The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is expected to strike the Louisiana coast on Tuesday, but officials are now saying a powerful current could spread the oil all the way to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
Officials are bracing for impacts to shorebirds, turtles, shellfish and other endangered wildlife along the gulf coast. However, many ocean scientists are now raising concerns that a powerful current could spread the still-bubbling slick from the Florida Keys up the coast to Cape Hatteras.
It's time for the progressives to save us ;D >:D
noone needs saving..like rush said "the oil is as natural as the ocean water". ;D >:D
This is clearly George Bush's fault >:D
I was thinking more along the lines of global warming ;D
I doubt the explosion was bush's fault..he wouldn't want to cut into his profits like that.. >:D

I'm sure the scientists will find a way to prove that this spill "is consistent with" the global warming models... never let a good crisis go to waste...gotta keep that grant money flowing. >:D

good point.
Bad timing for the tarpon migration
Gov-ment conspiracy meant to drive the price of gas up. None of those well platforms have ever sunk before ??? Quick go fill your vehicle up :P
It wont be long before only the Bush's and Obama's can afford to eat seafood.
On a serious note, this is bad for all the gamefishes in US waters. Not only tarpon but the pelagic fishes and all the migratory fish as well.
I hope this makes those in power reconcider the drill more wells idea. Instead, re-activate the 10'000 plus wells already drilled in the US that are capped. We have the wells, the companies just are not using them
Is this going to effect the price of fish sandwiches at McDonalds ???

Naw, that crap comes from Alaska. Its the fish the use for bait to catch bait for the king crab
double filet o' fish is whats up..
in all seriousness, this is a terrible tragedy that we will be feeling the effects of for quite some time...those fisheries may never recover fully, at least in our lifetimes.
I don't care if it reaches Iceland, as long as it doesn't fuck up my waters, I'm ok with it.
But I still think its Obama's fault, He was prolly lay'in bone to Oaphree on the platform, and her weight caused the rig to slant, and eventually break.....
Fukk'in fat people sucks.... >:D
Jis...say'in

wow that is some post. A record I think!
I've never seen one that is selfish, reeks of NIMBY, is environmentally insensitive, misogynistic, racist, and just rude to fat people! All in the same post!
I suppose your ok with terrorism too, as long as it is in some other country like iceland or Spain, or NY! Just hunker down in your bunker and come back out in 20 years, it will all be ok then.
I suppose that is what is good about this forum!

This disturbs me quite a bit. Anyone who conciders themselves a fisherman should also be disturbed. This is going to wreck the fisheries for a long time to come. The gulf is one of the few tuna spawning grounds in the world. The billfish, tuna, whaoo, dolphin, grouper, snapper are big tourist draws as well as comerical fishing. Flyfishing for tarpon, redfish and seatrout is world famous in the gulf region. Any angler should care what is happening in our back yards.

If this disturbs you quite a bit, you have much bigger problems than the intertweeb threads.
Try smoking weed, it helps "un-dooch" folks, trust me it works.
