Not stall, baby, stall.� That was met with shouts of approval from the crowd. �You betcha,� she said. �Yes. Drill, baby, drill.� ] http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/41971 [ Eight years of "Drill, baby, Drill," during the Bush administration got us exactly where we are now � in trouble and dependent on foreign oil. ] http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/top/all/6968275.html "Evacuated workers sought after oil rig explosion" [ NEW ORLEANS � Authorities were searching for missing workers early Wednesday who evacuated after an explosion at an oil drilling platform off the coast of Louisiana. The explosion happened around 10 p.m. Tuesday, 52 miles southeast of Venice, La., while 126 workers were aboard the platform, Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Mike O'Berry said. No deaths were reported, but O'Berry said there were some injuries. He did not know how many. O'Berry also said four helicopters, four Coast Guard boats and a plane were helping search for some workers who were unaccounted for Wednesday. "We're hoping everyone's in a life raft," he said. At the same time, fire boats were still battling the fire at the oil platform, called Deep Water Horizon. "It's burning pretty good and there's no estimate on when the fire will be put out," O'Berry said. ]
