And why aren't the oil companies drilling in shallower water, instead of 5000' deep? It has been reported that there are known oil deposits in much shallower water, and an accident such as happened, would obviously be much easier to contain/repair. Of course, I don't know the first thing about oil drilling, but it seems that would make a whole heck of a lot more sense.

Exactly!!!



I also find it inappropriate that the Pres isn't in DC this weekend!
