Skytruth.org: BP / Gulf Oil Spill – 39 Million Gallons And Growing
The MODIS / Terra satellite image of the Gulf taken yesterday (May 24, 2010) is a relatively cloud-free look at the ongoing oil spill in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Areas covered by oil slick and sheen are marked with a solid orange line. Areas where we think there may be slicks and sheen, but our analysis is of lower confidence, are shown by dashed orange lines. All together, slicks and sheen are possibly covering as much as 28,958 square miles (75,000 km2). That’s an area as big as the state of South Carolina:

MODIS / Terra image, May 24, 2010, with no analysis or annotationIt’s Day 35 of this fatal incident. Our estimated spill rate of 1.1 million gallons (26,500 barrels) per day, now on the conservative end of the scientific estimates, leads us to conclude that almost 39 million gallons of oil have spilled into the Gulf so far. BP and the federal government had said that they would announce a new official estimate of the daily spill rate on May 22, but we’ve heard nothing more about that. As far as we can tell, they are still claiming the spill rate is 210,000 gallons (5,000 barrels) per day. At that much lower rate, the total amount spilled would be 7.35 million gallons.
A Florida teacher was assaulted by two fellow teachers…who splashed her with holy water because she is an atheist. It would get your head ripped off and your lungs pissed in… before drawing your last breath. Self-defense.
“Let’s have at least one real scientist in Congress,” says Dr Robertson, an “expert on energy and founder of the Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine.” Widely known for his petition signed by more than 31,000 American scientists exposing human-caused global warming as a fraud, he will be running against Democrat Peter DeFazio in November. Really now, what is up with that?
A quick test for those who hold the ocean a big place, a massive volume to absorb so small a ‘leak’: give the man a gallon of water and tell him that it may have “one drop of HIV-tainted blood in it. Ask him if he’ll drink.”
Republican sponsored ‘christian’ punk rock band advocates executing gays
I advocate executing ‘christians’ and republicans alike. All of them. Yesterday.
They are, afterall, insufficiently evolved. Less-than-human. Animals.
What could possibly go wrong?

Cross my path today, scrotum-sucking daughter-fucker, I’ll “spill” your oil.
