The Convenience of the Government’s Numbers

The marshes and wetlands along the Gulf are still covered in crude. Surprised? Don’t blame you with all of the information that has been coming from British Petroleum, the federal government and the mainstream media outlets, but In Pass-A-Loutre, Louisiana, oil still clings stubbornly to marsh cane, and each day’s high tide picks up the goo and leaks it back into the ocean “I’m losing … Continue reading The Convenience of the Government’s Numbers

Traces of Corexit Washing Up On Alabama Beaches?

BP and the Coast Guard used Corexit in unprecedented numbers in the Gulf of Mexico. The dispersant is designed to bond with the oil and sink the mix of chemical and crude deep, far away from shore and while this is indeed happening, depleting the oxygen and poisoning the lowest rung of the food chain on the sea floor, unfortunately it is also beginning to now wash … Continue reading Traces of Corexit Washing Up On Alabama Beaches?

A funny thing has happened in the Gulf of Mexico these past couple weeks…that oil spill? It’s over, the oil spill is more or less over, all taken care of so you can switch the channel now. The fisherman will be back at work soon, the oil isn’t in the marshes, it’s not on the beaches and it certainly isn’t flowing out of the Macondo … Continue reading Wanna know a secret?
