If Bill Clinton wants to blow something up, send him a Juicy Lucy blow Up doll.

Clinton’s a nut.

I washed mud (paleontology lab) in New Orleans in summers while in high school. I never saw dinosaur bones. I did however see little plankton like thingys. Still, I believe that oil is being produced from things other than dead stuff.

WOW, I feel so much better. Even thought you provide no links, no evidence by anyone that matters. The truth is YOU don’t know this and neither does anyone else, including BP.

Its the only kind there is.

It has to be said. Thanks. It isn’t dead dinosaurs, folks.

At the risk of sounding really stupid, I seem to remember way back in school being taught that tar/Oil deposits in the ground = dinosaurs+pressure+time.

What is it if not that?

Against Federal Advice Pensacola Beach Opens; Over 400 people sick

So far, 400 people have sought medical care for upper or lower respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, and eye irritation after trips to Escambia County beaches, Lanza said.

By 10 a.m. on Friday, the double red flags prohibiting beachgoers from the water were replaced with yellow flags.“We’re flying the yellow flags. And that means you need to be careful where you step,” Lee said. “Just be careful and have a good time.”

But oil chips, tar balls and submerged oil slicks and the odor of petroleum still were present.

And people complained about getting a petroleum jelly-like substance on them from sand that was tainted brown.Swimmers who did venture into the water questioned whether it was really safe to wade, swim and play in the Gulf, especially when they had to walk through a line of tar balls and stay clear of skimmers scooping up oil just 25 and 50 feet from the shore.

“I only went into the water up to my ankles. That’s as far as I wanted to go,” said Joe Chambers, 28, of West Pensacola as he scrubbed off oily residue from himself and his son, Ethan, 4, in the public showers at Casino Beach. “It doesn’t smell like the beach. It smells like a gas station. There are no fish in the water. There’s nothing alive in the water. I don’t know how public officials can just look at the water and make a call to reopen it for swimming.”

Carol Doster of Grand Isle, Miss., said her son Dallas, 12, was frightened by the oil that streaked his legs and arms after a five-minute swim in the Gulf on Friday. “It won’t rub off,” Doster said.

She said the two were not going to get in the water again.

Lanza said the health department did not test the water or sand samples before lifting the health advisory.

He did send out health department employees to look at the water before they covered up the health advisory signs.

Increase In Leaning BOP By Up To 1.5 Degress Confirms BP Gulf Oil Spill BOP Is Falling Over

(note) They are saying the same thing at the Oil Drum

I originally wrote that the subsea bullseye measurements taken on June 10th indicated that the BP Gulf Oil Spill BOP was leaning 3 degrees.

The original reading of a little under 3 degrees was confirmed by the manufacturer of the subsea bullseye.

Since then there has been a great deal of speculation that the lean of the BOP could mean the that BOP is falling over.

That speculation went viral and even made mainstream media news reports.

But the speculation couldn’t be confirmed because there where no past reading to compare the lean to.

Now there is.

The latest bullseye reading taken today show that title the leaning oil well has increased by up to 1.5 degrees and appears to confirm that the BP Gulf Oil Spill BOP is indeed falling over.

Today a reader of my blog posted a clear video of an updated bullseye reading.
June 28th Subsea Bullseye Reading Shows Lean of over 4 degrees – An Increase Of Up To 1.5 Degrees Since June 10th

Yes it is. I look at it as being like a live version of an old sci-fi radio show. I don’t believe anything they say, but it’s fun and spooky driving at night.

AND ... if there's "one thing I know about FreeRepublic" -- it's that you certainly will get a lot of posters who will say that just about anything you want to post is "BS"

Oh, BS.

I like it but I see it as entertainment and not a place to get solid science.

Read ‘Deep Hot Biosphere’ by Gold. Essentially, methane, emanating from the earth’s core is digested by microbes. They poop out oil.

“How much of this article is BS and how much is true?”

WHY WASTE TIME GUESSING? Ignore the whole thing, move on.

I say hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I have read the doomsday speculations of the magnitude of what could happen if square miles of super compressed methane gas or a mixture of hydrogen sulfide was suddenly burst and came to the ocean surface and the size of such a cloud coming ashore.

And in all honesty with absolute no trust in what I hear and just going on my instincts I would get away from the area, like two states away. And the talk of nuking it sounds like the worst solution,and with the talk from Clinton its sounding like grabbing a fire extinguisher to put out a fire on a victim but its pepper spray instead.

And here is a shocker, what if Iran was able to sneak in a fission device that was pressure protected and let it sink to the nearby area and it did detonate? At the wrong place it could create an even worse problem, a potential problem that cannot be fixed, not until it drains itself.

Currently the “testimony” by survivors is that the Transocean guy informed the BP guy in the middle of a heated discussion.

Who is Michael Webster? This reads like something written by a bright eight year old, it is riddled with absurd errors. It would have received an F in any high school writing class in any public school fifty years ago and should never have been put forward as the work of an adult “investigative reporter”.

As to the validity of whatever he is trying to say I make no judgment until this word salad can be deciphered.

I thought the Jones act was what AlGore was doing with the masseuse to try to get his mind off the unmasking of his huge hoax.
