Carl Hiaasen Takes Aim at BP
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 12:02AM 
Every time a BP executive appears on television, I think of the garage scene from the movie Animal House. An expensive car belonging to Flounder's brother has just been trashed on a drunken road trip, and the smooth-talking Otter comforts the distraught Delta pledge with these cheery words: ``You f----- up! You trusted us! Hey, make the best of it.''
If only the BP guys were half as honest.

I'm loving the Animal House analogy. Not being any good at the smooth talker thing myself, I do wonder how people get to be so good at it. When will we stop being so gullible and call these talking heads out on the crap they spew at us 24/7? Simple questions like, "Where is your data?" or "Can you tell me the source of this information?" is only the beginning of the conversation that should be going on.
