In honor of Craptasket, I'll be posting lots of Texas-related news this week.

[release]A Texas official said Monday that tar balls from the Gulf oil spill have been found on state beaches, becoming the first known evidence that gushing crude from the Deepwater Horizon well has now reached all the Gulf states.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said two crews were removing tar balls found on the Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island on Sunday.
"We've said since day one that if and when we have an impact from Deepwater Horizon, it would be in the form of tarballs," Patterson said in a news release.
"This shows that our modeling is accurate. Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab."
The state said responders have recovered about 35 gallons of waste material tainted by the oil from the two sites.
Signs of landfall by oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill had previously only been reported in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
The distance between the westernmost reach of the spill in Texas and the easternmost reports of oil in Florida is about 550 miles. Oil was first spotted on land near the mouth of the Mississippi River on April 29.
And the spill is reaching deeper into Louisiana. Strings of oil were also seen Monday in the Rigolets, one of two waterways that connect Lake Ponchartrain, the large lake north of New Orleans, with the Gulf.
"So far it's scattered stuff showing up, mostly tar balls," said Louisiana Office of Fisheries Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "It will pull out with the tide, and then show back up."
Pausina said he expected the oil to clear the passes and move directly into the lake, taking a backdoor route to New Orleans.[/release]
More tar balls = more people who get angry at BP.
I wonder if it would be possible to gather up tar balls and throw them at people.
Texas is in a state of affair.
Everyone is thinking "Fuck BP they ruined everything, I am not buying their gas anymore", but that's a really bad idea because it's going to take a lot of BP's money to fix this mess.
yeah it doesn't really fit here but i had to say it.

Although I think I agree with you, I'm not following the logic here.

Bring it home as a souvenir.
God damn it, I'm calling my state representative not only to yell at them about the 2010 platform stupidity, but to get him to introduce a bill blocking BP from using Texas Refineries which account for 15% of total Refineries in the world
Name it like the TEXAS OFF SHORE OIL SPILL ACT effectively saying that should a Oil Spill happen and the oil touches Texas shores, they are then blocked from importing or offloading oil in Texas for refining oil as long as the spill lasts, along with a 1 day extra penalty added for every 1000 feet of beach effected directly due to the oil spill after the Oil Spill ends along with a $250,000 fine each day for a U.S. company and a $1,000,000 fine each day for a foreign company :clint:

BP needs to get their shit together.
I think i'll just bag/box it up and freeze it, like i did for the snow last year (it's a once in a decade thing shut up)

Anderson :eng101:
British Petroleum has committed one of the greatest acts of human negligence I've ever seen. This eco-terrorism of theirs is simply inexcusable. The only possible good thing that could ever come out of this is giving us, as a species, one of the greatest examples of things we should NOT do when managing a company.
I'm disappointed that the CEO of this company is still in his position of power after this atrocity.
