and so? seriously... do people on the left care about the gulf south? I think not. they might care about some dead fish and birds and turtles, but about the poeple there? no. we want to turn this country around, we need to care about the people. period. the left can't seem to do that. Jindal asking for help is simply a reason for them to crow. "oh, lookie at him now". fak that. the land will never turn blue with such an attitude. and no one suffering because of the spill will believe they care. cause ya know what? certains really don't give a fak. it's just a reason to laugh. cause they don't like people in the south, even though a large percentage are black, unlike in the places they live, which are mostly white places. but wtf I know. I think the 'left' should be honest and admit they really only like the spill because it hurts the south and gives them a chance to say nannernanner. oh, and to say 'ohhhhhhhh, the poor dead birdies, I love birdies. oh, and even if the people in the south are no better than goat herders, I am a good person and will care about them. I am big big big person.'

5/8/2010 5:45:52 PM From: Wharf Rat of 191293 shelburn on May 8, 2010 - 2:58pm from AP - "Icelike crystals encrusting a 100-ton steel-and-concrete box meant to contain oil gushing from a broken well deep in the Gulf of Mexico forced crews Saturday to back off a long-shot plan to contain the leak. The buildup on the specially constructed containment box made it too buoyant and clogged it up" Oops The buoyancy problem should be an easy - but time consuming - fix. EVERYTHING at 5,000 feet is time consuming. I don't know much about hydrates but that much buildup doesn't sound good. Maybe they need to hook it up to the drill string, get their hot water and methanol running and use the drill ship to lower it. Which should be doable. By the way I think they may be planning to use an ROV to inject the methanol.
