Count on Dave for some gallows humor:
TOP TEN BP EXCUSES10. The Gulf of Mexico was overdue for its 3,000-mile oil change.9. We promise we’ll get around to it by Labor Day.8. Relax, it’s only leaking 210,000 gallons a day.7. Giving everyone a free BP travel mug.6. Louisiana hasn’t had a disaster in 5 years.5. Guy from Goldman Sachs said it would make money.4. Blame FEMA.3. Did you hear Ricky Martin’s gay?2. Blame Toyota.1. Honestly, we’re so reckless — surprised it took this long
