I’m not convinced that I’m not looking at a loop. I thought that on CNN, and now I’m looking at the other site.

Drudge says they are now using golf-balls. Doesn’t look good.

If anything the flow may be a little less than earlier today. It's hard to tell. It doesn't look as dense and the area seems smaller. This shot is from about 11:35 PM Friday.

I haven’t been able to keep up today. Do they feel like they’re having some success?

LMRP = Lower Marine Riser Package

Now, what the hell THAT means, or why it is significant (if indeed it is), I couldn’t tell you.
...And obviously, neither can this “blogger” or anybody else.

It appears there are two... distinct spills--

As this is not the same as the one... I posted earlier on another thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2523021/posts?page=16)

MY PATENTED OIL SPILL SOLUTION;

PHASE 1) BLAST SHEETS OF SCREEN MESH INTO THE HOLE. - IT FILTERS THE PRESSURE, PREVENTS ANY IMPACT DAMAGE AND WILL NOT EASILY BLAST OUT OF THE HOLES PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR PHASE 2.

PHASE 2) BLAST IN SHAM WOW TOWELS. THIS IS A STURDY MATERIAL AND WILL ALSO FILTER & SLOW THE PRESSURE AND AS THE SHEETS ACCUMULATE TOWARDS THE HOLES IT ALSO PREVENTS IMPACT DAMAGE.

PHASE 3) BLAST IN THE TOP KILL MIXED WITH HUMAN AND HORSE HAIR. JUST LIKE CLOGGING A DRAIN THE HAIR DOES IT’S JOB HOLDING THE MUD TOGETHER ALLOWING IT TO HARDEN.

I don’t know what these guys are thinking stuffing golf balls down there. Why don’t they just use rip rap!

Meanwhile,,,,,,

Petrobras of Brazil just announced, today, that ir will expand ultra deep ocean drilling and start drilling in 7,000 feet of water in the Black Sea.

Petrobras was granted a US-Taxpayer guaranteed $ 10 billion loan FOR THE PURPOSE of funding deep drilling by a decision of OBAMA in August 2009.

at this very moment, they’re manipulating that crimped riser something fierce. like a dog shaking a chew toy.

Checking now Saturday, 6:45 AM EDT, and it looks like oil coming out now. Apparently didn’t work.

Yep.

Stopping this thing should not be a political issue.

i guess the only thing left to do is send a shuttle mission, better make it two so that there is double the chance of success, to the source of the leak. armed with nucular warheads, they drill into the bottom of the sea bed for about a mile and lower the nuke into it and detonate it. splitting the asteroid, er, oil leak, into smaller, more manageable leaks. brue willis can lead one expedition and matt damon’s broverly sidekick the other.
