The problem until now was that they didn't really want to stop the flow. They wanted to continue production. The government is now forcing them to stop the flow and abandon production.
Yeah like that'll happen in America. The politicians can use that for their re-election campaign funded by the oil lobbyists, paid for by public taxes.
Blowing something up is always the best option. Detonating a large fuel reserve to stop it from leaking makes perfect sense to me. Absolutely nothing to worry about.
Here, here...and when it doesn't work, we can escalate..er.. I mean surge the situation and then get Haliburton to take matters in hand. That shouldn't cost too much, should it? I mean they're doing such a fine job in Iraq and Afghanistan that it wouldn't be more that a few trillion, a price any American would gladly pay on top of everything else. (endorsement approved by Halliburton stockholders)
When did the republican mantra become "Spend Baby Spend". Oh, wait, they do like to spend don't they, it's the paying the bills part of it they have a problem with.
It's not a republican mantra, it's a corporate mantra rubber-stamped by both political parties to abscond with money not theirs from people who have no choice in the wherefore of spending.
If you stay off of Facebook, your friends and colleagues assume it's because of some anti-social horrible problem with you and treat you very differently.
Is this called the Lemming syndrome? It sounds like you sheeple need to turn off the stupid box and get out more often.
The whole line of discussion on this topic is pointless. It's business as usual, politics as usual. The government has not changed, the oil companies are pointing their fingers at everyone but themselves. The checks and balances are not checking nor are they balancing, all the while the oil spill/leak is continuing to grow and spread in the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe when the spill overflows the gulf and into the Atlantic Ocean will you assholes get it. How does anyone know if the continuing release of oil from under the Earth's crust is related to the ever increasing seismic activity. Like anyone else, I enjoy waking up to apple pancakes however, you sheople are about to wake up to a baseball bat upside your collective heads!
How much money has the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost so far?; huh?, Apparently the idea of fighting a war on two fronts got lost in the translation. Remember the past or you will be doomed to repeat it.
Drop everyone of those crooked, fat-assed, chicken-hawk politicians into downtown Fallujah or Ramahdi and we will be out if the area by 12:00 zulu, today.
If the government funded NASA like they fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we would be just outside of Alpha Centauri by now. We bail out the asshole banksters, incompetent automakers, coke driven wall streeters and yet, we nickel and dime the nations only foothold on the high frontier. There is no long term national initiative. If you want to go into space, learn Chinese and hope your genetic makeup is acceptable; or you could pay millions of dollars/ Euros/ pounds of gold and fly Russian. There is money to be made in space and IF you can't see that, XIE XIE and Dos Svydanya.

Goldman Sachs did it just last year.
Zing!
And they will be first in line for Bailout #2.
Does Milburn Dryesdale ring a tune?
A friendly bank is one who uses lube before they bend you over, isn't it?
A friendly bank doesn't use sand until you are well broken in.
And his calling out of Senator Shelby was pretty epic:
"A lesser President might have waited until after the upcoming election cycle, not caring that billions more dollars would be wasted.
Unfortunately, a lesser president created this mess with the initial proposal.
Been there, done that, brought back some moon rocks. If the Chinese want our sloppy seconds, let them go.
When we do decide to return, the Chinese will be waiting like a pimp in the dark.
Hey buddy, times up. Time for you to go.

And right after that, the revolution begins.
I'd rather have Steve Buscemi in charge.

Yeah, maybe you can find some on Chatroullette.

Ares It is slated to cost $35 BILLION to develop.

... this highly polarized political environment.
Only when there is a revolution, will the political environment be highly polarized.
Universal health care is a good thing. It's not socialist. Get over it.
When the whole Universe starts paying for health care, maybe, just maybe it would be a good thing.

The correction should be '2010s: "How's your Chinese"' since they will most likely be the next to go the Moon.
How's your Urdu?

Literally, that is.
And a chance for radically different model names. For example, the slowest DNA-based model will be called "cousin Jed" or something.
Are you sure it isn't Jethro?
