Lay down with oil companies you catch spills. Florida should be okay eff Lousiana, Missisippi , and Alabama (because they still want to drill, Florida doesn't want that crap around them).

Looks like you started drinking early today.

How can you tell when he stops?

So, from a quote in firstdown's article:

Ironically, the ship was originally built as a supertanker for oil. But soon afterward, the BP oil spill began off the Louisiana coast, and Su saw an opportunity.

It seems like this would be an excellent example of private innovation supported by government limiting it's interference to allow for a response to an emergency. I guess what I would see making sense is allowing this thing to run trials on the actual spill area, and pass its certifications while accomplishing the main task. I don't know the whole plan, but if it works it would be a major tool in this type of disaster...

FD or anyone who lives on the water inour area or has gone to ocean city this weekend.

My cousin was at OC this weekend, he said the fishing and marine life was astounding. He said for as far as the eye could see it was full of whiting fish. he said there were guys catching 5-6 foot sharks one after another, he said there were whales no more than 150 yds from shore, etc.

just wondering if all the marine life are migrators from the florida waters.

the way he made it seem, it sounded like a stampede/parade of marine life making its way up north.

[firstdown]

Well I was in Nags Head NC and I did not notice any rush of marine life. I will have to say that I even commented to my wife that the water was as clear as I ever recall over 30 yrs or more of going to this beach and she agreed. Fish do migrate but most do not go much further the SC in their migration. Not sure about the whales migration. I do keep up with the fishing in our area and I have not heard of anything unusual about the fishing season.

Yall funny yall think this is Katrina. I don't see American citizens standing in waist deep water for 4 days with helicopters flying around not picking them up or dropping food? Do you? I don't hear about the leader of FEMA "Brownie boy" resume highlight he led a horse raising farm, worrying aobut a press conference and excited he is gonna be on TV while people are drowning. Do you? Idiots, the longer it lasts and longer yall talk the quicker it's gonna get put on the GOP.

[firstdown]

Yea all those helicopters just flew around looking at stuff. Also if the water was only waist deep why were people drowing?

[joethiesmanfan]

I'm talking 4 days after the fact this was going on. Yes they were flying around looking taking pictures not picking people up. Worrying about looting but not bringing food until a week opr two later. These were live picutes of an American city under water. Millitary people asked to go. You prolly wasn't that concerned with Katrina I watched it all. You only concerned about Bush's reputation after over 1500 americans drowned. Oops you might be from the Michelle Bachman school, they might not have been real Americans. This spill is what happens when coporations write their own rules. They put profit before the lively hood of millions of people at risk for profits when the victims have nothing to gain from these same profits. All risk no reward. Is that capitalism?

So your on what your 3rd six pack of PBR or do you drink the good stuff Natural Light. Why do you keep bringing up Katrina. I'm guessing its because you know Obama has screwed this up so you want to point out what Bush screwed up to take attention away from Obama.

Because you tryna follow the party strategy which is another so called waterloo. what about unemployment checks and apologizing to bp. what about picking on hispanic looking people. what about the arizona ranchers mad cause the drug cartels stopped paying them? They weren't complaining before. nothing changed on the Mexican border in the last 100 years. dumb strategies by GOP.
