1. Howard doesn't interest me, but the FDL logo covering up

the countdown logo does. This is the second time I've seen this on a video since yesterday...the first being when they took Bill Nelson's session with Andrea Mitchell and put it out with the FDL logo on it. Does this mean they bought it from MSNBC?

2. He's become a complete idiot

5. Agreed - must switch TV!

3. The point we should be making

is not that the U.S. is bigger than BP.
The U.S., the environment in the Gulf of Mexico, and the well-being of humanity and the sea generally are MORE IMPORTANT than any objective BP could set for itself or others.
Governments are meant to govern.
The world, I would hope, was meant to go on.
And corporations with their narrow profit-making interests should be no more powerful than tiny dogs.

4. But, but, corporations are people too Sparky

..cept they dont go to prison like people.
