Plan B was basically to cruise around in boats screaming “IT’S EVERYWHERE!”. :picard: Good to see Jay has gone from the pragmatic, common sense view on this issue to the Republican party line in about a month :tup: Perhaps you guys would like to join that idiot Congressman in apologizing to BP as well because Obama is mean to them? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/administration-bans-deep-water-drilling-while-other-countries-expand/156596)._
