Nature has a way of helping the situation,” said BP spokesman John Curry.
Well, thank heavens. At least they have a plan. Sitting back and letting nature takes it course and have oil seep into shellfish beds, reefs, and coastline from Texas to Maine. Can’t wait!

crews may have to just do nothing
Seriously? Do nothing? We’re not resourceful enough to rise to the occasion and come up with some creative way to alleviate some of the damage? No one in the Obama brain trust has any ideas outside the box? Oh, wait they’re letting BP handle this because BP is obviously being really forthright and doing such a good job of mitigating damage.

All I can think of is Palestinian school kids who learn math from text books that use guns as items being counted in the examples.
We’re raising an entire state populations to be the epitome of everything that is bad and just down-right embarrassing about white people. Super…. Maybe we should make an exception and let them secede. I guess that would be sort of disrespectful to Lincoln though.
How the hell do you fix a problem like that?
James Carville Takes On Obama On Oil Spill: He’s ‘Risking Everything’ With ‘Go Along With BP Strategy’
The administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical” and (the administration) …was “naive” to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort.
Thank you. The media coverage and administration’s comments from start to finish have been pretty surreal. Nice to hear that I’m not the only person on the planet who was thinking it.

Whhha, whhhaaa, what???!
A cover-up?
What possible motivation could they have to telling the government, public and media bold-faced lies since the spill began?
I would have snarky comment about how this isn’t news but this is the only article I’ve seen to mention a cover-up so I guess instead I have to give Reuters props.
