The Spill - 100,000 barrels a day?

Published on June 20, 2010 By Anthony R In Current Events

The spill was at first a 'relative trickle' according to Douche-bag extraordinaire Tony 'I want my life back' Hayworth' then it was 1,000 bpd and then 5,000. Now they are estimating 100,000 barrels a day in a 'worst case scenario'. The Exxon Valdez disaster spilled an estimated 257,000 barrels of oil, so that would make the Deepwater Horizon an Exxon Valdez every other day. Stunning.

Yeah BP really dropped the ball on this one which is sad because the gulf, especially Louisiana, is still trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina and now this disaster is just another slap in the face...

The numbers render the words "spill" and "leak" obsolete. This is a full fledged blowout! I call it "THE GUSHER IN THE GULF". I blame the whole mess on BP for taking short cuts and the U.S. government for letting them slide.

The issue is moot. The action seems to be obvious to everyone except the administration and BP. Cap the sucker. BP has hesitated to shut it down for fear of losing the investment (having to start over). Given they just forked over $20b with no top side in sight, I think that was a foolish decision. It is time to cap the sucker and start over. And get the idiots from Obama out of the way.

Cap the sucker.

Can they actually do it? Is it possible? Do they have the knowhow? Or is this a lesson in humility?

Have they unleashed something that must run its course?
