“If you do decide on the tinfoil hat, just remember it makes a hell of a lot of noise when you’re trying to sleep.”

Obviously you forgot to wear your tinfoil earplugs. Now Karl Rove controls your brain through his subaudio subliminal message beam.

SWAT is used in our cities in what capacity?

Suggests something suspicious has been going on out in the ocean.

The choice of who they send to handle a problem doesn’t in my opinion create a better reason to control or close these drilling platforms down. I agree though that Obamy is capable of other intentions behind almost any actions he takes.

My "thumbs down" comment at YouTube:

PLLLeeeezzee ... what a joke. Yep that's Corexit, just about as scientific as you can get ... geez a bunch of kids in a boat are now the new face of the IPCC. If they knew anything about Corexit, they'd know they wouldn't see it, especially in "powder" form. My guess is these kids threw a box of tide in the water and ran over it with a boat. That would give about that size footprint account for the "powder". No? Prove me wrong! I'll prove I'm right, read: http://tinyurl.com/28jg6ru Its BS ...

...and if you "fall" for it, then you'd fall more easily for global warming. By the way, how's that Hope and Changey thing working for you over there?

My husband, a Phd scientist, also suggested that this second rig was blown up! He is SO not a tinfoil hat guy (as compared to me...).
