Strong oil fumes on Southeast LA Coast and Northshore, speculation its from burning the spill.

Must be pretty powerful stuff to overcome the usual stench of urine.
Smells like another lawsuit by the N’Awlins crowd to me! They’re in the money! (Again!)
We’re on the west coast of Florida, and when the wind is out of the west, you can smell the fuel odor. It’s been called the “mystery smell” in the papers, but they’ve pretty much concluded it’s from the oil slick.

I’ve just read five articles from major newspapers about the “oil spill” and NOT ONE of them mentioned the EXPLOSION that caused it and killed the workers there. They repeatedly referred to it a simple OIL SPILL with a BIG CORPORATION as the devil. Sound familiar?
Dare anyone suggest that the Iran/Venezuela/Russia/Cuba/China Al Qaeda AXIS OF EVIL may be behind a terrorist attack on a British/US oil rig ?
How terribly convenient that it occur just after the O administration claimed they would “allow” for more drilling there.
Just how neatly an environmental disaster plays into O’s hands. Cuba/Venezuela/China drill in the Gulf of Mexico with immunity and impunity and WITHOUT the excessive restrictions US Marxist/Enviros put on Western interests.
Is it also no secret that BRITISH PETROLEUM is now in Iraq http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9031482&contentId=7057672 and still (to the best of my knowledge) joined with US in boycott of Iranian oil. A perfect target for terror and another possible hit on our home turf.
Folks, look up from the keyboard, put down the X-Box, turn off Idol, Stars, and 24 hour sports coverage. It is MUCH later than we think. What will it take
to get Americans to STOP PRETENDING we not are under attack from all sides?
Even the “Tea Parties” have allowed themselves to be reduced by the recreant media to an “angry anti-tax movement”. It is a great movement without a leader and without a strong, well crafted, unified message. WISE THE HELL UP. We are not anti-government we are anti-Marxist government.
I cannot repeat it too many times, our national sovereignty is under constant attack from our open borders to the UN and the so called “International Courts”.
GET THIS AND GET IT NOW, if we have not sovereignty that means we DO NOT HAVE A SOVEREIGN CONSTITUTION!
No they’re not. If the seafood industry is decimated it will kill a lot of the businesses that are dependent on it.
Katrina! Katrina! Obama’s Katrina is coming!
Maybe Chuck Berry could write another hit song yet! LOL
Sorry for the Old Folk’s Joke.
I am asking myself, is there not a way to collect the oil on top of and seperate it from the water?
I know there are waves in the ocean, but there are some terrifically ingenius people.
The slick ain’t covering the entire friggin’ Gulf.
This isn’t the first time we’ve had Oil on the Water, and it won’t be the last time.
The Industry will survive cause Gulf Coast people are tough. Hard times yes, but news flash most of us can’t afford shrimp, fish or oysters as it is, and there wasn’t any slick to worry about then.
seafood isn’t that expensive. It isn’t like raw diamonds are hidden in the oysters
All caps conspiracy thinking aside I’m pretty sure this came from drilling deep and letting pressure build up and failing to notice it. I think BP’s execs had a bigger hand in this than any “Axis of Evil” members.
I’ve seen large shrimp at 10.00 a pound.
And this was way before the oil spill.
