~One of the few silver linings of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is that it demonstrates that views like those of Rand Paul are basically immature, adolescent views of property. They remind me of teenagers who like to put up signs on their bedroom doors warning their siblings and parents not to enter at any cost.
~This image, acquired on May 24, 2010 by the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft, shows oil from the former Deepwater Horizon rig encroaching upon several of Louisiana's wildlife habitats.The source of the spill is located off the southeastern (bottom right) edge of the image. The left-hand image contains data from the nadir (vertical-viewing) camera, and is shown in near-true color except that data from the near-infrared band, where vegetation appears bright, has been blended with the green band to enhance the appearance of vegetation. The Mississippi River delta is located below image center. The slick is seen approaching the delta from the lower right, and filaments of oil are also apparent further to the north (towards the top). The oil is made visible by sunglint off the sea surface. Oil is known to have a damping effect on surface waves, making the surface look brighter under these viewing conditions than it would if the oil were not present. However, other factors can also cause enhanced glint, such as reduced surface wind speed. To separate glint patterns due to oil from these other factors, additional information from MISR's cameras is used in the right-hand image.

BP's intellectual dishonesty
~Anyone who trusted BP to be honest in the public debate about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and its impact should have those notions dispelled by now. Note the outstretched hands of punked Admiral Thad 'The Impaler' Allen of Tony Fey Hayward: is that Shit in one hand, half a dozen in the other?

It's really undeniable
To tell the truth's not viable
If we are not lieable
We're liable to be triable
And found financially liable
...Maybe [gulp] even hogtieable.

Hey, think you could do us a limerick or three?
There once was a Brit named Tony Hayward
who met his catch on the Gulf Fey'ward
He was looking fo'some Vlad,
when he came upon Admiral Thad,
so now he rides Thad The Impaler!

Director James Cameron says BP turned down help offer
~Film director and deep-sea explorer James Cameron said on Wednesday that BP Plc turned down his offer to help combat the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Over the last few weeks I've watched, as we all have, with growing horror and heartache, watching what's happening in the Gulf and thinking those morons don't know what they're doing," Cameron said at the All Things Digital technology conference. Cameron, the director of "Avatar" and "Titanic," has worked extensively with robot submarines and is considered an expert in undersea filming. He did not say explicitly who he meant when he referred to "those morons." His comments came a day after he participated in a meeting at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency headquarters in Washington to "brainstorm" solutions to the oil spill.

Gaylord Opryland takes steps to recover $225 million in flood costs~During a one-hour conference call with Wall Street analysts on Wednesday, Gaylord CEO and Chairman Colin Reed stopped short of suggesting the hotel chain would sue the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or other agencies, but he said authorities sent him flawed forecasts just hours before the flood topped levees around the property and endangered hotel guests and staff in early May. Legal analysts say suing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a tricky business that rarely succeeds. New Orleans attorney Chris D'Amour of the Adams and Reese law firm said the MRGO case is one of the few times the Corps of Engineers' general immunity to lawsuits after floods has been breached, and it required a massive legal effort.
