BP's live video feed of the leak.

I know many of you have seen the leaking pipe on the tv, so I put up the link for it.

It is not pretty.

I heard our gov't is considering a 50cent per gallon tax on gasoline to help clean up the spill. Depending on whether they can shut it off soon or not it may go up to $1.00/gal or more. So if you use gas that makes you partially responsible for cleaning up the mess. Sounds fair to me why don't I just write the check now?

WHEN IS IT GONNA END?!?!?!?

The proposal was 32 cents per barrel to fund the cleanup.   Either way, we get f-ed in the end.

It looks like they are trying something now.

Just like anything the government gets into...Let there be a problem and the taxpayer will fund the action to correct it, not the people/corporation responsible.

The link has been turned off just like BP said they would.  I guess the US Government is not in charge.  Duh...

[Bucktail]

It's on now.
