#1 So does this imply that the environmentally safest place to drill is in very deep water? And wouldn't that be where the Obama folks have tried to outlaw future drilling? My guess is that we won't be hearing much about this from the mainstream media.

#2 Nothing to see here (as predicted). The evil BP company has it all well under control and Obama is leveraging fear to punish 25,000 conservative, Gulf Coast oil workers and countless related businesses.

#3 In other words Nature isn't nearly as delicate as some would like us to believe.

the LSM will kill this story as quick as they can and the God-King will try to take the credit.

#4 Yokay, I'll bite, didn't Perts on the MSM-Net repor that up to 22 miles of slowly dissipating oil plumes may be lurking near the sea floor, + that the same is still OIL-THATS-THERE-BUT-JUST-DOESN'T-LOOK-OR-FEEL-ETC.-LIKE-OIL???

#5 I'm just curious what the metabolites are from the microbes that biodegraded the oil. I betcha my gulf coast is someday gonna have one big fart that will send a plume of methane over the coastal states. One tiny spark and New Orleans goes up in flames.

#6 I predict the toxic release will occur in the winter months Tex, and that tens of thousands of migratory Snowbirds will be slain. I recommend we begin blaming Bush immediately.
