Dirty South

    In their effort to clean up the oil, BP sets fires on the surface... burning up everything in the area. In some reports that has included many oiled sea turtles.

      Way to go BP, a very effective and efficient solution.

      Idiots.

      Is what Obama meant by bringing the best minds to find a solution to this disaster? This is ludicrous.

      i've heard all sorts of horrific stories... and not seen a whole lotta 'best minds'. *sigh*

      When I saw the other photos of this I first thought "I wonder if they are setting fire to the top oils?" but then I thought "No, they wouldn't be doing that!".

      *sigh*

      Yes, with all the intelligent scientific and environmental minds out there, why does it seem that BP and their crew do nothing but choose the most ineffectual "cheap and dirty" clean-up methods possible?

      Yup. No need to answer that one...
