The Oil SpillJun 14, 2010
This is an email forward I received today. I searched and found another related article, see the link at bottom. ***** Email Forward ***** First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to m ...

BP Oil Spill Becoming PoliticalMay 26, 2010
I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades. I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. N ...

  Dear MoveOn member, We struggled with whether or not to share this photo, taken of a bird on the beach at East Grand Terre Island, LA on Thursday. It's hard to look at. But we have to face where our addiction to oil has taken us—and this photo brings that home: (Click here if you can't see the image) The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is heartbreaking—but if an image like this can do anything, it can sear into our minds the fact that we need a real plan to get ...

their pocketbooks.   June 10, 2010 Dear Friend, I am a fourth-generation shrimper from the Gulf of Mexico and today I was arrested and charged with unlawful conduct for pouring oil on myself at a Senate Energy Committee. I was protesting Senator Lisa Murkowski's refusal to make BP pay for the disaster that is devastating shrimping communities across the Gulf Coast. Just imagine this: BP can get away with pouring millions of gallons of oil in our seas and I get arrested f ...

So, did the FBI jump the gun because of the Boston bombing? It's being suggested that he's being framed by someone who doesn't like him. The FBI hasn't found a shred of evidence to suggest he sent these letters. So now what? Will they focus on finding the real letter writer/sender, or will they try to "force" guilt/evidence like they did in the Atlanta bomber case?    OXFORD, Miss. — The Mississippi man charged with sending poisoned letters to President Bara ...

BP buys Google, Yahoo oil spill search terms By Hibah Yousuf, staff reporterJune 7, 2010: 6:37 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As BP continues to try to stop the oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the energy giant is also dealing with a public relations nightmare.

Michael Steele To Barack Obama: Stop Playing Golf Until Oil Spill EndsJun 22, 2010
This is sooooo stoopid!!! What do they want the President to do? I guess the President needs to sit at his desk 24 hours/day. After all, he can only handle one catastrophe at a time. I think our President needs to move his office and staff to a boat and park it next to the gusher. Hopefully, that will make people happy. I guess Republicans have forgotten how many days Bush spent at his Texas ranch. Last week, it was an ad. This time, it's a statement from the GOP chairman. O ...
