BP is marshaling equipment for an attempt as early as Sunday at a "top kill," which involves pumping heavy mud into the top of the blown-out well to try to plug the gusher. A top kill has been used before above ground, but like other methods BP is exploring, it has never been attempted 5,000 feet underwater. If it doesn't work, the backup plans include a "junk shot"—shooting golf balls, shredded tires, knotted rope and other material into the well to clog it up.

Will be fun when oil covered Top-Flites start washing up on beaches all over the south.

Just watching the latest from Sanjay Gupta and AC on CNN doing their special reporting on the situation. Somehow after the break, they're getting ready to drag Joran Van Der Sloot into this. They're also talking about the human health effects now. If have a feeling BP could be on the hook for a couple hundo Billion after this is all said and done (20 years from now).

They should just bring down hundreds of golfers and give them a bunch of old golf balls and let them tee off. Seems like it would do about the same thing.
Obama could've plugged this thing on day one my just dropping a dozen or so copies of his health care bill into the waters directly above the wellhead.
I do love that this is what it's come to, though. They should have just started throwing golf balls and mud and tires into the hole from the start. Would have been hilarious.
