Oil Arrives In Louisiana; Defense Booms Inadequate
eldavojohn writes "People in mainland Louisiana are seeing the beginnings of the oil's full effects on wildlife in the area. Sticky, rust-colored oil covers the reeds like a latex paint, indicating that the efforts to lay miles of floating booms to keep it away from the fragile marshes are useless. They are experiencing what the Plaquemines (mouth of Mississippi River) saw last week, and it now appears that their defenses were inadequate. Only time will tell how much worse it can get as BP still scrambles for a solution. NPR also ran a story critical of Obama's 'scientific approach' that he promised to use in office and how well it's being applied and holding up during this crisis."
But not Halliburton, who made the part that actually broke. Because they're good ol' boys.

Does this help?
The mind conceives, the body achieves, the spirit manifests.
"As a liberal, I am very, very upset with the man I voted for right now."
Bush II never did anything out of character.
Bush Light, OTOH, knew he could do whatever he wished because his base had no alternative but to vote for Change We Can Believe In.
No matter how pissed off they get this will not change in 2012, and it's hilarious. Who expected to be Pwn3d by a Chicago political shapeshifter?
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Clinton managed to balance the budget by cutting the fat
Clinton did that because he was too busy arguing with a GOP Congress to expand Government in a manner beneficial to his base. Do you really think he would have done the same if he had Pelosi and Reid running things? To flip it around, do you really think Bush would have driven our national checkbook into the red if he had to contend with an angry Democratic Congress instead of a sycophantic Republican one?
Divided Government is the only way to go as long as we are stuck with political parties that put duty to party ahead of duty to the country. You are a fool if you don't vote Republican for Congress in 2010.....
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
