Speaking of Halliburton, I just watched "The Yes Men Fix the World" - a behind the scenes/documentary about the Yes Men's various political/corporate pranks a couple of weeks ago. It was funny, but would have been much funnier if not for the seriousness of the subject matter.

Maybe one day they'll put out an apology on behalf of BP. And pledge the funds BO will no doubt short-change the people affected by the spill.

The whole spill made me immediately think of the Union Carbide chemical disaster in Bhopal India also featured in the movie. There's no comparison in terms of immediate loss of life, but the long-term effects may be just as catastrophic, if not more so.
