THURSDAY: A gaffe of small proportions.

Following a four hour meeting with President Obama, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg disputed the claim that BP doesn't care about gulf residents. He argued that they care so much that they were willing to give them millions of barrels of oil for free. Svanberg's word choice is drawing criticism, though, for saying that BP cares about "small people." It makes sense that they would, though, as smaller people often drive bigger cars and use more gasoline. To be fair to the chairman, English is his second language. He later released a statement to clarify, saying that BP cares about "insignificant people."

Game 7 of the NBA Finals is tonight. You can flip over from baseball and watch the entire game in between batters.
