Sonic Overload 6/21/10

No, your ears don’t deceive you. In case you hadn’t heard the news, Republican (of course) Congressman Joe Barton actually apologized to BP for what he considered a “shakedown” by the Obama administration where they’re setting up a $20 billion fund to help pay compensation to those affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He then backed down—somewhat—but the idea that he’d even consider apologizing to those corporate vermin is beneath contempt. And the right-wing lapdogs were all saying he had a point, as well. So the first couple of songs, this week, are dedicated to those tools. And while we’re add it, I’ll dedicate the last song, “Vengeance,” to them, as well—the part about corporate criminals getting away with a slap on the wrist. $20 billion might be more than a slap but there are already reports it might not be enough... so a pox on all of them...
