Deepwater Horizon oil spill: “Top Kill” not looking so good
Posted by coby on May 28, 2010 There remain more questions than answers at this point, but the BP spin from yesterday that “Top Kill” was working appears to have been a falsehood. BP is not the right source for what the actual data from the well head means, but unfortunately they are the only source of said data. I would like…

Willie Soon gets grilled by the Examiner
Posted by coby on May 14, 2010 Okay, that’s sarcasm. Wille Soon is featured in an interview on the Examiner.com website, but grilling is hardy how to describe the pathetic softballs Kir Meyers throws, rather rolls, his way.
