Somebody's talking sense...:

"The government should immediately freeze BP's assets and start to charge the corporation -- say $100 million -- each day the oil flows. The money could be held in a fund that U.S. government draws on to take care of the people along the Gulf Coast and pay the states for doing the cleanup." (Lt. Gen .Russell Honor=E9)

There are companies that convert trash of all kinds - turkey/chickens... into minerals and useful stuff. Small R&D companies finally thinking...

Why not set one up to slurp this stuff up and out - still out the good and sort out the bad.

Kinda neat company idea. Take garbage and waste of all kinds and distill=

out all sorts of stuff. Carbon black was only one element that came.

All of this junk grass we cut and dry on the fields - why not bail it and=

soak up the crap - that would be easy to burn and stuff.

Just no idea men in the Government. Martin

This really isn't a bit funnier than the bullshit jokes Letterman is telling at the Gulf coast's expense.

If the hurricane wasn't enough now we have oil and smartasses.

Letterman is another example of somebody who hasn't got a clue how serious this is. That spill isn't plugged yet either.

Kevin Costner has patented some centrifudge device that's supposed to separate oil from water quickly in vast quantity.

------------------------------------ The first fresh thought I've heard came from the retired CEO of Shell.

Been used of Singapore to handle a major spill a few years ago.

Herd the oil with a bunch of supertankers, sucking up oil/water which is then separated on shore with the cleaned water being returned to the Gulf.

All that is needed is for the USA to stand up and get started.

Meanwhile BP keeps playing with themselves.

Given enough supertankers, they could at least stay even with the leak until the plugging well gets finished in August.

The "good" news is that among other things, they're using a dispersing agent to break up the oil before too much is washed up on the beaches.. The bad news it that it's apparently sinking to the bottom and will kill the coral..

Depends on where they use the dispersing agent and where it sinks. If it sinks near the well or in similar depths, there's not much to kill. There are deep water corals, but most corals are shallow water reef dwellers.

To soon? Drill baby drill spill baby spill Just my Leeebral way of saying "I told you so" Now that the oil is spilt not much you can do except try to hide the size of the spill from view. Experts say because of the pressures involved they may have to wait for the oil to run out. Then BP can cap it and claim they fixed it. The stuff once it touches dry land sticks to everything They can throw hay, dispersants and supertanker scoopers at it but it is incredibly huge spill Like using your little spray bottle of Windex to clean a state bigger than Texas Is anything bigger than Texas? Chaney got what he wanted deregulation and deep water drilling Options are clean it up as best you can and heavily regulate the drilling or no drilling. Wait 30 years for the stuff to be hidden by a foot of sand and live with the effects to people's health You know you want it, you need it, oil the life's blood of America Consider the place a write off and drill more baby drill more.

Funny that is what I thought of you for wanting to drill there in the first place.

How does Letterman's insensitivity prove Quinn's Law?

Better idea. Let's just send you. Your swelled head could plug most any pipe.
