Here are the 'advances' I saw at work with the revolutionary Gulf Oil Spill Clean up:

1) Spray toxic chemical that sinks it out of sight
2) Make sure you put the Coast Guard and Local Law Enforcement in your pocket
3) Use gov't law enforcement/military to deny anyone access to spill
4) Use your own people to do 'sniff tests' on any fish/shellfish that are sold from area waters
5) Continue to lie, lie, lie about how bad it is, what's being done and how much you care
6) Drop some Xanax at your Congressional hearing and appear too zoned to answer squat.
