No doubt about that, the others maybe, but fernando? Who gives a fuck what that guy thinks.

That theory is delicious man, wouldn't that be awesome? It would also make sense why there is no video etc...

My thoughts exactly. His DUI back then killed his friend/passenger. To even think about driving drunk after something like shows what a complete asshole this guy is. I don't care if it's two decades later. Because of this history he should be thrown in jail for a year at least, although that will never happen. The guy's a total fucking loser.

I'd imagine that they aren't allowing American volunteers to help clean the mess because of the toxicity of the spill itself. Workers have already been reporting a wide variety of ailments after coming into contact with this stuff.

I honestly don't believe that getting it capped hasn't been their priority, I simply don't think anybody knows how to get it done. To claim that Obama is simply sitting on his hands doing nothing is a stretch to say the least.
