Barack Obama, British Petroleum, Control the Information, Disenfranchised, Gulf Coast, Oil Spill

Really, can Obama get anything right in the Gulf?

Taking into account that at this point, if Republicans thought they could get Americans to believe Barack Obama lit the gas himself on the Deepwater Horizon, they would…not to mention that we get it, Republicans (and many Democrats) hated the drilling moratorium and are especially hell-bent on proving it wasn’t necessary so they can get their “I told you so” on and argue against new … Continue reading Really, can Obama get anything right in the Gulf?

Barack Obama, British Petroleum, David Vitter, Disenfranchised, Gulf Coast, Macondo Well, Oil Spill

Senator John Cornyn, still an asshole…

Remember last June, when the Macondo Well was still spewing oil, and Tony Hayward appeared at the congressional hearing where Rep. Joe Barton, R-Tx apologized to Tony’s company for the actions of the Obama administrations, suggesting the creation of British Petroleum’s $20 billion dollar escrow fund came only after a White House “shakedown”? Yeah, and then everybody freaked out (even Boehner) and Barton backtracked reporting … Continue reading Senator John Cornyn, still an asshole…

BP’s clean-up refusal: thanks for the metaphor…

When Tropical Storm Lee created a storm surge over Labor Day weekend, the surf brought in a new array of tar balls to some Gulf Coast Beaches. The Alabama communities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, still cleaning up this new oil from the Macondo Well, have requested British Petroleum bring in more beach cleaning machinery to ensure the clean-up is done right. British Petroleum … Continue reading BP’s clean-up refusal: thanks for the metaphor…

British Petroleum, Coast Guard, Control the Information, Gulf Coast, Macondo Well, Oil Spill

I have a sneaking suspicion…

…that this whole Deepwater Horizon thing, the oil spill? Yeah, I think British Petroleum’s to blame. Could be due to the testimony of their own employees: “BP petrophysicist Galina Skripnikova in a closed-door deposition two months ago told attorneys involved in the oil spill litigation that there appeared to be a zone of gas more than 300 feet above where BP told its contractors and … Continue reading I have a sneaking suspicion…

More of the missing oil found…on Fourchon Beach

The aftermath of Tropical Storm Lee continues to demonstrate to people like the Coast Guard, British Petroleum, Ken Feinberg and various members of the Obama administration just what happened to all the missing oil…apparently it’s still below the surface of the water, waiting for the opportunities presented by hurricanes and tropical storms to come up on the beach and say, “Hey guys!” “”In some locations, … Continue reading More of the missing oil found…on Fourchon Beach

Tropical Storm Lee brings more tar balls…

Over the past year, there’s been much speculation about where the oil from the Deepwater Horizon went. Maybe it got disappeared by magical microbes. Maybe it’s all on the sea floor, and maybe more important, if it is on the sea floor (which several studies suggest), what happens if the area gets hit by a hurricane, will the oil resurface? Well, no hurricanes yet, but … Continue reading Tropical Storm Lee brings more tar balls…
