Our New Orleans Saints rally, lift oil-dampened spirits in Plaquemines Parish
~Fans await the arrival of our New Orleans Saints in Buras, La.
~Happy New Orleans Saints fans are reflected in the Lombardi Trophy as Gov. Bobby Jindal and quarterback Drew Brees talk at right during the Saints Rally to Support Coastal Louisiana on Tuesday at the Fort Jackson Wildlife Center in Buras, Louisiana.
“The most important lessons we can take from the Saints victory are two-fold.
First, that with hard work and perseverance, the people of Louisiana can overcome anything.

We are world champions- and nobody can keep us down. And secondly, we’re going to come back better than we were before.”
~Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal

AP finds energy ties in Gulf judges’ financial disclosures
~“Thirty-seven of the 64 active or senior judges in key Gulf Coast districts in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida have links to oil, gas and related energy industries, including some who own stocks or bonds in BP PLC, Halliburton or Transocean — and others who regularly list receiving royalties from oil- and gas-production wells, according to the reports judges must file each year. The AP reviewed 2008 disclosure forms, the most recent available.

BP's Equal Opportunity Screw
~Florida Gov. Crist reminded Fryar that BP paid out $1.5 billion in dividends to stockholders in the last quarter and was ``the fourth largest corporation on the planet.'' He agreed the BP claims process was ``unacceptable'' and demanded that it expand the number of claims offices in the state from 8 to 30, one in each county bordering the Gulf of Mexico.

The Man Behind the (oil) Curtain
-- by Horatio Algeranon

"The oil impacts are overstated"
The pelicans quite overrated.
Van Heerden said to NPR
"The oil doesn't go that far"
"It's on the surface", says PunxsuTony
The scientists are full of baloney
"There are no oil plumes below"
I dove down there myself, you know.
The oil flow is just a leak,
That they are plugging as we speak.
There's really nothing here to see,
"Move on" said the Wizard from BP.



PunxsuTony Hayward just came out of his burrow and did not see his shadow (Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen), which means, of course, that the oil disaster is over.

Hallelujah!!

Do you know of any good non-profits working to take care of the wildlife that's been affected? I can't go down there to help but I would at least like to donate to help. Damn BP.
