    On FoxNews tv, they just reported that the top kill is working and it has stopped the flow of oil. Checking elsewhere for confirmation. This would be some great news.

    It's not a success until they put in the cement plug.

    Right, but at least the TK is working so far. Remember, they were scared the mud might create more leaks. I'm looking for any good news I can find on this thing.

    Me too, but I can't allow myself to get excited until a billion officials give us the word that it worked. ;)

    It's a bit premature to call it a success. It currently looks promising, but as Grad pointed out until the damn thing is plugged I won't consider it a complete success. And I am awaiting to hear from another source besides Allen.

    Yeeah the government wants it to be over so they don't have to do anything ( well continue to do nothing would be more accurate ). I'll wait until there is cement in the hole before I start high fiving! Imagine if Obama would have carried Louisiana, we'd have thousands for government workers at the coast trying to keep the oil out of the marsh and helping in the cleanup.
