What if this time the fan hits the shit?

[Hubert Flottz]

What if a tropical storm comes crashing into the oil slick? Anyone who was crazy enough to believe that this oil was going to stay off shore needs to go to the nearest nut house and turn himself in. Bobby Jindal didn't think a couple of weeks ago that this oil was going to make it to land and cause a disaster? How stupid is he? He acts like he's surprised at the outcome.

Now factor in hurricane season and the outcome could be the same as what we are seeing in the gulf coast states hundreds of miles away from ground zero. Places like the Caribbean islands, Miami Beach, Jupiter Island, Palm Beach, Myrtle Beach, the Outer Banks, the Chesapeake Bay, Long Island, Martha's Vinyard...

This is a freakin' nightmare.

1. I listened to Gov. Jindal on the radio. If he actually has booms

and the means to set up sand berms, what's he been doing for the last month?

2. They have to get permission form the Corps of Eng to do anything down there

Remember the COE had approve any changes for the levy's and such before Katrina..

3. it would stop all clean up operations and anything progressing on the stoppage

they are lucky right now to be dealing with this in the weather they currently have - if you can consider circumstances 'lucky' by any measure

4. Right now, the only potential for tropical cyclone activity is a 30% chance

way east of the Eastern seaboard.

That ought to be pretty much it for the next couple of weeks, then hold on tight because anything could happen after that.

5. We were blocked by the US Army Corps of Engineers from doing this.

They have fucked over New Orleans and SE Louisiana once again, maybe for the last time.

6. The good old US Army Corps of Engineers

The same US Army Corps of Engineers that thinks this is a good idea...

7. What the hell is that?

[Canuckistanian]

8. Yeah, I'd like to know, too

That looks pretty devastating.

9. Looks like mountaintop removal

in West Virginia, I would guess.

11. That's what the "Friends Of Coal" call progress!

10. Ain't no oil "slick"

More like the Buzzing Parasites tapped one of the bile ducts within the Earth, and it is now spewing liquid death into the stomach of the Gulf. Obviously no one knows if or when it can be stopped, if ever. If these massive oil blobs manage to wind their way around into the Atlantic, in several years time there could be little to no animal life whatsoever that will or could still survive within 300 miles of the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast.

12. It is sad to watch.

The next generation will be in one hell of a mess.
