At this point, scolding BP is like denouncing Hitler--somewhat superfluous. Depending on how long it takes to clean up this fustercluck they made (and by "cleaning up," I mean to the point that the news can't do any new human-interest stories about Nawlins fishermen going homeless and such; tarry ducks will become old hat in a few weeks), BP may or may not collapse. Either way, I assume that all people in extreme upper management will eventually be released with nice or not-so-nice golden parachutes regardless of their performance or relation to the leak. Boycotting BP will, in all likelihood, only result in layoffs among schmucks somewhere on the bottom, 95% of whom had nothing to do with the disaster. So I say meh.

Not that it matters in my case. I think there's a BP station somewhere around here, but I can't recall where or if I ever frequented it in the past.
