This atheist offers the closest thing to a "prayer"

[scheming daemons]

To the BP engineers operating the robots and otherwise preparing for the 'top kill' attempt:



"Good luck. We're all counting on you."




Rememeber folks.... a lot of the people working for BP are just like you and me. Ordinary people trying to get by and make a living. The higher-ups effed things up badly.... but as usual, the "grunts", the people like you and me, are working to save their bosses asses.

Right now, there are engineering crews working those robots and otherwise preparing to try to plug this hole. These people need our support. They might be all that is standing between us and decades of a dead Gulf of Mexico.

Hopefully, by tomorrow night at this time, we have some good news.

1. Can I get an "amen"?

2. Amen. Praise the lord and pass the mud for the top kill (nt)

3. amen, brother!

4. Bwaaaaaahahahahha! Surely you must be joking.

I just saw that movie a couple weeks ago for about the 6th time. It was a riot!

5. And after reading your post,

you're so right. People are risking their own health to clean up this crap, and they're not making bazillions like Tony Heyward, or whatever his name is. Is Ken Salazar out there with waders on? Because he sure as hell oughta be.

7. And you are right on about Salazar. He and Heywood both should

be in waders and both need to be fired.

6. Something we can agree on. I pray for everyone making this effort.

8. Verily

Though it couldn't hurt if Jesus surfed out there and helped them out a little. O8)

9. Absolutely!

You hit all the right notes. And if this works, I want every down on the ground (water) worker to get a medal and I want all the BP executives summarily shot. And I've always been against capital punishment, even for Bush and Cheney. I'm not sure why I'm bending my rules now.
