WOW! The stupidity of our government becomes more apparent with each passing day Good read. I'd like to know what sort of impact it could have made, if we had used them.

That is typical of the American agencies to have such rules in place. There are still mobile homes stored at the Hope Airport from Katrina, because Fema rules could not allow them to be placed at the elevations in Southern Louisiana where they were needed.

All that article does is give just a little bit of insight to the "ego" in place in Washington.

This administration is a worthless pile of dog turds. But don't say anything bad about them, they might get there feelings hurt and be forced to reprimand you.

Article in the Fort Worth paper mentioned something I had not heard. There are operating wells in the Texas Gulf that are deeper than the BO Deep Horizon well.
