Default AUGUST?? The oil might leak until AUGUST?

Wait, I'm no engineer. Top kill? Junk shot? I dunno shit about 'em.

I do think one thing though:

Wouldn't a nice explosive shot down the hole essentially "liquefy" the sea floor in that area momentarily, and then it would all immediately re-settle due to gravity and water pressure, and seal this shit right up?

Why can't the Navy aim something straight down the throat of this thing?

I dont think its that easy, its the pressure from the pocket of oil that is shooting it up through the pipe, I think, they have to close the pipe. Liquifying the seafloor would make it worse. They need to punp concrete down the pipe and cork it off till it hardens. I still wanna know why BP isn't shitting themselves? Why are we not rioting? Why are the conspiracy theorists not screaming bloody murder? When does the U.N. or our government step up and tell BP that they are paying 100% of the clean up and restitution? Why doesn't Barry seize BP? We should own that company right now.

They stick their nose in and fuck everything else up. We will be driving Flintstone cars in no time.

The average American doesn't care. Consider how many think it's OK to dump their coolant into the storm drain, put batteries into the regular trash, or throw cigarette butts out the window.

Nah, its all natural man, oil comes from the earth and seeps into the ocean all the time, so its ok. Actually, all that oil just helps marinade the shrimp for us. Mmmmmm!

Why? Because the production of Jersey Shore has not been affected by this oil spill so it is not culturally relevant.
