~Environmental groups are asking the federal government to take over all monitoring and testing related to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.Oil has been spewing since an offshore drilling rig leased by oil giant BP PLC exploded off the coast of Louisiana April 20 and sank two days later.
In remarks prepared for congressional testimony, National Wildlife Federation President Larry Schweiger says BP is keeping too much information from the public.

~Meanwhile, oil washes up on shore as Louisiana governor says he was unable to get funding for an emergency retaining wall.
The Obama administration, it appears, has higher priorities ... namely helping BP in its frantic efforts to keep the public in the dark about what is almost surely the worst environmental catastrophe in U.S. history.
Contacts in Louisiana have given me numerous, unconfirmed reports of cameras and cell phones being confiscated, scientists with monitoring equipment being turned away, and local reporters blocked from access to public lands impacted by the oil spill. But today CBS News got it on video, along with a bone-chilling statement by a Coast Guard official:
"These are BP's rules. These are not our rules."
~Editilla gotta axe~ They Can't Handle Da'Twoof?
Somebody want to get Incident Commander Triple Rear Admiral Thad Allen on the Horn here? Uuhhmm, or the Commander in Chief? Hey Youz Guys, in upholding your oath to protect the integrity of the US Constitution and our Shores, you're restricting Freedom of Our Press by Order of the Fucking British?
Am I getting this right, Admiral? You and Your US Coast Guard now Take Your Orders from a PreterNational Corporation?
Or, are you a Patsy Who Bends Over For Just Any Old Queen?
What the Hell? Can Anyone Answer This Question about US Sovereignty and the reach of our present day canon?
Has BP taken over the US Coast Guard and Bitch-Slapped Admiral Thad Allen into Line the same way they took over the operations on pulling the well --igniting this BP Ass Fuck?
Somebody want to weigh in here? Set poor Editilla straight?

Oil Slick Enters Loop Current
~Gulf Restoration Network
~NOAA is confirming that part of the oil slick has entered the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico. The Loop Current transports warm Caribbean water between the Yucatan and Cuba northward into the Gulf of Mexico, and then loops to the southeast towards the Florida Keys (eventually meeting up with the Gulf Stream). It's also one of the fastest moving currents in the Atlantic Ocean.FleurtyGirl Just heard from @AudubonZoo. They just successfully rescued their first sea turtle from #oilspill. A baby!

~This WWL story from the same broadcast wonders if the Federal response to the leak "feels like deja vu" with regard to the flood of 2005. Yeah a little.
Although I guess BP would tell you they're pretty satisfied with the service they've gotten to this point.

Inventors say BP ignoring their oil spill ideas~A suggestion box or publicity stunt? BP has received thousands of ideas from the public on how to stop the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but some inventors are complaining that their efforts are getting ignored.

~The Gulf oil spill is already being described as the biggest environmental disaster in US history—and it doesn't look like it will get plugged any time soon. Louisiana is in a state of emergency as millions of gallons of oil have poured into the ocean since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank on April 22. Attempts of slowing down the oil flow have thus far been unsuccessful. The oil spill has hit Louisiana shores, threatening the environment and moving further down the coastline. Here is a collection of some tragic images of the Gulf oil spill shoreline damage from May 17th.~Inscribed in the oil at the mouth of the MS River, near Venice,La by a Greenpeace activist.
