Oil me up
So I hear they’re now asking James Cameron the movie director to help fix the oil spill problem. I think they’re now officially clueless about how to fix this. Seriously, a movie director? There’s no blue screen here. Special effects and sh-tty story telling isn’t going to fix this! And then I heard tonight that Kevin Costner is getting into the act as well? Really? Because he made “Waterworld” he’s now qualified? Why not reach way back and get Patrick Duffy. He was “the Man from Atlantis” after all. Why not just get Aquaman to fix it all?
I”ve also heard that there is a fear that the next hurricane that comes along could pick up the oil and rain it down on us, which is pretty much what hurricanes usually do with the water in the gulf. Or, in addition to the oil, that toxic oil dispersion stuff they’ve been using. That’s about the scariest thing I’ve heard yet.
I think it’s high time that both the feckless government and BP admit that they have no clue whatsoever how to plug up that hole or how to clean up the oil. We’re screwed, but at least this way we can prepare ourselves mentally.
By the way, my idea? Use a bomb. A BIG one. Maybe even a tactical nuke. Drop it into the ocean and detonate it under water and above the ocean floor over the leak. The explosion would send a shockwave downward that could compress the ground and close up the hole.
