As the condition of BP’s leaking oil well continues to deteriorate rapidly BP has tried desperately to prevent the Federal Government from monitoring the sea floor for oil and methane leaks.

BP spokesman Mark Salt declined to comment on the … Continue reading Despite Multiple Methane and Oil Leaks From BOP and Sea Floor Feds Allow BP to Risk Uncontrollable BP Gulf Oil Spill Blowout

As promised, a happier story…BP’s Press Release for June 28th

Okay…so I promised a happier story… I don’t want to sound biased, but I read this entire press release, and apparently, things simply aren’t that bad and the response of British Petroleum has been both massive and thorough. In fact, it would appear it has been an unprecedented response for an unprecedented spill with their estimates of 39,000 workers, almost 5000 ships and over a … Continue reading As promised, a happier story…BP’s Press Release for June 28th

Bobby Jindal…Crusading for the Gulf or 2012? Blame games

Interesting article from Alternet…the high points being: 1. Still hasn’t deployed the National Guard. He has over 6000 at his disposal, has only deployed 1100 and continues to blame the feds for not giving him the 6000 he requested… 2. His office approved the oil spill plan he states isn’t effective at cleaning up the oil…but he blames the feds for this too. 3. He … Continue reading Bobby Jindal…Crusading for the Gulf or 2012?

If you’re a Democrat my guess is you might say it’s Bobby Jindal playing politics. If you’re a Republican, you would probably say Obama is lying about the resources available, again. But if you … Continue reading What’s the Problem Gov’nuhs?
