Gulf Oil Spill: BP CEO Tony Hayward Says The Leak Will Be Stopped SOMEDAY
Edited on Thu May-06-10 08:31 AM by Are_grits_groceries
LONDON — The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico will be stopped, BP's chief executive said in an interview broadcast Thursday, although he was unable to give an estimate of when that might happen or how much it will ultimately cost.

Tony Hayward told the British Broadcasting Corp. that it was too early to judge the cost of stopping the leak, mopping up the oil and compensating claims for damages.

Hayward called it a battle: "We will ultimately win it because ultimately one of the interventions to stop the leak will stop the leak."

BP is now preparing to attempt to place a funnel – a 100-ton concrete and steel structure – over the leak 50 miles (80 kms) from the coast of Louisiana to contain the spill and allow the oil to be pumped to shore.

Someday?

He should set it to music. Just change one word to "the oil will stop": http://www.youtube.com/v/zm9zFJsEDHk

1. Somewhere
over the rainbow (sheen) . . .

maybe the lyrics are due for a contextual re-write.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star and
wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

4. CCR Said:
Someday Never Comes

First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS:
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

:)
