I don't pretend to know all the dynamics of trying to stem the flow of an
oil gusher a mile under the sea.

There you go with that high opinion again. You really should get help.

IOW, you didn't even try.

I'm not picking nits, I'm pointing out your lack of honesty. You make a
claim that there was no evidence on the internet WRT the BHO administration
awarding BP a safety award just prior to the rig blowing up. When it was
pointed out to you that there is plenty on the internet about it, you start
playing games.

ROFLOL!

You made the claim, back it up. You are the one claiming I have heroes and
that I emulate them. Either you had some idea who these supposed heroes
are, or you're just shooting in the dark.

Your use of the term "bright boy" and "I'm sure you'll
figure it out someday" in an attempt to call my intelligence into
question.

You think you are clever, but you really aren't.
