BP spills

They ARE fucked, for sure,.....too bad it's our .gov responsible for it....oh well....

The thing with the ping pong ball made me laugh the most.

Come to think of it, it's amazing that they haven't tried throwing ping pong balls at it.
 
Keven C. has just recruited 25 GO GO girls from Patpong to assist in the ping pong shooting operation in the golf of mexico. :clap:
 
Would not have been there in the first place if not for the green weenies....

Actually it's not just BP, The Obama "regime" has a lot to do with it also. The Dutch offered to send their cleanup vessels a couple days after the initial disaster, your government turned it down. Same as w/ the levees in Nawlins...maybe it's arrogance that the big "US" doesn't want to accept the help of our little country. I can assure you, those vessels would have helped quite a bit with preventing oil spills from reaching the shores.

Back in the early 80's , that small security company also had another little gimmic they made....we called it a VORTEX machine....I suspect the industry calls it a 'skimmer'.....we made a floating platform with paddles on a shaft, kind of like a propeller in a way, except the blades were vertical in the water, the idea was to spin that huge paddle setup with a very large electric motor, I used to build the control box, a basic bomb proof/blow proof box for the contactors and control electronics, we had a patent on the machine for US waters, BUT, Don, the M/E in charge of the project said it was not used in the USA because it was against UNION RULES....and the only ones we made were shipped overseas, like to Indonesia....

SO, I suspect that is still the reason today ....something about the Jones? act and typical .gov crap....

on ALL the TV coverage I have watched on this mess I have caught ONE very quick glimpse of a machine that resembled what I built....

how it worked was to create a whirlpool affect and a vortex in the middle, into which we inserted a pipe to pump the oil out of the center, it would very effectively separate oil and water by centrifuge effect....

I would think in a couple weeks some boats and some 'skimmers' like the design I worked on could have been built and the joint flooded with them, NO excuse to not do it....

Now they are using wet vacs from Homey Depot in the marshes. Said they could suck up 5 gal of oil in a couple minutes.

New approach, some action better than none.
 
The collective stupidity of this shituation just staggers my mind,

goes from the Nobam on down the list, seems like every decision made has added up the this amazing cluster fuck....

Didn't know that , would love to hear the details on the offer to send.
 

The Obama administration declined the Dutch offer partly because of the Jones Act, which restricts foreign ships from certain activities in U.S. waters. During the Hurricane Katrina crisis five years ago, the Bush administration waived the Jones Act in order to facilitate some foreign assistance, but such a waiver was not given in this case.

BP seems to have found a small loophole in the bullshit regs.....

seems they signed with Kevin Costner, the actor, (I dunno he is a green weenie or not)....to provide CENTRIFUGES to clean up the water....

Vortex, skimmer, CENTRIFUGE, Costner beying famous can get away from paying UNION wages....

effi'n poly ticks....

Don't say "my" government. I don't claim any connection with the current occupier of the White House. Hell, there's been a lot of people bashing that idiot for turning it down.
As for me, whenever I come across a problem, I ask myself what Chairman Obama would do. Then I do exactly the opposite. 99 times out of 100, it's the right move.

This kind of garbage (Expletive deleted) frustrates me to no end. Common sense says you have a major problem that is getting worse every second. Each moment you delay, every bit of assistance you refuse will cost you dearly. WTF else do you need to know? Enlist every bit of assistance that you can without further delay. Enough lip service! And to Hell with the politics, this job needs to get done.

Obama is on the TV right now - talking instead of acting.....more lip service.
 
I Wish I Was Tony.....

That dumbass senator? whoever is doing the typical lawyer/liar inquisition of the BP prez.......

and that dumb assed political type has been spared what I would have done to him on the stand there......

the nitwit was WIDE OPEN to me tearing him a new ass.....and Tony dropped the ball, a good exec I suspect, but not a hardball enough fighter....

BE ME PEE......I would lay waste to the fed.gov on the whole thing, in my opening statements.....they would have to shut down the hearing as the entire world guffawed ......

dead serious.....


:eek::smash: I don't play kind with them crooked lawyers....
