A federal judge in North Carolina has rejected a request by former presidential candidate John Edwards to have his criminal indictment tossed out.

This is somebody who likes politics. It's good for CNN. It's good for all of us. It's all fun and, you know, and this is turning into a big nothing.

The complaints that we are getting still seem to be some coming from, for example, some shrimpers that have processing facilities, some that just brought on more people right in advance of the Macondo Well explosion and have since had some severe layoffs.

We filed legislation just a few weeks ago that would dedicate at least 80 percent of the fines BP will have to pay under Clean Water Act to allow us to restore specific environmental and economic damage.

Yes. OK. Excellent. I thank you for that. And I have no further questions.
