3. No. There isn't really any good news yet.

The oil's still flowing. Do you want some fake good news?

9. Put some weight on them and send them down.

Maybe some kind of gaseous counter pressure would also help. What's Limbaugh's schedule look like next week?

10. this is called real life.

there are no magical solutions.
there are no easy answers
It won't be fixed right away
the gulf will be sick for quite some time.

people want life to be a movie - see Tweety.

In truth, this is what is called real life. it will take time, it will be something that will require patience and understanding and it is something that there simply are no fixes yet and we need to grow up and deal with the fact of life.

12. What is heavier than water and has the consistency of mud?

seems we should be coming up with a mud mix. I'm thinking lots and lots of sodium bentonite.
