Feinberg still stalling Hood’s lawsuit…

For someone who claims his GCCF process has been “vindicated,” Ken Feinberg is really going through the legal maneuvers to make sure Jim Hood, Attorney General of Mississippi, can’t get a look behind his curtain. The lawsuit, originally filed in Hinds County Chancery Court, came when Mr. Hood asked Feinberg to turn over the records of BP oil spill related claims by workers and business … Continue reading Feinberg still stalling Hood’s lawsuit…

Your Musical Interlude…Dax Riggs, MRB’s, Oysters and Feinberg…

Your Musical Interlude… Dax Riggs – I Hear Satan   Last year, I was hanging out at MRB’s on St. Phillip, primarily because it was one of the few bars I could find in New Orleans that had hockey on their several televisions, but also ’cause back when I lived round town, few years back I was good friends with one of the bartenders, the … Continue reading Your Musical Interlude…Dax Riggs, MRB’s, Oysters and Feinberg…

Kenneth Feinberg “says” things are picking up…well, Ken “says” a lot of things…

Ken Feinberg, in an article from yesterday’s Times-Picayune, reports the pace of payments by the GCCF have improved, sped up and are finally hitting their stride. In the article by David Hammer, it is reported the average amount of final payments have increased, as has the percentage of final payments paid, also, the GCCF has processed 95% of the 300,000 claims that were filed before … Continue reading Kenneth Feinberg “says” things are picking up…well, Ken “says” a lot of things…

Riki Ott, marine toxicologist, weighs in on the Feinberg lie…

In a great article about the GCCF, Riki Ott attacks both Feinberg’s recent declaration that he’s received no health related claims, and also how being the scientist he is, hasn’t seen any scientific evidence of the link between BP and Nalco’s chemicals and Gulf Coast sickness: “Recently Kenneth Feinberg, the lawyer overseeing the $20 billion Gulf Coast Claims Facility to “make it right” for people harmed by the British … Continue reading Riki Ott, marine toxicologist, weighs in on the Feinberg lie…

What do Ken Feinberg and the former IMF head accused of sexual assault have in common?

Answer: They both hired Guidepost Solutions to investigate their victims. When Feinberg decided his “no strings” offer of quick payments for claimants was too, “no strings,” he hired Guidepost Solutions to begin investigating their already paid EAP claims and If the EAP claim was then found to be fraudulent, no quick payment… And when Strauss-Kahn, the now former head of the IMF gets charged with sexually assaulting a hotel maid, … Continue reading What do Ken Feinberg and the former IMF head accused of sexual assault have in common?

Obama Releases the Certificate, Your Turn Feinberg…

Barack Obama finally releases the birth certificate, quelling a distraction to his campaign…and conspirators of the world begun their new narratives…it’s a fake or, if you read between the lines, it admits he worships Allah… Give it time, it’ll happen. And now, it’s Feinberg’s turn. Ken has been claiming all along the reason he can’t pay claims is because claimants aren’t providing the documentation necessary. … Continue reading Obama Releases the Certificate, Your Turn Feinberg…

Agreed Brian, He’s BP’s Defense Attorney…

From a great article by Dahr Jamail: Attorney Brian Donovan, with the Donovan Law Group in Tampa, Florida, believes Feinberg is simply doing what he is being paid by BP to do.   “He’s doing his job,” Donovan says. “Feinberg is a defense attorney representing BP. To think otherwise is being foolish. As a defense attorney, he’s doing a great job for BP. But they are … Continue reading Agreed Brian, He’s BP’s Defense Attorney…

Feinberg fights back? An answer to his answer to the Strange letter…

So, as I commented two days ago, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange fired off an angry letter to Ken Feinberg, the BP paid administrator of BP’s compensation fund outlining several objections he had with the process, chief among them being the snail’s pace and meager size of the payments, the lack of transparency in the process, and the stress this is causing to the citizens of his state. Mr. Strange demanded … Continue reading Feinberg fights back? An answer to his answer to the Strange letter…

By putting ourselves below everyone, we're building in a defense mechanism. Protecting against real engagement. By imagining that no one wants us, that all others are so different from us, we're privileging our own point of view.

Charles Yu

The people in power will not disappear voluntarily, giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flowerpot from a high window.

William Burroughs

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have the chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.

Aldous Huxley

Have a nice day...
