That they felt obgligated to state they wouldn’t, ya know, be nuking the spewing well and surroundings shows how batshit insane the public discourse is.

“What could possibly go wrong?”

I was curious where they thought we’d be coming up with the Zuper Zpecial saltwaterproof nuke that would fit inside a borehole, until I remembered we have new-cue-lar torpedoes. Finally, a chance to try one out!

Theoretically, you’re supposed to bore down at an angle to the existing drill-path and seat the bomb package somewhere midway between the oil reservoir and the seabed.

Then, you wait until Obi-Wan disables the tractor-beam on the Death Star. Then you trigger the bomb and create a leaking oil well the size of the Holland Tunnel.

Aha! That’s because the sassenfrassen corporate junkies want to keep their wonderful oil well intact so they can suck up the luscious earthly fluids and horde them, my precioussss.

I paraphrase somewhat, but I guarantee you’ll find that reaction.

That’s not fair, Brit. They’d still get the oil.

They’d just get it all at once.

p.s. Here’s a totally bitchin’ collection of rovercams all on one page.

First time I’ve seen the dispersant squirting into the oil stream.

Indeed. Normally, that’s only available on Spectravision, and it’s charged to your room.

Given the entry of “junkshots” etc. into the mainstream lexicon, the amount of quasi-sexual imagery associated with all this is redolant of a Republican convention on viagra.

I may regret the way this thread goes from here on in, so just ignore me.

Brit, this is getting downright spooky. I thought I killed my Doppelgänger at a truck stop in Barstow.

Dirty minds think alike?

I’m just sorta glad Benny Hill’s dead.

Ditto here. But we gave Europe Jerry Lewis, so we’re square.

Oh, yeah—you can pretty much imagine what a field day the FoxNews All-Stars would have if Obama accidentally released a 100-ton flying plush-toy with a hard-on for patio lights.

As long as you can tame it with the singing of twin eight inch tall Japanese women, we’re golden.

When do we start hearing, “Obama isn’t doing everything possible…”

I fully expect Krauthammer to complain that Obama could have stopped it, but since he;s to scared to even use nukes on a oil well how can you expect him to keep us safe from [bogeyman of the week].
