I don't know if WAFB is a legitimate, credible news source, but I assume
it is; it was linked on Drudge, and Glenn Beck mentioned it while I was
preparing this. Apparently another Oil Rig has exploded in the Gulf of
Mexico. Another excuse to shut down domestic oil drilling.

Am I failing to remember multiple oil rig explosions in the Gulf of
Mexico in years past? Help me out here, fellow Principled Patriots!
Honestly, I don't remember this sort of thing happening this often until
BHO moved into the White House.

Who wants to bet against the fringe environmentalist left pushing for a permanent moratorium on oil drilling?

I don't know about you, but I want more information about this
incident, and considering the environmentalists who stand to gain from
such events, it should be thoroughly investigated.

Sadly, since it's 90 miles south of Vermilion Bay, it's not in water
over which Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has clear jurisdiction.

Will any organ of the Federal government do a proper, thorough investigation?

Here's the story:

Everyone is accounted for. Officials are reporting one injury.

The injured worker is being taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center.

Rescue choppers from New Orleans and Houston are responding.

The explosion happened around 9:30 a.m. and as of 10:30 a.m. it was still on fire.

Coast Guard officials said they do not yet know if there is any type of leak associated with this explosion.

They said it was not actively producing product, but they will
investigate whether there is any type of environmental impact.

The rig is known as "Vermilion 398."

The rig is owned by Mariner Energy, which is based in Houston.
