BP IS NOT DENYING CLAIMS BUT NOT PAYING THEM OUT EITHER?

So, the Gulf oil leak is nicely plugged up with mud and cement, and the clean-up effort is sort of moving along (a whole other story) but now we're learning they aren't denying the 145,000 claims they've received from distressed and displaced workers, but they're not paying them all out either. Reportedly, they have so far paid out $324 million dollars without denying one claim. Yeah, it sounds good until you dig a little deeper. That's where you'll find the dung.

IN BP NEWS: BILL CLINTON SAYS LET'S JUST BLOW UP THE LEAKING PIPE!

Wellll, actually Clinton says if we don't let the BP people do their job with containment and clean-up, the only other option is to send the Navy down deep and blow it up. "Not with nuclear weapons, or anything. Just blow-it up." F the sea life. Let's just cover it all up with rubble and fuggettaboutit! Wow. This thing is so outta hand, it's beyond criminal at this point. People shouldn't be doing things they can't fix if it gets screwed up. But, who are we??? [Gawker]

BP OIL SPILL REACHES DAY 50, SLOW CONTAINMENT BRINGS "THE CHICAGO" OUT OF OBAMA...(VIDEO)

President Obama with BP CEO Tony Hayward

Calm, cool President Obama is even calm and cool when he's angry...and cursing? Guess Obama's giving the people what they've been askin' for-- more agression from our nation's leader. Or, as Bill Maher put it, "a real black man in the white house" when it comes to this oil spill disaster. Is he expressing real anger, or is he turnt up for the cameras? We'll see if he if this thing gets handled sooner than later, and if the people responsible are actually criminally punished as Obama has promised. In the meantime, keep wolfin' like the boss dog you are, President Obama! We got your back! [CNN]
