We will have to endure the pollution of the airways by endless commercials aired by law firms trolling for new “class action” clients whose “lives were destroyed by the negligence & horror of the BP oil leak”.
These bottom feeder lawyers ads will be around long after all of the oil has been reclaimed, recovered, evaporated, eaten by bacteria, etc.
If I were a “good old boy” with a trawler in the Gulf, I’d be out with a boom, a big centrifugal pump and a garbage scow barge just raking in all that black gold. Then I’d send FEMA & BP bills for expenses of the cleanup effort (hey, someone might pay up :-) ).
Finally, I’d sell the oil, laughing all the way to the bank.
I believe it is Kevin Costner that has an oil cleanup invention that cleans sea water -
but they can’t get the OK from the gov’t to do it.
