I think what Mudcat needs today is a thread about how Israel (or maybe Hamas -- doesn't matter) is to blame for the oil spill in the Gulf. How "BP" really stands for "BenGurion Petroleum"(*), and the evil Israelis (or Palestinian leaders) blew the Deepwater Horizon on purpose, to draw attention away (or towards) the blockade of Gaza. Then close the other 15 threads about either the Mavi Marmara or Deepwater Horizon and corral all the palaver about them in one place.

Just a thought.

*I couldn't think of a name for an oil company owned by Hamas that had as its acronym "BP". I will leave this as an exercise for the reader.
