Whatever. Compare and contrast. Since the word conspiracy is associated with being a nut job, let's just replace it with the word collusion. They mean the same damn thing. Even defense contractors admit they are in collusion with the Federal Government. And so are the oil companies with respect to safety and regulations. We now see our Chernobyl.



 
Yeah...  Our Chernobyl is public education (aka gubme't indoctrination centers). 

What a bunch of members...  Greed is bad.  Capitalism supports greed.  Capitalism is bad...

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

The live feed shows massive spewing still, but BP is claiming it's more mud and gas than oil.  Second part is the concrete injection into that hole.

It is my opinion that they still don't have a fucking clue.  They are praying that it's working.

WWL reporting that the oil leak has stopped "for now."

Quote
Allen: Oil leak stopped... at least for now

Dave Cohen Reporting

There is currently no oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico from the well that had been spewing crude into the sea for more than a month.

"They've stopped the hydrocarbons from coming up," National Incident Commander Thad Allen told WWL First News. "They've been able to stabilize the well head, they are pumping mud down it."

Allen says now they have to make sure the heavy drilling fluids, or mud, will hold back the oil and natural gas in the well long enough for them to be able to cap the well.

"The goal is to put enough mud down the well bore to the point where there is no pressure exerted back by the hydrocarbons and then allow a cement plug to be put in place."

The Coast Guard admiral says when they feel things are stable enough, engineers will try to inject the cement into the equipment on top of the well and seal it off.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

That is not an opinion - it is fact.  Top kill has never been tried at this depth.  And if they get any kind of blowback - i.e., the mud is not heavy enough to hold down the oil until the cement can be pumped in - the resulting blowout will make the first one look like a lawn sprinkler.  THAT's why they have not tried this before.  This is about their last ditch effort here.  This is the kid sticking his finger in the hole in the dike.

My question is will they be low enough to cover the vent holes and has the casing broken down at all? If the answer is no then this could work and I hope it does for all of us.

r2d2 was seen as a threat to national security and was overheard (in subtitles of course) plotting the demise of a government official. I do not have a mug shot to share from the arrest. Sorry!
