Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Local teams in Louisiana will start a cleanup Saturday aimed at protecting coastal marshes while BP continues its efforts to stop oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said that machines would start sucking oil out of marshes Saturday after crews determine where to deploy them.

"We will begin to clean up some of those areas that fell by the wayside for the last couple weeks," he said.

I worry about them...without hazmat suits and proper protective gear, if they do this, many will end up in hospital. I understand and deeply sympathize with their frustration--HOW I wish the marshes could be saved!--but I worry about them doing it on their own.

To our President: “Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar. Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.... oh, go fuck yourself, Mr. President”

To Anthony, unquestionably the most civil person on this forum: “Go fuck yourself. On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you.

To Frem: “You miserable piece of shit.”

...so much for "togetherness"...this, instead, weakens us...

It never was even slightly amusing, but thank you, your gesture is much appreciated. All we can do now is try to minimize its impact until the relief wells can be dug, hopefully by August. I kinda hoped that wouldn't be the case, but was afraid it would.

Hello,

Is it official, then? The top kill failed?

I had hope the other morning, when I saw an image of placid clarity. Now I think the camera was momentarily misdirected. False hope, dashed.

Horribly sadly, Anthony, yes, it's true. I was excited for a brief moment, too. But there may well have never been anything they could do to stop it, it could all easily have been what they did to LOOK like they were trying. After all, the only thing they DO seem to know about drilling is how to DRILL.

We'll probably never know. I just wish it weren't so. There's a long, long road of heavy lifting to be done before this is over. I wish them well.
