It is crimes like this that bring down governments, like the Tea Pot Dome oil scandel.


The Teapot Dome scandal did not bring down a government. It embarrassed an administration. The Constitution in no way was damaged.

Inspector General of the Department of the Interior released several damning reports about the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle that is the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) that oversees off shore drilling.

The Gulf has been declared a crime scene. The government has demanded all records, and the video of the leak shows a lot of oil coming out, a whole lot, after the pipe was put in.

You have lied to us from day one is the new version.

2,000-3,000 barrels an hour are flowing, up to 125,000 gallons, and in three weeks, BP has not even tried to stop it. Their three plans were to capture some of their oil.

Top Kill and junk shots seem hopeless, there is two and half miles of oil coming up a 21" pipe, lots of mass in motion.

The Russians used atomic bombs to stop a few blowouts, drill down, the blast flattens the pipe. They deep drill with Titanium, steel may shatter. They have a National Oil Company. It can put all the power of the State behind a problem.

This could still be running during the fall elections, and the people are not happy.
