Up Through The Ground Come A Bubblin’ Crude

Via The Upshot, take a look at this:

According to WVUE correspondent John Snell, local officials dispatched a dive team to a barrier island off of southeastern Louisiana’s Plaquemines parish to scan the sea floor for oil. The team, however, could barely see the sea floor, due to the current murky state of the area waters. But when the divers returned to shore, they made a rather remarkable discovery: tiny holes that burrowing Hermit crabs had dug into the ground effectively became oil-drilling holes. When the divers placed pressure on the ground near the holes, oil came oozing up.

The magical thinkers of planet BP want everyone to believe that the oil has “disappeared.” Here on planet earth we know very well that just doesn’t happen.
