The Analogy to End All Analogies

I don’t know how this could be any more apt.

This actually rolls into a thought I had some time ago.  Perhaps I will expand on it in the future, but the outline is this:

BP is completely fucked.

Haiti is completely fucked.

How about BP brings four or more of those oil platforms that measure a square mile over to Haiti, lash them together and invite as many people as they can to live in that four square mile radius.  They could do the retrofit themselves of the structures, BP wouldn’t have to do the work.  Additionally, they could sell them for a modest price to the Red Cross, who I heard has a surplus of cash and BP could use some good PR.
