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…

Booming School
I always wondered why boom was always on hand yet never seemed to work. I wonder if there is a dispersant school out there. A few weeks old and NSFW but I’m posting it anyway…
A Stream of Conciousness Post About My Ignorance, Geology, Alien Education, Getting Laid, Getting Fucked (Not The Same Thing) and T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I
I have sort of made it my life’s goal not to know too much about anything. I have always found it best to know a little about a lot rather than a lot about a little. Then I can strike up a conversation with someone, find out what they know a lot about, throw out…

Seen in New Orleans #1

Weather service warns of ‘certain death’ in face of Ike Perhaps the National Weather Service doesn’t understand the word “certain.” To me, it means, there will be no escape. People will all die. There…
Insurrection Starts Wednesday
New Orleans residents told not to return Tuesday, Wednesday I understand this… On Tuesday, only essential city workers and utility personnel will be allowed back in to the city. But if this is true, it is some reprehensible shit… On Wednesday, New Orleans will begin welcoming back what Nagin described as “tier one” companies: retailers…
Broussard: Hawvey Canal OK
Broussard just did an interview at the Hawvey Canal and said he expected it to survive the remaining surge. He patted himself just about every other official on the back for the evacuation and storm response. If he is indeed correct about the surge and nothing furthur happens then I have to say, in our…
