"What could possibly go wrong?" (Gagging-sound here.) Murphy's Law applies in today's Tom Tomorrow 'toon (and in the Gulf of Mexico off the U.S. coast): "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." In the meantime, as we fiddle, the Gulf is destroyed. Enough! Nationalize British Petroleum holdings in the U.S. and seize control of this disaster, Mr. President! BP is today's version of "The Smartest Guys In The Room." If this is a (fair & balanced) call to the barricades, so be it.
