BP vs. Apollo 13

A great read from Timothy Egan about "can do," not vs. "can't do," but, "won't do."

And, as he compares BP's actions to those of Exxon 20-some years ago, it's clear that's what BP, as a Division I member of Big Oil, is all about. Not "can't do." But "won't do."

And, the longer we don't get a real climate bill, the longer Obama won't push the Senate to use reconciliation procedures even to pass the weak crap of a "climate bill" on its plate, and more, it's ever more clear that Just.Another.Politician.™ has some "won't do" issues too. And not just here. Torture, and other things, this is all about "looking forward," not backward.
