The hooker Louisiana politicians can’t keep from their beds…

In the beginning of an important story by American Zombie, he details how Big Oil has two bills in the works which would make it illegal to file lawsuits against oil companies, including British Petroleum. And the Louisiana lawmakers to vote on this? Yes of course, all have ties to oil and gas companies… “Briggs (President of LOGA) would have us believe that there are … Continue reading The hooker Louisiana politicians can’t keep from their beds…

I wonder, did the GCCF’s methodology take into account the opening of the Bonnet Carre?

When Ken Feinberg was fending off criticisms of his methodology, he inferred the process was open to alterations should conditions in the Gulf require it so…well, in the case of the oyster business, looks like we’ll soon find out if that was true because for them, the conditions have changed. With the swelling of the Mississippi River, no doubt many of you are aware of … Continue reading I wonder, did the GCCF’s methodology take into account the opening of the Bonnet Carre?

Now, BP’s being sued for price manipulation…

So, you know about BP’s past year in the Gulf Coast… And you may have heard a little something about their travails in Alaska…that whole thing about being ordered to pay $25 million in civil fines for not properly maintaining their pipelines, which resulted in two additional spills in Prudhoe Bay… Oh, but that’s not all…when your company is this focussed on ethics and safety, you know … Continue reading Now, BP’s being sued for price manipulation…

Just so I’m completely clear on this…

Okay… So you guys start two wars, deregulate the banking industry and the markets… The wars don’t end, the investment banks start manipulating markets with the complicity of the Federal Reserve… Thus, leading to a bunch of bad loans sold as good loans leading to the collapse of the housing market and the near collapse of the banks… The government continues giving tax breaks to … Continue reading Just so I’m completely clear on this…

The GCCF Statistics…What Ken’s editorial doesn’t report…

Ken Feinberg has been getting a lot of flack from people in the Gulf Coast regarding his claims process. The accusations are flying a mile a minute, some of them coming from various members of Congress, the Justice Department and the Attorneys General of Alabama and Mississippi. Apparently having had enough of this, Feinberg wrote an editorial in last Sunday’s Press Register, where he took … Continue reading The GCCF Statistics…What Ken’s editorial doesn’t report…

100,000 Cheri Foytlins…

For over a year now, ever since the oil spilled, the Gulf Coast has suffered from a deluge of promises that have been left unfulfilled. We hear talk of making things right, of actions not words, various members of Congress and a President declare their disgust with British Petroleum but all the same, pass no bills to change the unfortunate status quo and make it any safer. Ken … Continue reading 100,000 Cheri Foytlins…

A check for $14.89…courtesy of the GCCF

Oh yeah…nope, not kidding at all: “If you charter the ‘Searose’ for a day from Dunedin City Marina, you’re bound to catch a bouquet of fish for dinner. Captain Dan Adams, who sits at her controls, says the start to the summer has been good. “We’re right in our season,” explained Adams. But Adams’ small, fishing charter business is still hurting from last summer, when … Continue reading A check for $14.89…courtesy of the GCCF
