Hey Oil Slut, Tell Us Again About How Offshore Drilling Is So Great

The Oil Slut keeps telling us, in those commercials by the oil and gas folks, how more offshore drilling is such a terrific deal.

Sure, it is.
The oil rig 50 miles off the southeast coast of Louisiana where an explosion occurred Tuesday night has collapsed into the Gulf of Mexico, a Coast Guard official said.

The rig had been taking on water from the firefighting efforts.

Petty Officer Tom Atkeson said on Thursday that the rig sank “sometime this morning.”

“We have multiple vessels on scene — all response vessels — and they are on scene there to help to mitigate the effects of the pollution,” Petty Officer Atkeson said in a telephone interview. He added that it was not clear how much oil had spilled into the ocean.

Nor was it immediately clear what, if any, environmental implications the rig’s collapse would have.

I just read that there's a 5 mile long oil slick.
Now, I heard or read yesterday that there was no chance of a spill as the rig hadn't been connected to well pipes yet.
You mean someone in the oil industry lied? You keep hearing we need to drill baby drill as the rigs have a proven record of no spills.

Yeah, bite my ass!

Gee, lets roll the film of what happened off Santa Barbara in 1969 - compare and contrast. We shit in our own nest, and we don't even remember what happened...
