MAP OF THE DAY: The Oil Slick Is Forming An Ominous Tail

The Deepwater Horizon oil leak is ominously spreading, and now has a tail that may be close to entering the Loop Current, which might drag the oil slick along Florida and up the East Coast.

Nice pic MNEagle!

I just read an interesting take on the Gulf disaster, where the author calls this BO's Katrina, but a million times worse: A Citizen’s Indictment Of Co-Conspirators BP & BO (http://concernedcitizensofflorida.wordpress.com/2010/05/16/a-citizen%E2%80%99s-indictment-of-co-conspirators-bp-bo-2/)

Back to BP and BO and their complicity in the worst environmental catastrophe of the modern age. Here we have a foreign national corporation dictating to the US Government how an ongoing undersea “ginormous oil volcano” will be dealt with. The permitting authority is the US Government (out to lunch). The regulatory body is the US Government (AWOL). And the legal jurisdiction is the US Government (nobody home). Meanwhile, the Mother of all Gushers is letting loose as much as 2 & 1/2 million gallons of oil a day into the Gulf which is home to so much life and culture and local economy of the USA.

Before this crime against humanity occurred, where was the Department of Interior, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency? WHERE WERE THEY?! More importantly, WHERE ARE THEY NOW!? The US Navy together with the US Transportation Command, Global Divers, Inc., every US Oil Company presently in the Gulf and so on, need to be mounting the biggest joint effort in US history to permanently cap this well. The Navy, having probed the depths of the 35, 814 foot deep Mariana Trench, has all the needed robotics, deep sea equipment, and other technology/capability necessary to plug this hole post haste. Hello!!! Anybody home?!

After this assault on the Gulf of Mexico first began, as well as throughout the continuous transgressions against Her coastline and all that lives and works there, really where is the US Federal Government?! Clearly, by its acts of omission and commission this Administration will be found guilty of a much greater violation of the public trust than any previous one. Criminal negligence, treason, misprison of felony, malfeasance, collusion with the enemy (BP) are just some of the few that come to mind in the wake of the real looming regional calamity about to materialize. The BO Administration needs to be impeached en masse and forever held up as the antithesis of what governance should stand for. For shame! Truly, a legacy full of utter shame as they spin their misdeeds as right conduct.
