Maybe Branson could sponsor the team if he still would like to be involved

is it just me or is this thing taking waaaay too long?

I hear they signed the old man to drive for this year and snubbed Senna.  Is barrichello just willing to drive for pennies?

Bruno Senna has done very little to show he deserves an F1 seat. He's got little experience, failed to make a big impression in GP2 and hasn't won a championship in any of the series he's raced in.
His attitude at times has frankly stunk. He's on numerous occasions come across as acting like he should be given the seat because of his name (although in part I put some of that down as bernies fault saying the same thing "it would be good for the sport to have a senna on the grid")
He needs to go back to GP2 for another season, win some races and more importantly win the title before he should be considered for a drive.
Rubens gives Honda, stability, a sound technical back up (again something senna is not good at) and if people have forgotten, he beat out his highly touted team mate last year, and drove that dog of a Honda to third place at silverstone. He gets on with the job without causing problems and is what Honda need right now in a transition year.
