^^^ Was just coming to post that. "Did we say 42,000 gallons/day? We meant 210,000 gallons per day. Our bad."
Spill baby spill

The license plates in Louseyana say "sportsmans paradise" on them.
I'm thinking "polluters paradise" might be more applicable
The whole gulfcoast region relies on fresh seafood to keep all the choice eateries full of tourists and people with jobs. Its a really big industry so yeah, we are pretty nervous about all the bad info coming out.
The gallons spilled per day has jumped exponentially ..............

and if by exponentional you mean 42,000^1.4305992978, then yes, its exponential

Dont try calling me out for fuzzy math!
I think exponential is a fair term b\c we now have more leaks at a higher volume and with the time frame to cap this stuff there's gonna be so much oil around that exact mathmatical equations will not even matter
sorry man i couldn't control my inner math nerd
Okay so i'm renting an empty tanker truck to go down and scoop up as much free earl as possible . Then go home and process it into diesel for the ol Ford.
Anybody else want some?
Free oil friday

Heh...yeah, until some drunk zillionaire rams his 125' Chris Craft into it...
"Will the senator from Nantucket please remove himself from the floor..."
Do they have any kind of plan to stop the leaking or are they just going to wait until the earth is empty?
Exactly what I was wondering.
See asphalt volcano.
so they're going to pave the gulf of mexico?
I'm wondering how long it's going to take a video like this (maybe not this one, but something similar) to get ~500k hits...

and although it has NO relation to the Gulf oil spill, I thought this was done really, really well.

When I lived in Santa Barbara those damn tarballs would get on/in every thing. I kept a stainless steel BBQ brush in the shower because that was the only way to get that isht off your feet. God Forbid the crap somehow found its way inside your wet suit or shorts.
I'll let your imagination run wild on that.
Why did this have to happen where the **** ends up on my beaches? 
I heard something on NPR about them lowering a huge fabric tent over the whole thing, at 5,000 feet deep?
Then I heard some others are going to tap into the well elsewhere and drain it, but it will take months.
Here it comes, enjoy!
Looks like we are going to be leaking about 250,000 gallons\day for 2 maybe 3 months till its shut off down deep. AND!!! The local radio guys have uncovered that BP looks to have saved $500,000 on a safty cut off valve on the Horizon deepwater rig that costs hundreds of millions

Republifundies are trying to pin the blame on Obama already...

Because YOU (Floridians in general) wanted it.Why did this have to happen where the **** ends up on my beaches?
Congratulations, here's your sh!t sandwich.
Looks like we can pretty much write of the Gulf Coast for the next 100 years.Looks like we are going to be leaking about 250,000 gallons\day for 2 maybe 3 months till its shut off down deep. AND!!!

On the bright side, all the money that BP will have to pay in mitigation could mean some job security for those of us working with the environment.
just like 3 mile island didn't absolutely dissuade me from being pro-nuke energy, nor does this. i believe if we are going to consume oil (and we are), we should not depend on foreign sources.
naturally, this event should be reviewed & its causes appropriately addressed. to put an embargo - see what i did there? - on drilling is overreacting

Yeah i hear ya but front page of the WallStreet Journal today is an article on how BP elected to NOT have a remote acoustic switch
The stakes are so high...
Anyhoo, the scale of damage and the inability to deal with the leak at that depth is no doubt going to end up with lots of new regs for the industry.
No idea on what to do now?
Remind me again what the terrible repercussions of three mile island were?
I agree, but only in as much as these issues are decided in our rational mind. I think a great deal of this issue on both sides of the aisle is emotional/religious: the left in nature worship, the right in bible-thumping "the world is for man's enjoyment so **** you"
It just points out the need for, gasp, regulation.
COMMUNIST!!!!it just points out the need for, gasp, regulation.
(stupid all-caps requirement)
it gave the 3-boobed chick some work in total recall. also b/c of this spill, that shamwow guy can keep his gig running for a few more years. should help him make bail when he starts slappin around cajun hookers
i think the right's desire is more from a pro-business or pro-capitalism pov.
if we start seeing them sop it up w/ a koran, however, you could be right
****ing stupid old people.
