Where's Froggy when they need him?
 
Caught this item on CNN.
Those cleanup boat workers need to be told that the oil spill is no big
deal.
Can you help out Froggy?

Spoofer alert! I'd never mention anything about work, what with my lazy
son and my career with Crown Corporation.

He's probably selling paper towels to the cleanup workers.

My 1490 arrived. It is not as complicated as a Garmin chartplotter!

It is complicated to me, but then again, I have to get hand me downs and
advice from my lazy drunken son.

Well, fella, you're not in Huntingtown, MD, the bestest, most fabulous
place on earth to live. Everything thing I have, or have done, is the
best. Right down to the area I live in.

You should abandon that clapped out old sailboat and get a 36' lobsta'
boat like mine!

What is really comical is that the solution to getting rid of the
floating oil is so simple that only the govt stands in the way of
accomplishing it.
Take bales of hay, spread em out and spray them with oil to make em
hydrophobic, bale em again and then spread em over the spill. The hay
soaks up the oil and not the water and then you use unemployed
fishermen with their nets to gather up the hay and you press the oil
from it.
Why this will not be done:

1. It would require an environmental impact statement which is costly
and impossible to do in any reasonable time.
2. It would open BP to medical liability issues from the fishermen
who might claim they were harmed by fumes.
3. It is not an "approved" spilled oil recovery method.
4. No way the govt will allow oily hay to be spread even though it
will help a lot.

If this spill had been on private property, the cleanup would be
accomplished in a couple of weeks. When you involve the govt, it
simply will not happen.

From what I've seen and heard, that last is especially true of this
administration.
