How best to fight the oil? Umm, I dunno, and it seems BP/NOAA trying to keep it that way…

So, let’s take a look at a few recent headlines, shall we? From the Tri-Parish Times, tar balls are again seen coming ashore on Elmer’s Island. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade’s Peter Brabeck, an environmental monitor, spotted the new oil deposits and called them “the worst instance of oil contamination since the BP oil spill.” From the newsstar.com, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries expert said … Continue reading How best to fight the oil?

EPA and NOAA Ignoring Gulf Coast Questions

In a disappointing but effective article by Aljazeera, Gulf Coast residents and scientists discuss their trials with the EPA and the NOAA in which they continually try to get the attention of the two agencies to address their ongoing health questions about the toxicity of the oil and the dispersants many believe continue to be used in the Gulf. Time after time the EPA and … Continue reading EPA and NOAA Ignoring Gulf Coast Questions

The Head, It Spins…

In a quick perusal of the news this morning…and yesterday for that matter, I felt like a boxer taking punch after punch…and I gotta say it, I’m aggravated and disappointed, yet at the same time, more comfortable and secure in the correctness of my views that the government doesn’t care about anything but corporations and what they believe they can get away with, the problem with wilileaks … Continue reading The Head, It Spins…

An Open Letter to the Tea Party of Louisiana…

Hello, My name’s Drake. I trust things are treating you well? Good, me too. Don’t worry, this letter won’t be too long but before I get into a couple of things, I feel it is important to tell you a couple of things about myself as they will become pertinent a bit later on. First of all, I’m on the high side of my thirties … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Tea Party of Louisiana…

Good News and Bad News…

What say you…good news first? Okay, the good news: British Petroleum, in compliance with Judge Barbier has given their official decision on whether they will or will not seek to use the $75 million dollar liability cap as a way to contain the financial bleeding. They have opted to fulfill at least one promise and not use the cap. They will pay all judgments made … Continue reading Good News and Bad News…

NOAA, EPA Says 40 Fold Increase in Gulf Carcinogens is Safe

Okay, so maybe they didn’t say that directly, but what else are we to assume if these two agencies, designed to protect and inform the American electorate tells us the water and air in the Gulf of Mexico are safe despite independent testing by Oregon State University that shows this dramatic elevation in PAH’s? And yes, exposure to some of these Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons have … Continue reading NOAA, EPA Says 40 Fold Increase in Gulf Carcinogens is Safe

FDA, NOAA Still Not Testing for Heavy Metals or Dispersants in Gulf Seafood

Federal officials and the Obama administration have maintained for well over two months now that all is safe in the gulf: no serious food contamination, no significant risk to air and water quality, no long-term health risks. And all this seems well and good so long as you only ask the government’s scientists. Asking elsewhere, one gets an entirely different story, and from such notable … Continue reading FDA, NOAA Still Not Testing for Heavy Metals or Dispersants in Gulf Seafood

Bobby Jindal, Control the Information, Oil Spill, Supression of Science

Having it Both Ways

Tired from watching last night’s game, but this is the kind of political hypocrisy that drives me crazy so I just gotta note: When opening up the waters off the Louisiana coast for fishing, Bobby Jindal can’t find any oil. When making the argument to finish his sand berms, Bobby Jindal and Garret Graves can not only find the oil, it’s everywhere and will be … Continue reading Having it Both Ways
