CNN, August 17, 2010 at 6:05 a.m. EDT:

The "news is not good"...

Chemical mix of oil and dispersant said to be highly toxic...

First time scientists have found such high levels of toxicity...

On seafloor, oil will not break down for a much longer time and will contaminate the area for a much longer time.

2. So that's where the 75% of the so-called raptured oil went.

Gabriel called the oil home by blowing through a tailpipe.

14. Raptured Oil. I have never heard that term.
Brilliant! :rofl: I suppose that it is so true that the hard core right does believe that oil goes to heaven. In fact, if you follow their thinking far enough, the oil is more important than the people, so it would make sense that oil would go directly to heaven in the Rapture instead of people in their minds.

7. Really bad luck for Obama
Obama was just there in Panama City saying how clean it is. Two days later plumes of oil are just 40 miles away.

Is someone intentionally sabotaging the President? Who's big idea was it to have Obama put his foot in his mouth, while Petraeus is on news shows doing an end run to stay in Afghanistan longer?

11. Good questions... makes me think of others...
Such as... if Obama had insisted that "the official story" didn't sound right, and that further investigation were in order, would we be seeing this news story right now? Probably not, methinks.

Now that Afghanistan "suddenly" has oil, part two of your post makes a lot of sickening sense.

Jeebus help us.

13. On MSNBC's "First Look" this morning (Tues) they
said that cleaning boats were finding oil after BP said the oil was gone. They were told to not report it and alter their logs to say they were just picking up booms. Why didn't the Coast Guard spot this oil? Maybe a better question is: Why didn't they report the oil, unless they were taking orders from BP, too? It was a rhetorical question, no need for an answer.

16. BP Should Have Cleaned This Up
BP gets away scot-free, leaves us to deal with their mess.
But we have to endure their stupid ads on Youtube!
