BP has spent $2 billion in two months of fighting its Gulf of Mexico oil spill and compensating victims, with no end in sight to the disaster or the price tag.
The only relief we can count on in the Gulf will be from the BP drilling crews. That's something to keep in mind as the lynch mob races to find a hanging tree, armed with blind hysteria and a coil of sea-grass rope.
Wendell Guidry, the drilling superintendent, says it's "anyone's guess" which of the two wells will intersect the gusher first.
Still, Guidry said, it's unclear which rig will hit the target first.
