NEW ORLEANS — BP says a fire believed caused by lightning has shut down a system capturing oil from a gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP PLC said the fire was spotted around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday on a drill ship called the Discoverer Enterprise. The fire was quickly extinguished.

BP says were no injuries, and all procedures were followed and, as a precaution, a system siphoning oil from a containment cap above the well was shut-down.

BP says the capture operation is expected to resume later Tuesday

Geez its too bad there are no safe LAND sites (*cough*ANWR) where we could drill our own oil and not have to buy it from countries who hate us.

The good news. There is a God.
The bad news. It turns out it is the Old Testament vengeful God and you have made him very very angry.

The Antichrist is upon us and he's he'ppin' out his Acolytes as they seek to destroy America first.

Tonight Obama delivers his master's messages!

Well, lightening and millions of cubic feet of toxic gases...
