That method would no doubt have also failed, but all the average TV viewer would retain from hearing the story would be "Oh my God, the oil suddenly stopped pouring out all by itself." Even when subsequent stories reported that the leak was continuing, a good proportion of the public would remain convinced it had stopped. "I think I heard it on Glenn Beck." Hey, it makes as much sense as garbage and golf balls.</div></div></div> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:50:43 +0000 acanuck comment 11882 at http://dagblog.com
