(05-05) 10:43 PDT Robert, La. (AP) --

The Coast Guard is preparing for a controlled burn of some of the oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico now that weather conditions are more favorable.

Spokesman Petty Officer 3rd Class Brandon Blackwell at an oil command center in Robert, La., said Wednesday that boats will skim oil from the surface of the sea and burn it.

Controlled burns are part of the toolbox of strategies officials are using to rid the Gulf of the spilled oil. Burning the oil removes it from the open water and protects the shoreline and wildlife.

The Coast Guard says in a statement that a previous controlled burn on April 28 removed thousands of gallons of oil. Subscribe to *Spill-Baby-Spill*

Why did they extinguish the rig fire in the first place?

It seems to me that they've been flying blindly all 360degrees on this. It certainly has not been like fishing in a barrel.

I know. I'm not sure how bad this thing will really be. I heard that they capped one of the three leaks, so that's a start. If I read mcgowanjm then I'll believe it is the end of civilization as we knew it...

They've got to stop the leaks first and foremost.

Your (sic) correct, it certainly has not been like fishing in a barrel.

The ozone holes are man-made, unnatural, and are going to cause us all to die in horrible ways. I know this because I used to see it on TV before the 'ozone hole' threat mysteriously disappeared.

Lucky for us, eh?

Mcgoon and the whacko enviros just can't seem to make up their (alleged) minds what "disaster" is going to do us in!

Evidently Goldi,YOU'RE in charge of the Juvenile Delinquents here.

I have no more time. The GOM is being killed.

If you live in Florida I have no idea why you think you will be immune to this.

Right now, 30 million Southerners are just shutting down and watching the Greatest Event in the History of my life.

I'm pissed. I am beyond pissed. The MSM is a simple pawn to a corrupt government. We are fighting two deadly wars, killing the gulf with gushing oil, Europe is practically burning, and the best our MSM can offer us is headlines on a jack-ass who scored a clunker off Craig's List, went to the store and bought some propane tanks, M-80s and a used alarm clock from a thrift store!?!?!?!? Nobody even came close to dying!!!! The street vendor who spotted the smoke is a damned celebrity!!!! The thing never would have blown!!!! And New York wants money to fight what????? I built better bombs with acid and tin foil when I was a kid!!!!!!! I need a drink.

Truth Replaced by Silence is Evil.

This is Evil. Not Hystrionics. Evil.

Going thru the 'usual court proceedings' means that in 5 years BP begins to cleanup the GOM and Gulfstream that it killed.

30 million Southerners are shutting down and just watching.

This thing goes thru Key West, and it's just Civil War. I mean WTF!?

Quote: "It really is a catastrophe," Simmons said. "I don't think they're going to be able to put the leak out until the reservoir depletes. It's just too technically challenging."

He said BP's cleanup costs could ruin the company.

"They're going to have to clean up the Gulf of Mexico," he said.
