Hmmm... well the transgender person said 30k barrels a day with the 1979 spill, but the deep water spill is actually around 100k a day as recent reports are saying. I mean the early estimates seemed odd, the pressure is very great compared to what they were reporting a few weeks ago regarding the spill estimate.

The technology has improved, such as with blow-out bags, but we are talking a much stronger pressure release, one that can actually cut through thick steel. I think any deep water well has a potential to blow, though I've heard there were some pretty poor measures taken to prevent such a thing from happening in this case.

But aint it so nice that while over the weekeknd about 200k barrels of oil gushed into the Gulf while British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward had time for a yacht race while Obama was playing golf?

Nice...Best quote so far, Tony Hayward "I want my life back."

Ya...so do all the people whose lives are actually fucked from this.

Or maybe, you know, the 11 people who DIED.

Well Tony is British (British Petroleum), so I guess its a matter of "can't see it from my house". I wonder if he would have taken the weekend off if it was washing up on the shores of England and destroying their fishing industry. Obama has no excuse as usual, he's just a cheer leader by trade. I'm sure all the clean up jobs will factor into his positive job creation report efforts. Maybe they can dump kool-aid on the spill and make everything better. Little kiss on the forehead. Awwww... all better now.
