I was on MSNBC's Countdown last night, talking with Keith Olbermann about oil getting into Lake Pontchartrain, and BP's rejection of virtually every idea for cleaning up the oil spill. Have a look:

I had Olbermann on last night and lo and behold, there Bob was again! Good job!!!
(Meanwhile, I am still laughing - when not raging about Rush - about Olbermann's final comment. "Oprah, go crush that schmuck!"
(Referring to that racist pig Limbaugh!)
Hurricane readers who believe in "the wisdom of crowds" and the utility of prediction futures might want to visit the Irish site Intrade.com
There are currently several BP related markets:
hurricane landfalls
Haywood departure
BP chapter 11
BP UK bankruptcy
Gulf drilling moratorium
Regret to inform there are no markets yet for A-Whale, or when the well is capped.
I've been traveling most of the Spring/Summer and have been pleasantly surprised to see Bob as almost a regular on MSNBC. When your away for extended periods, turning on the TV and seeing someone you recognize from Houston and the Daily Hurricane makes Houston seem closer. Plus, someone as soft spoken and knowledgeable as Bob reflects well on Houston and surrounding areas IMO.
BP's "not invented here problem." Which leads to the ever popular rhetorical question "why is BP still calling the shots"?
