There's a lot that I find increasingly troubling about this situation.

the coast guard is apparently busy serving the interests of BP, not the public.

BP is facing fresh scrutiny into whether it was involved in the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi, after the oil giant admitted lobbying the British government over a prisoner agreement with Libya.

Larry Hagman says "Shine baby, shine!" supporting solar power initiative

He said the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico prompted him to bring back the J. R. character. “With all that oil gushing away in the gulf, I figured it was time to call for a new direction in where we’re getting our energy,” the actor said. “Since Sarah Palin is saying, ‘Drill, baby, drill,’ I’m saying, ‘Shine, baby, shine.’ It’s a lot cheaper and cleaner.”

Taking on the oil industry... dangerous stuff. He's gonna get shot coming out with stuff like that.
