Rolling in like Eliot Ness without a Bodygurad, Koster goes to Waterworld with a gizmo not unlike that of a Tin Cup. Just when it looked like there was No Way Out he found an Upside to the Anger seen in that city JFK once stood. With this gizmo rides the hope that The Big Gulf moves down The Road to Graceland.

How does it work?

Hollywood star Kevin Costner debuted Friday in his supporting role as a Gulf oil-spill fighter.

News agencies reported on the actor's premiere staged at the docks in the oil industry supply port of Port Fourchon in southern Louisiana as BP began deploying 32 of his "dream" machines to separate oil from water.

Costner's backdrop was an oil-finding barge with his machines mounted on the deck. "At its core, my dream, this machine, was designed ... to give us a fighting chance to fight back the oil that's got us by the throat," Costner told reporters.

"When you are in a fight, anybody knows you go to confront it right where it is. You don't wait for it to come to your door," the actor said.

Costner's company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, signed a contract with BP to provide 32 units expected to work in the next 60 days.

BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles would not disclose financial details.
Costner said each machine, called a V20, can separate 210,000 gallons of oily water a day.

Further evidence G-Types have got to go. Private sector would have been on this thing like a pitbull on a poodle.

Heard yesterday they had skimmers out until one of the Coast Guard inspectors shut em down. While they were in port another Coast Guard inspector axed 'em what they were doing there. -- One of your kind told us to be, they exclaimed.

They ended up calling The White House to let the skimmers out. :lol:

PRIVATE SECTOR WOULD RUN RINGS AROUND THESE FOOLS.

More Kostners & ShamWow's - Less bureaucratic idiocy.
