Dead zone off La.-Texas coast to grow (Dead GROWS... EEWW)

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- An area of oxygen-depleted waters off the coasts of Louisiana and Texas could (do you see that word... COULD... we could have had a 15 hurricane season last year...but we didn't) grow this summer to 10,084 square miles, (So what was it before??? 10,083 sm? Can we get some relative comparable facts?) about as large as the state of Massachusetts, to the greatest expanse mapped. (Can we put the state of Massachusetts there? or maybe the bottom part of California?)
That forecast (you forecast water? I think I found a new job... Today, the shower will be hot... coming from the spicket) from scientists at Louisiana State University and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (they couldn't tell a hurricane was coming but they can tell there is parts of the ocean without oxygen?) is based on nitrate loads from the Mississippi River (we told the Mississippi to cut back on carbohydrates and nitrates but NOOOOO). Shelfwide mapping began in 1985. (when they got bored of researching Ants)
R. Eugene Turner, who led the modeling effort, (funded by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) said May is a critical month for (flowers, love and ) influencing the size of the so-called "dead zone," (Now it is a SO CALLED Zone, so what do we really call it?) and that nitrate loading this year was exceptionally high. (all those twinkies)
Turner said in a statement (that he had to write down because he was so mad that the nitrate loading was at such intoxic level) that intensive farming (funded by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT)- including working land for crops used to make biofuels (Funded by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and AL GORE, the inventor of the internet) - has "definitely contributed" to the high rate of nitrogen loading. (Gasp)
