Re: How can I help in the Gulf?
Good luck if you go. BP has made it clear that they want no help and the National Guard is working for them and if you're out at night bring an umbrella because they're using helicopters to spray dispersants in the dark over the barges etc that are helping to clean up. BP wants the oil to get all ov...

Re: The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
So...it's quite clear isn't it, that BP is run by morons, that Tony Hayward is a moron, that Doug Suttles is a moron that doesn't care, that it's all just a bunch of morons...
...or is that too insensitive or not PC enough or whatever the problem was? Not enough oil spewing into the Gulf?

Re: BP shuts down Jimmy Buffett and Dragonfly Boatworks efforts
There's got to be a way to get people to understand that BP does not own the Gulf Of Mexico or the beaches or anything else. For some reason people are being bullied by something that has no grounds at all to be more of a bully then the already have been pollution wise.

Re: Gulf Coast Concert, no real relief for the Gulf.
Good grief, what a joke. Go ahead and bicker about this show that is going to cause a lot of pollution on its own as it is (for those of you that go, look at all the recyclable things that will be thrown away and tossed on the beach/roads/etc. I'm sure the local businesses will appreciate it financi...

It's going to be hell getting there no matter which way one goes. I considered going, for about ten seconds, then said FORGET THAT. 35,000? Right! More like a million!

It's free right? So that means anyone can go. That's what 'free' means.
Right?

Re: BP shuts down Jimmy Buffett and Dragonfly Boatworks efforts
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised at all. BP refusing along with not allowing help is their MO. How they can determine who does what in US waters is beyond me. That is our US government at work. And as it has been pointed out, Obama and everyone else in the government that has the power to change thi...

Re: The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
So supposedly it's up to 60,000 barrels a day (probably way more). I'm thinking more around 100,000 barrels a day.
Do I read a 150,000?

I thought it was in this thread but I'm drawing a blank. The term Jimmy used when talking about...adriatic cooling? Something along those lines.

Hogwash. It can only blow oil laiden water from the sea onto land, not make it rain oil and rain.

Re: The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
It keeps getting worse. 20,000 to 40,000 maybe more barrels a day before they cut the top off. Of course, this is just updated info of what was coming out but it helps to explain the plumes that don't exist and why almost one quarter of the Gulf is now covered in and full of oil and gas: http://www....

Some Not Happy With Jimmy About Oil Leak
Q: Since when is Jimmy Buffet not on the side of the environment? A: Since he built a mega-hotel in Pensacola and needed to downplay the oil disaster. Jimmy's comment -- "this will pass" -- regarding the oil disaster's ruination of the Gulf Coast beaches is insulting and hypocritical. Spea...

Re: NHL 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Hawks gonna pound on Pronger and the Flyers tomorrow night? Very possible the Blackhawks will be hoisting the Cup in Philly! At least in Philly we don't have to hear that horrible The Fratellis "Chelsea Dagger" song after every goal.

Re: The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
I posted this link in the oil in Alabama thread but thought I'd include it here. Since there are two leaks, this thread should now be called The Oil Leaks In The Gulf Of Mexico:
