I used my speed square to dig around and reveal these large mats of tar and oil on Pensacola Beach in the National Park - Barring a miracle this weekend this may be the last of my regular reporting for awhile... I have to figure some things out and the promises people have made aren't coming through.

Please make sure people know that the entire island here from the Pensacola Pass through Navarre Beach still has oil under the sand and it is not getting cleaned up because of the "no digging" policy.

Gregg

***********
Any coincidence clean-up ends the same day drilling moratorium is lifted? Are we that stupid? Will anything ever be done now? BP got exactly what it wanted--resumption of drilling--and gave the people of the Gulf the shaft in return. Why do I suspect no more clean-up, no more payouts on claims, no more responsibility on the part of BP? This is exxon valdez in margaritaville. Welcome to corporate rule. Thank Mary Landrieu. WHORE.

1. Apology for calling a fellow Democrat a whore
Edited on Fri Oct-15-10 04:47 PM by Generic Other
I really meant to say FUCKING WHORE. Carry on.

"Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat, has led the charge against the drilling ban, announcing three weeks ago that she would block the nomination of Jack Lew to White House budget director until the moratorium was lifted."

Mary Landrieu Continues to Give the White House a Headache

And yes, I know that the oil industry has her by the sHort and curlies since they pay-to-play, but how lame can you get? So she can get a few bucks and votes, she sacrificed everyone. Selfish stupid shortsighted numbskull. Play hardball with her party at every turn, but kiss the smarmy asses of BP execs like she's eating caviar and give us all her shit eating grin!! WHY WHY WHY do we allow shitfucks like her to put a "D" after her name? WTF?

I had hope with the moratorium that the environmentalists had some leverage to force the oil companies to deal with the clean-up in good faith. What a joke. Who cares about doing the right thing when you just need to buy the right people.

I guess it is obvious I am angry? Apologies to those who find my sentiments crude.

I would give anything to be able to dump some BP oil over this slattern's head just about now!!!

6. Pensacola Gregg says he has been pressured to quit reporting
He lost his job at a dealership for continuing to post to Youtube back in June. He has continued to post all the while being harassed by BP and those promoting Pensacola tourism as safe. He's out of money and has to go back to work. I don't think he'll be posting daily henceforth. I sent him money because I appreciate what he did do. It's tough that the environmentalists raise pennies for every dollar BP spends.

Gregg feels like he lost the PR war. I hope people will donate if they can. He needs every penny!
