Now... let’s rehearse something from my earlier post #119 above:

[Excerpted]:

A common refrain among experts and officials is that every oil spill is unique.

Larry McKinney, director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said the Deepwater Horizon spill reminds him of the last catastrophic oil flood in the Gulf.

In 1979, Mexico’s Ixtoc I in the western Gulf blew out and spewed about 420,000 gallons of oil a day for nine months. Large quantities of oil did not reach Texas beaches.

“This was a problem we ran into with Ixtoc, we never found the oil,” McKinney said.

“Those idiots at CNN found an obamabot park official at the Dry Tortugas 0 miles west of Key West who claims he has tar balls floating in. Hardly news,happens all the time...” ~ rodguy911

What most people don’t realize is that “tar balls” keep floating up from sunken WWII German subs.
