Nice pick up!!

No. The waves generated by the hurricanes alone would render the booms completely useless, and since most of the boom being put up now was done so improperly (boom is supposed to be V-shaped with some sort of reservoir at the apex, not straight parallel to the coast), they would have to disconnect from the containment cap so all the thousands of barrels they are collecting currently would be released for a week or so as the ships retreat then reconnect. Instead of cleaning up a 500sq. mile (numbers made up) area, you'll then have a 900sq. mile area, including all the oil that washed up WAY far inland due to the storm surge.

No kidding the booms would become useless in a hurricane, I never said they wouldn't.

There has been one other similar spill in the Gulf. In 1979 about 140 million gallons of oil poured into the water off the coast of Mexico after a drilling rig blowout. A hurricane disrupted efforts to cap that well but the storm also dispersed the oil, diminishing its impact. Forecasters say predicting a hurricane's impact is a guessing game.

or some guy who spews complete garbage like "oil spills are natural and healthy for the environment, it will take care of itself", l.

Well duh. The oil comes from the earth so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Actually a hurricane needs to come in. It would displace the oil so thin it wouldn't matter. That'd be a better clean up than we could ever imagine doing within a reasonable cost.

hurr durr

he said looking for evidence of racism at tea parties.

i posted that picture. is it evidence? it looks fairly racist to me.

i never said ALL the tea party is racist. obvs its not a klan rally.

LOL awesome. anyone can pass a lie detector test. they are a total pseudoscience.

there is a reason they are not admissable in court.

lol, I wasn't really directing that at you. It's just that people say the tea party people are racist but yet won't admit that the other side is just as racist and pull the same stunts at the tea parties.

I can't make this one. I'll be up in the Chardon/Cleveland area for some family stuff.

Option 3 of course is to revolt/rebel. Save for the fact that it would be just me, unarmed, trying to rebel. Not a choice favorite.

There would be quite a few I'd imagine.

Fuck all the morons that are all about trying to cause fear and panic over this shit. There is no global warming. It is all a normal part of the Earth's cycle. Damn hippies.

Al Gore isn't a moron, he invented the internet. Geesh.

Damn SIDS took my beautiful healthy baby. She went to sleep and didnt wake up. The English language lacks the verbage to express the level of pain, helplessness, disappointment, and crushed dreams. The overall ass-suck-ness is damn near debilitating.

I have not begun to deal with it yet... I'm leaning heavily on my friends and family because I'm tellin' ya... it makes you want to throw in the towel and give all the way up.

I thank y'all for your words of encouragement, thoughts and prayers. I need them all, keep 'em coming.. and please. If you have kids nieces nephews grandbabies, get off the computer right now and hug them.

Wow. I am really sorry to hear this. My daughter is 3 and I couldn't imagine going through this. Just don't throw in the towel, things have a way of working out.

you trying to get a shirt too?

Nah, just an observation.

Get ready for...

Hmm.. you may be onto something. I'll have to give that a try...

I've always called them "sidecuts". I never liked the term "dyke". It's a word that implies I'm not getting what I want tonight. I don't like that.

See, when I say it I say it with an "i" you say it with a "y". That must make the difference.

I call them dikes. Think I picked it up from my grandfather.

Don't you suck me into this shit; I'm barely recovered from Chevysoldiers open carry thread.

My bad man. I never, ever expected that thread to take off the way it did.

???

i dunno, but one thing i DO know is that anyone who willingly calls themselves a "teabagger" is clearly out of touch with society. but they might like to join my dirty sanchez party. its focus is immigration.

Yeah, all "teabaggers" must be racist. That sign proves it.

On April 8, 2010, it was announced that the National Tea Party Federation had been set up to publicize the movement, and in particular to respond to criticism, such as allegations of racist behavior by protesters. On April 26, 2010, the organization sent a letter to the Congressional Black Caucus denouncing racism and requesting that the CBC supply any evidence of the alleged events at the protest on March 20, 2010.

Representative André Carson said that as he walked from the Cannon House Office Building with Representative John Lewis, amid chants of "Kill the bill" he heard the "n-word" coming from several places in the crowd,. One man "just rattled it off several times." Carson quoted Lewis as saying, "You know, this reminds me of a different time." Conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart, who was not present at the protest, has claimed that the racial slurs and other allegations by Cleaver, Lewis and Carson were fabricated as part of a plan to annihilate the Tea Party movement by all means necessary, and they never actually happened. He has offered a $100,000 charitable donation to the United Negro College Fund if Lewis can provide audio or video footage of the slurs, or pass a lie detector test

On Saturday, during the peaceful and patriotic tea party protest at the Capitol, the Democrats staged a series of symbolic acts meant to manipulate the media to do its bidding. The Congressional Black Caucus pulled the Selma card and chose to walk through the crowd in the hopes of creating a YouTube incident.

There is no reason in 21st century America on an issue that is not a black or white or a civil rights issue to have a bloc of black people walk slowly through a mostly white crowd to make a racial point. The walk in and of itself — with two of the participants holding their handheld cameras above their heads hoping to document “proof” — was an act of racism meant to create a contrast between the tea party crowd and themselves.

This is the same failed symbolism that Janeane Garofalo and MSNBC have been trying to implant for the last year. The only supposed evidence of white-on-black racism at a tea party that MSNBC was able to find was a man carrying a gun at an Arizona Obama rally. But, wait, MSNBC cut off the man’s head with a photo editing software. That Second Amendment fan was actually black. Never mind.

Hmm, California huh. You don't say.

I don't give a shit what happened to him in prison. Good riddance.

Yep. The earth is cyclical. Just the way things are. Non of this global warming BS.

I wouldn't have bought a piece of crap like that in the first place.

So i am told this is why he wrote that check...

ha ha ha ha ha

Oh...my....gosh. That was awesome, but sad. Very very sad. I have verizon. lol

When I first started driving my tercel, I kept hitting the brake at the same time I tried to hit the clutch. Wasn't used to the pedal placement. Know what I did? I learning where the damn pedals were at!!! Damn people are stupid.
