| I think Russia said using a nuclear bomb was 80% chance effective. Seems like with those odds it'd be one of the first things to try. |

| Thats actually not an oil-induced dead dolphin, it's been dead for too long. We had the director or vet. medicine from the Georgia Aquarium on the other day and he said it was probably a natural death just based on how rotted it is. |

We already are laughing at your over-abundance of fatties, wiggers and general all round lack of taste. But to be fair, this is entirely BP's fault. |

Although let's face it - there are hundreds of dolphins that have died and sunk to the bottom of the Gulf already. There is no way to ever know how much BP has ed up. How do you put a price on something you can't see? |

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has called for BP to immediately invest $1B in protection projects
"The failure of the Top Kill procedure to cap the well is a devastating blow to the Gulf Coast. I call on BP to immediately invest $1 billion to protect marshes, wetlands and estuaries across the region. Half of that money should go to short-term projects that can bolster the protection of the Louisiana coast within the next 30-90 days. The other half can be divided up among Gulf Coast states based on the immediate threat posed by oil spewing from the well." |

I was already considering all other things implied, but thank for emphasizing how terrible our country is, as usual. |

Grand Isle was "invaded by an army of temp workers to spruce it up for the president and the national news crews following in his wake."
How temporary were these workers? As it turns out, pretty damn temporary!
"The level of cleanup and cooperation we've gotten from BP in the past is in no way consistent to the effort shown on the island today," Roberts said by telephone. "As soon as the president left, they were immediately put back on the buses and sent home."

Try not to take her criticisms too harshly- most things pale in comparison to life in Hobbiton. |
