www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/09/kevin-costners-oil-spill_n_640601.htmlI stand corrected. Apparently Costner's skimmer device is pretty good. Good news, plus maybe the Whale, and now this: apnews.excite.com/article/20100709/D9GRLTP82.htmlThe bad news? Lotta animal deaths and a mess to clean up for a year or more. The good news? They now know what won't work, what does, and are likely encouraged by the kick in the nuts BP will receive annually on the various anniversaries to make damned sure this happens not again. New catch phrase from forthcoming mafia flicks. "I'm gonna do to you what BP deserved." This replaces "get all medieval on ya" which had run past its shelf life in 1997. If it happens again, and the guilty party made no adjustments and didn't have ready response set to go, expect legislation to bring back flaming oilboarding and the rack. Not the one attached to the trophy wife, either. I do call attention to the fact that small waves preclude skimming, and it would have been ecologically worse on the East Coast even if less reached land.
