Makes some great points...including encouraging people to book a fishing trip with local NOLA guides to help the folks most affected by the gulf tragedy.

2. Can't answer that..but Spike Lee was there filming the whole thing...

and the Times_Picayune has it...Some said they saw coverage on NBC, but I don't know if it was just the local affiliate or not...

Very dynamic delivery and well written.

We need people like this in government. Perhaps this will launch a political career.

But in these days, politics corrupt. It takes a person with a strong character, a strong sense of right and wrong, deep concern for the common people and the environment to stand up to the amoral campaigns by the corporation-bought entities to bring down anyone who threatens their absolute rights to make profits at the expense of all of us.

I'd send money to his campaign for governor, if he chooses to run.
