Professor: Low pressure reading may suggest well has lost power Okay, so I think I understand this. May not need help from the experts. One possibility is the well may have deflated over time and isn’t as powerful as it once was. Like when you have to pee real bad and at first it all…

Need The Experts Again…
Hopes high for cap on well, but testing delayed Maitri or Clay or anyone else, I’m reading this article and, really, I am skimming the whole thing trying to get to the part about the relief wells, which I have been told over and over again is the “real solution.” So I find them at…
‘Some Claim’
Even though I got all Doomsday last week, there’s nothing like a smattering of bullshit to get one’s head back on straight. I can’t help but post my favorite phrases from this story I read recently. (HT-Kim) The author does use many citations throughout the story but most of them are based on findings that…
UC & BP
I have been meaning to post this since last week… India pledges new aid for victims of Bhopal gas leak It’s 26 years later and it is still being hashed out in court. The human toll of the Union-Carbide disaster was far greater than the Gulf Oil leak but the principles are similar. A foreign-run…

An Analysis of Shit and Fan
In reference to this post at American Zombie I’m beginning to sense that it is the way of government and big business to just let the shit hit the fan and clean up the mess when it flies everywhere than to put a shit cover on the fan … or monitor the room for incoming…

An Exasperated Douglas Brinkley
I have been listening to Tom Ashbrook’s “On Point’ show out WBUR in Boston for a while now. It normally features a range of timely and cerebral topics and Ashbrook and the staff at On Point have been kind to New Orleans over the years. Last week they focused on leadership in the aftermath of…
