Bonnie barely alive~Wunderblog
~Tropical Depression Bonnie is barely clinging to life. Wind shear of 25 knots and dry air from an upper-level low pressure system over the Gulf of Mexico are taking their toll on Bonnie, which is now just a swirl of low clouds accompanied by a small clump of heavy thunderstorms on the north side of the center of circulation. These thunderstorms are now visible on New Orleans long range radar, and will arrive in coastal Louisiana early this afternoon, well ahead of the center. The Hurricane Hunters are in Bonnie, and have found a much weaker storm with top winds of just 30 mph.

Gulf spill lessons: blog more than goddamn once/month? ~Ecoconnect
~Editilla Hotellas~ We touched up the title there a tad ahem. One of our padnas sent us this one to Editillarant on, but frankly so much has happened in the past month that that is all I have to say about it. Ha! HA! Get off the dipstick folks.
I read the piece, and have No Problem Paying Tax Dollars To Any Scientists to come down here and jump in this Oil Crime. Hell, if we don't snag them for the People's Witness then BP will snatch them up like Expert Candy.
That is a fact as borne out by the sell-out of Ivor van Heerden and his doing blow-job Advomercials downplaying Wetlands Impacts for BP.
I think the Ecoconnects, and the Smart Planets, and the Planetizens need to get off of their Bourgeois Naivete Assitzens and get on top of this Oil Crime! After directing 8 Memphis Earth Day Celebrations from 1990, I'm embarrassed by the Mouse'cockiness of our current Environmentalists Mainstream. These are Not the People who started Earth Day, a day which will live now in Infamy. April 22, 2010. 4/22
What a herd of Fuckless Meeses! Jeezus!
Al Gore got himself a marital problem (and no small amount of family oil stock) and he's off the grid. Sierra Club is less than whining... more like Mewling. Why isn't EVERYONE Crossing 65' Lines Here? Because this country has gone to the Mall in a Hand Basket?
What we've got hea'yah is a fail'yah ta'comoonicate!
What we have here is a grievous blow to the veracity of expert court testimony.
So hell yeah, let's get all the scientists from around the country on the Gulf Coast now. But then again, the rest of the country will find itself dealing with this Oil Crime in their own backyards, physically, really. So maybe we'll need smart people there too paying attention.
But one thing is becoming apparent to me, to wit: if we don't do it as a People, then these preternational corporations are just going to Suck Our Blood.
I'm beginning to wonder if they even need consumers any longer.
Thanks, Meercat! And thanks Natalie Portman As 'Black Swan', Touche!

It's an important distinction because we can't have a private company running our government."

Editilla @skooks In engineering terms he's admitting Failure--just not Catastrophic. Of 56 NO-COE "Events" 8/29/05, only 3 were labeled catastrophic.
~Editilla Twits Out~
I gotta add here, those 3 Catastrophic "Events" were the 17th Street Canal Failure, the London Ave Canal Failure and the Industrial Canal Failure, which indisputably accounted for 80% of the flood water to devastate New Orleans that fateful day.
The word "Event" carries a very specific set of definitions to every engineer I grew up with or have spoken to regarding Failure. Engineers do not like to hear the word "Event". Katrina was NOT the "Event". When an engineer hears the word "Event" they want to know to what degree it involves their engineering.
Engineers that I know simply don't speak in abstract terms about Engineering Failure. That an "Event" contains a Failure of a Structure is not the Question.
The Question is the Degree of Failure, and Catastrophic means FUBAR.

My letter to the President @ whitehouse.gov @ 1 in the forking AM...
Dear Mr. President.
when you meet with PM Cameron on Tuesday please let's not do the reverse bend-over Lord Chamberlain thing, ok?
BP has completely controlled this situation, which has lost you the next election. Yet, if you bow down to this oil crime, as it seems your every action indicates, you can forget about another term in office.
Americans have watched you defer to British Petroleum at every turn of BP's self-created disaster. We are at the mercy of unfathomable threats to our shores. And you have given BP every opportunity to profit at our expense.
But if you bend over and take it from Cameron, then I won't have any respect left for you, and shall fear for the soundness of our democracy.
You have somehow believed your advisers and felt it was OK to go on vacation while the Gulf Coast of Your Country is dying. Wrong. Bad Move that one.
No Golf. No pretty pictures for you until your Nation is protected and healed.
I mean, come on.
You are losing Afghanistan.
You are losing the Gulf of Mexico.
You don't seem to be on the ball with infrastructure jobs either. So, what else do you have to offer but salvation for Wall Street?
What? I'm genuinely confused here.
No Space Program.
No National Rail System.
No Infrastructure Investment to speak of, so what will you do in the next 2 years to salvage your squandered presidency? What?
This oil crime is ridiculous and you need to land on it. Failure here will doom your chances for a 2nd term. Nobody will vote for your handing us over to the British.
Sounds simple, because it is simple. You have nothing else really working for the people. Nothing.
I'm just wondering why you haven't fired these people who have completely ruined your presidency.
If you come down to the Gulf just to SQUAT ON THE BEACH one more time, then I will know you did not receive this letter.
Thank you,
Editilla the Pun
