Muddying The Waters

The latest desperate attempt to cap the underwater petroleum volcano is upon us. The would be remedy has the none too comforting name of Top Kill, (seen above) which, apparently, involves dropping massive amounts of heavy mud onto and into the fissure(s) leaking oil and gas. The success or failure of this latest gambit by BP will begin to reveal itself sometime today. Pray that it works, if you are the praying kind, and, in the meantime, prepare for a figurative muddying of the waters by BP should this attempted solution not yield the desired results.
