That Oil Rig Thing

Some amazing pics, as always, at the Boston Globe.
Oh, and the crazy conspiracy theory: a North Korean submarine attacked it. (Thanks, Ken.)
But Rick Perry thinks if may be "an act of God."

Was a monster of a fire. I think even Red Adair would have walked away.

p.s. - Anyone remember the Bay of Campeche fire & spill in 1979? Some classic Governor Bill Clements comments at the time.

So our dear R.P. thinks God wanted his oil stocks to make more money so he sank an oil rig? WTF! Yes prices will go up, since when don't they. A guy on a rig in the gulf sneezes and they go up and someone thinks they won't because of this? Holy Snikeys!

One message board I read says Obama and environmentalists sank it to stop offshore drilling.

I'm telling you these guys are certifiable.

Prices shouldn't go up. This stuff was in the Earth under the ocean and not in inventory anywhere. I am sure others will think differently about that.

Besides, isnt this like a refinery's dream? Not diggin for oil cuz the crud is just coming out to the surface. Seems like now is as good a time as any to drum this stuff up.....

Well the first thing you know Hussein's a millionaire

Kenyan folk said 'O' move away from there

"Acts of God" and "incompetence" look remarkably alike.

HAHAHAHA that's as funny as OBAMA blaming BP for it."

RPM...How is it any different from the libs that believe GW orchestrated 911 so we could go to war with Iraq. There are some well known names out there that believe this as well, just look at the members of the 911 Truth Movement. Remember Van Jones, Debra Medina they believe the conspiracy. What about English author David Shayler who believes the planes were missiles surrounded by holograms made to look like planes. You can even throw Charlie Sheen and Jessie Ventura out there as two more that are certifiable

A poll taken in 2006 by Scripps Howard and Ohio University showed that, "More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East."

This just goes to show you that at least 1/3 of the American public is certifiable!

Silly goose- it IS technically an act of God (and you know it) because if for no other reason blowout preventer fails statistically NEVER fail.

Why would God want to destroy an Oil Rig?

Can we sue God for causing such an awful environmental disaster?

God sank the oil rig because his bank account in heaven was looking a little slim so he thought he'd make a little extra cash by making his oil stocks go up in price! At least that's what Jesus told me on the phone the other night.

I'd say that is a low estimate.
