~Top hats, kill shots and junk shots are on the growing wish list of improbable next steps, as the talk grows of Nationalizing BP to cover those effected by their Trillion Dollar Fuck Up.

What will oil in the Gulf of Mexico do to a hurricane?
~Dr. Jeff Masters, Wunderblog
~A tropical cyclone in its formative stage--as either a tropical depression or a tropical storm with 40 mph winds--might be adversely affected if it encountered the Gulf of Mexico oil slick, due to the reduction of evaporation into the storm. However, a full-fledged hurricane would mix the oil into the ocean to such a degree that the storm would probably not see any significant reduction in evaporation. It remains unknown how the reduction of sea spray by oil might affect a hurricane. If the oil slick expands to a much larger size, there might be a significant reduction in strength of the hurricane, if theory of how a reduction of sea spray will decrease a hurricane's winds is correct. However, the oil slick is currently Delaware-sized, while a hurricane tends to be Texas-sized, and I doubt that the oil slick at its current size is large enough to have a significant impact on a hurricane's intensity.

~Which begs the question of availability of oil booms for the east coast once this BP Disaster catches the Gulf Stream.
All that equipment is going to stay in the Gulf...right?
