BP says new cap on well fully closed, no more oil leaking into Gulf

BP says oil has stopped leaking into the Gulf for the first time since April.

BP has been slowly dialing down the flow as part of a test on a new cap. Engineers are now monitoring the pressure to see if the busted well holds.

Meanwhile, Eric Holder and his DOJ investigators were relaxing at Napoleon's Bar on Chartres Street in the French Quarter after a busy day of overlooking BP negligence and crimes, reducing levies and drinking whisky and rye.

Secretary Chu, in an attempt to repair relations with his  colleague, Jonathan Katz, whom he was forced to fire shortly after appointment to the Gulf Spill Committee for acute homophobia, invited Dr. Katz to the White House to observe Chu's award of the Presidential Medal of Honor. Unfortunately, the two scientists missed the event after being tied up in traffic due to a gay rights parade.

Former Senator Graham and Co-chair of the President's Oil Spill Commission announced that the third meeting would be held as soon as possible, and apologized for the delay caused by Co-Chair Wm. Reilly's work with Dupont and Conoco.

Yesterday they referred to the well in the Gulf that has been spewing oil for three months as the "runaway" well.

Today, they referred to it as the "stricken" well.

Poor little runaway well.
Poor stricken little baby.

Sarah Palin Wants Levi Johnston To Disappear

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston shocked the world when they announced they were engaged  again. The on-again, off-again couple seemed happy despite Sarah Palin's obvious disapproval of their reunion. It's no surprise considering her future son-in-law has betrayed and bad-mouthed the Palin clan on numerous occasions. According to a Palin insider, Sarah has already threatened him if he ever messes with her family again.

"Levi did everything he could to destroy Sarah and her family. He has accused Sarah of being a bad mother, a bad wife and a bad leader. How can he walk back into their life like nothing happened? He should think again," a Palin insider tells me. "He may have won Bristol back, but he will never gain the trust of Sarah. She doesn't forgive and forget."

But it all comes back to politics. A Republican insider tells me Sarah is worried that her loose-lipped son-in-law will continue to ruin her political career and the public's perception of the Palin family.

Forensic Experts Say Mel Gibson's Rants May Have Been Edited and Pieced Together

PHOENIX--A lawyer for a Phoenix police officer told a federal court Thursday his client could be sued for racial profiling if he enforces Arizona's new immigration law. It is the first hearing in a series of legal challenges filed over the controversial crackdown which has divided law enforcement in the state and across the country.

Officer David Salgado, a 19-year veteran of the Phoenix police department, could also lose his job if he fails to enforce the new law, his attorney said.

Levi and Bristol -- Gunnin' for Reality Deal

7/16/2010 12:10 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin are already looking to bring outsiders into their upcoming marriage -- in the form of a reality TV crew ... this according to a source very familiar with the negotiations.
TMZ has learned the couple has been shopping "multiple reality shows" around town -- some of the ideas involve the couple AND their two-year-old son, Tripp.

We're told the leading concept involves all three people -- and will focus on "parenting issues."

It's unclear if the show would be based in Alaska ... or if Bristol's mom, Sarah Palin, would be involved in some capacity.

BP faced a new outcry Thursday about whether the Scottish and British governments sought to smooth BP's oil exploration contract talks with Libya by releasing prisoners, including the man convicted of bombing the Pan Am plane that went down over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. The bombing killed 270 people, including 189 Americans.

bringing three copies of Shaq-Fu for Genesis, which is one of the worst

If there's interest in the office, we're thinking of holding a Shaq-Fu
tournament- the top three players get to destroy a copy of Shaq-Fu in
whatever manner they deem most pleasing.
