son of an acquaintance) and wanted to send baked goods until his dad told me the son was trying to lose weight.  However, I found this site just a minute ago, which has a separate heading for sending baked goods overseas. 

You know what I think would go over big for D'oh Boy? Marshmallow Treats.  Yeah, they're hokey, but they're always the first thing to go at bake sales, and I think they'd hold up well under different temps.

53 Wouldn't 18 monkeys kinda tickle?

54 Heh.  My husband is beyond grossed out at even the thought of a marshmallow.  Years ago, when we were dating, we went to a Halloween party and a guy there was dressed in drag.  Someone started feeding him marshmallows and he gagged a bit.  I commented, "If you were a real woman, you'd swallow."

I was pretty popular at the party that night.  And D'oh's ex-girlfriend gave me the stink eye.  Win-win.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too, but I saw Andrew B on Hannity last night and he's sticking to his guns.  He said he received the video in April (although it didn't work).  He forgot about it.  Then, when the NAACP started on the "Tea Partiers are Racist" meme, he remembered it and contacted the DVD-challenged sender and asked for a re-send.

His point was to fight fire with fire and show that while there's no evidence that the TP is racist, there's plenty to show that the NAACP is.  I'd forgotten all about them hosting Calypso Louie at their spring mtg., but WZ didn't.  They have it up today.

WZ also has Journolist quotes about watching Rush die in front of an NPR reporter's eyes and taking over FOX news.

I don't think that's a completely fair characterization (although she admits she used to date Bathtub Boy, which is sickening to contemplate); unlike Medved, she refutes most nutjobs immediately and doesn't let them drone on unchallenged.  I prefer Levin and Tammy Bruce to her but still enjoy listening to her.

The guy (clearly offended) says, "Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?' If I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?"
The clerk says, "Well, no, I probably wouldn't!"

With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, "Well then, why did you ask me if I'm Polish because I asked for Polish sausage?"

The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot."

This administration has been operating on the racist principle so they have to jump the gun or they will lose the innitiative.
