Goo gone — not…

Power Line  calls out His Oneness on all the oil being gone from the Gulf.   You know it’s really bad spin when even the  WaPo admits the scientists don’t agree with the government’s rosy report.

Cap works!

Finally,  some  good news from the Gulf.   Which brings me back to the question of why the hell they didn’t put a new cap on the day after the first one didn’t work…

Wouldn’t it have been nice if one of the geniuses His Oneness claims to have surrounded himself with had stumbled onto that notion?

Oily chaos…

First we have the obligatory bleating by the ecoNazis,  in the  U.K. Times and in the New York  version.    Alan Caruba finds this very convenient for enemies of energy.   Then the New York Times slips the edge of a big toe into the  matters of  responsibility and response.

The New York Post correctly describes the Obama Administration’s response as a  pr offensive.   This video shows that the feds knew it might be bad,  yet Janet Napolitano  has waited 11 days to appoint someone to head up the operation,  and apparently that was partly in response to  Louisiana Governor Jindal’s criticism of the FEMA  response.  The  L. A. Times  also weighs in.

When I heard that swat teams had been sent to other rigs in the Gulf,  I immediately  wondered if they suspected sabotage.  Other than Rush Limbaugh and  Canada Free Press,  no one seems willing to mention this potential angle.

Hugh Hewitt offers some  information from a Coast Guarsdman.

I had trouble getting the audio to behave on the video,  so I’ve included some other sites featuring it in hopes  one of  them will work for you.   The government site which originally had the video crashes every time I try to go there.
