Needs an aTm T-shirt in there somewhere to make it "Bubba Approved and Certified" ... seems like a feasible idea ... wonder what it would do to hay prices for cattle ranchers this coming winter.

That's be funny if they used this tactic. Then the liberals would have to acknowledge a conservative idea as a good one (assuming those 2 guys were conservative)

Quick answer:
"Hey y'all, shucks let's use hay to soak up the oil," video like it's the ******* cure for cancer, please pull your head out of your *** and think about what you're suggesting. Adding hay to water does not make the two magically disappear. "The area of the spill now exceeds 6,000 sq. miles and more than 11 million gallons of oil are in the sea. That means that the weight of the oil in the water is just over 40,000 tons (7.29 lbs/gallon). Let's assume it takes only 2 ounces of hay per sq. ft. of oil, which seems reasonable, requiring one pound of hay per eight sq. ft. Six thousand sq. miles of oil is 172,232,755,200 square feet. That will require 21,529,094,400 pounds of hay to absorb. Note that these are billions figures. That amount of hay is 10,764,547 tons. So you're going to transport almost 11,000,000 tons of hay to sea to absorb 40,000 tons of oil. Then, after the hay has absorbed the oil, the oil is still in the water. Only instead of having to deal with (a mere) 40,000 tons of oil alone, you've got to scoop up 10,804,619 tons of oil-sodden hay
