Louisiana gives up on oil spill...

In a depressingly unsurprising turn the good and the great of Louisiana have decided that since nothing they have tried has stopped the oil leak from the deep water horizon well they should now turn to imaginary magic men in the sky. Here we see the true function of religion, i.e. when all else fails, make woo woo. That way you can feel good about yourself even though you are doing nothing.

The good senator (Robert Adley) should pack up a picnic basket and head down to the coast with a teaspoon, picking up that much oil will achieve more than his pointless "day of prayer".

I wonder what this pelican would prefer his human overlords to do?
