I've already been embarrassed for decades by my lack of hipness, but what does that have to do with this fart in the wind?

Oddly, he's supposed to be the smart one. I think it's more a matter of being excruciatingly (an interesting word, in context) Xtian.

2 points: 1) Rush Limbaugh loves this guy. 2) Rush Limbaugh has 90% hearing loss. Draw your own conclusions.

Another terrible thing about that awful idea is, the stagnation caused by the barriers would've killed whatever was in the "protected" area more surely than the oil.

Also, it would've required moving vast quantities of foreign dirt/rock/etc. into a sensitive ecosystem. Foreign dirt/rock/etc unavoidably contains foreign fauna too. The foreign fauna on the inside of the barrier would of course have died along with everything else in the stagnant water. The foreign fauna on the outside would, if we were lucky, die also, or if not, become the next prickly pear / cane toad / lion fish / zebra mussel (you get the picture - when we move shit around the planet, we fuck things up real good).
