Dear Randy Prescott of BP Oil:

A read your thoughtful remarks concerning the completely avoidable disaster your company has inflicted upon the Gulf region - and I quote

"Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp.”

In response, please let me add my own quote, this one from the new HBO series TREME (episode Two)

"Fuck you, you fucking fuck."

Did you perhaps learn your graciousness from Dennis Hastert, who suggested New Orleans just be bulldozed over following Katrina? Or maybe your muse is Barbara Bush, wife of a top ten worst presidents ever, and mother to the clear choice as the number one worst president ever (Ulysses Grant and James Buchanan are breathing a deep sigh of relief). Babs suggested the refugees from the Gulf in Houston's Astro Dome probably never had it so good. Living on the floor of a stadium was like a vacation.

I have blind copied 100 people, whom I hope blind copy 100 each so that you at least need to suffer the inconvenience of an inbox loaded with hate mail while many here have the inconvenience of carving out new careers and lives.

Oh, by the way, my dear bcc's, Randy Prescott's phone number is (713) 323-4093 if you'd rather reach him by phone (or in addition to).
