By BRIAN SKOLOFF (AP) – 47 minutes ago GULFPORT, Miss. — Scientists say the Gulf oil spill could get into the what's called the Loop Current within a day, eventually carrying oil south along the Florida coast and into the Florida Keys. Nick Shay, a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, said Monday once the oil enters the Loop Current, it likely will end up in the Keys and continue east into the Gulf Stream. Shay says the oil could affect Florida's beaches, coral reefs, fisheries and ecosystem within a week. He described the Loop Current as similar to a "conveyor belt," sweeping around the Gulf, through the Keys and right up the East Coast. Shay says he cannot think of any scenario where the oil doesn't eventually reach the Florida Keys.

Too bad Rush Limbaugh doesn't live on the west coast of Florida. I'm sure seeing all that oil washing up on the beach in front of his home would make his day. He could do a whole show about how plentiful our oil reserves are.

How about the millions of other people, dumbshit? Do you ever have a nonpartisan thought or are you permanently stuck on fookin stupid? Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
Rush Limbaugh on the oil spill: "You do survive these things. I'm not advocating don't care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there," Limbaugh said. "It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is."

I can see NOVEMBER from my House....

Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.
That's great. I'm sure he'll be happy. Oil spills are no big deal according to Limbaugh.
