What does Wisconsin have to do with the Gulf Coast?

In a word? Climate. I’m not talking about environmental climate change, I’m talking about the political climate, the deregulation climate, the climate that continues to sweep through this country and threatens you, the American citizen at your door with not a polite knock, it’s more akin to home invasion, battering rams that splinter the wood with its force until the whole thing smashes in and … Continue reading What does Wisconsin have to do with the Gulf Coast?

Down the Rabbit Hole…

Hey everybody, a couple of days without posting, bit out of character for me but felt the need to take a step back for a couple of days as the rabbit hole I slipped into was feeling a bit deep… That, and the goings ons on Saturday in Wisconsin and nationwide were consuming my attentions…more to say about that coming, including the way they relate … Continue reading Down the Rabbit Hole…

Wall Street…

Yeah…why not? Those days of marching on capitols becoming so passe (in about a week or so), perhaps its time to take this straight to the robber barons themselves, for if the SEC and the politicians are so unwilling to do anything anymore, to smile and hire the investment banker CEO’s instead of put them in prison, all the while they express false empathy and … Continue reading Wall Street…

Would you believe assassins have a union? We do…

Hello again. Yes, I still kill people for a living. And yes, I’m in a union. It’s kind of an off-shoot of the union most US Marshals belong to but we keep it kind of quiet – so that’s all I really want to say about it. Damn. That might even be too much…well, its a risk I’m willing to take and why not? I’m … Continue reading Would you believe assassins have a union? We do…

Really, Obama? No tax breaks for claimants?

Back in the first week of January, I wrote a little something about how the reparation money paid to claimants should be tax free. In the hard times across the Gulf Coast, the last thing people need is to budget 25% of their payment to the IRS, especially people receiving the quick payment: 25% of $5000 dollars to an individual or $25,000 dollars to business. Well, … Continue reading Really, Obama? No tax breaks for claimants?

Being investigated by Guidepost Solutions and the GCCF? The media is listening…

As I wrote a few days ago, a new phenomenon is occurring on the Gulf Coast. Some claimants who have applied for the quick pay from the GCCF, an application the GCCF stated would be automatic for people who had received an EAP and would require no further review, have suddenly found their EAP’s under investigation for fraud. Guidepost Solutions, the investigative arm of Ken … Continue reading Being investigated by Guidepost Solutions and the GCCF? The media is listening…

What do BP, the GCCF, Obama and Gulf Coast Residents Have in Common?

Ain’t nobody paying their bills. Course, there are different reasons for this…shall we review? 1. British Petroleum: “Ricky Myers, who owns Rhino Construction in Bay St. Louis, Miss., said Tuesday that BP contractor O’Brien’s Response Management owes him $650,000 for his company’s work cleaning up beaches and barrier islands after the spill. ‘It seems like the bottleneck or the buck stops at O’Brien,’ Myers said.” … Continue reading What do BP, the GCCF, Obama and Gulf Coast Residents Have in Common?

And now, a word from our sponsors… BP/GCCF/Fed Irresponsibility Version

And now, a word from our sponsors… Landmine Marathon – Shadows Fed to Tyrants The hidden subtext? Obviously… Would it be Feinberg’s plan to delay, delay, delay until the residents of the Gulf Coast are too worn out to fight back against Fed Gov/British Petroleum’s attempt to wash each others’ hands of this mess? It’s just a question… And yeah, good luck with that. Have a nice day. Continue reading And now, a word from our sponsors… BP/GCCF/Fed Irresponsibility Version

Stepping back and looking in…what to do now?

What a week… Lot of news from the Gulf these past few days…so this morning, I kinda stepped back a bit and cleared the mind before taking a look at this whole mess from the outside…especially in light of a reader comment I received yesterday, who asked what people can do to keep the pressure on British Petroleum and the GCCF. But before I get to … Continue reading Stepping back and looking in…what to do now?

It would appear BP’s still runnin’ this show…

A few days ago, I wrote a little something about British Petroleum having the power to make sure people filing claims in the Gulf – quick, interim or final – were treated fairly and generously by Ken Feinberg’s GCCF. Well, it would appear they have decided to exercise that power, for one lucky claimant, and that’s not all…apparently they’ve also given a healthy shove to … Continue reading It would appear BP’s still runnin’ this show…
