What if it was Nice?

Here's a little tid-bit I picked up on the financial news.............
New York (Market Watch)…..9 June 9, 2010 Societe Generale analysts Evgeny Solovyov and Aymeric de-Villaret said in a note to clients, “This is no longer a question of the strength of its balance sheet (which we think is strong enough) but of whether BP will be able to take the situation under sufficient control by the time it has to decide on the dividend…to come up with a story palatable for the U.S. politicians and public opinion.”.........
So, a "grand" financial institution of France would like to see BP come up with some sort of "story" that we would find "palatable". How's this for palatable....If it wasn't for our saving your FROG ass, you'd still be saluting a guy with a cute little mustache.
If this spill was off the coast of Nice, or maybe Normandy, you'd probably think twice about wanting BP to come with a story. France would have to be concerned with all the rioting in the streets and the burning of BP's office throughout Europe instead.
Oh! Wait! That's right.....the oil is going to hit the Gulf Stream and then enter the Atlantic; destination........Europe.
I guess I'll have to hope that BP comes up with a story palatable for the EU and European opinion. HA-HA!
