Even with the oil still coming out of its broken well under the Gulf of Mexico, BP's lawyers are working behind the scenes to get a leg up on the people who are suing them

    • Fuck them....Those rich greedy assholes.
      Its funny how all this oil is being lost and its so so so so hard to find but the gas prices are dropping. Um, Busted! you lieing pieces of shit! We want our money back and clean up your god damn mess you cheap fucks to cheap to install the right equipment. And Texas...You can kiss my ass also. I'm tired of all the racist red neck fuckers and all the shady bullshit that comes from there. blah blah blah blah - Rant over :)

    • I agree. Nothing about corporate lawyers should surprise anyone. First Transocean tries to cap its liability (pardon the pun) at $27 million for an exposure that is conservatively estimated to this point to be $10 billion. Now BP figures they'll stack a jury with good ole boys and get off without paying for what they've done. Sure, maybe it 'shouldn't be a surprise' but that's just it. For them it's just "business as usual." So what if we spoiled one of the world's most precarious 'carbon sinks'? Who cares? We got a Texas court in our back pocket. Screw the plaintiffs. Where's John Grisham?

      I don't know how well that is going to go over in Texas, the Motto is "don't mess with Texas" after all... On a serious not, the jury pool is so tainted they would have to go to Mars to find anyone to be mildly sympathetic. Although if hardly any oil land on beaches where people in Texas can see it they might have a chance, slim but still a chance.
