The Backlash Begins

Obama on the Beach

Good to see him finally showing up.

Obama Steps Up

It's about time. BP dropped the ball on this one.

BP Has Failed

Their efforts to stop the oil have been dismal. BP should face hefty fines for this failure. It's been over a month.

Absolute wildlife nightmare created by this oil spill

Obama on the Oil Spill

I'm glad that Obama is taking a hard stance on this. I hope they continue to make progress in protecting the environment, though I believe the extent of the damage has been blown out of proportion.

The Oil Spill Is Getting Dome

The skinny:

PORT FOURCHON, La. — A 12-man crew was making final preparations Wednesday to take a 100-ton contraption 50 miles off the Louisiana coast in an unprecedented attempt to help funnel out oil spewing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

The giant-concrete-and-steel box is the best short-term solution to bottling up the disastrous oil spill that threatens sealife and livelihoods along the Gulf Coast.

What did you think I meant by dome?

BP Spill Up

Fisherman just want to work.

Not Your Ordinary Spill

Weather Delay: Oil Clean Up

This is not good with the rig leaking a lot of oil every day.

Sure to Be Blown Out of Proportion

This is sure to be blown out of proportion, pun intended:

NEW ORLEANS — Coast Guard officials said Monday afternoon that the oil spill near Louisiana is now covering more than 1,800 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico, and they have been unable to engage a mechanism that could shut off the well thousands of feet below the water’s surface.

You know environmentalists will capitalize on this.
