Gov. Bobby Jindal said the sand berm the state built in front of the Chandeleur islands has stopped oil from going farther inland. On Friday, the governor said Louisiana National Guard troops had collected 500 pounds of oiled debris on the sand berm. The governor said a dredge had renewed work on the berm after bad weather and high waves battered Louisiana in recent days. Environmentalists and coastal scientists have questioned how well the sand berm would work. They say it will be washed out quickly and do little to stop oil. Also, Jindal is pushing for more coastal defenses, such as rock barriers and sand barriers. He says Lafourche Parish -- in places like Grand Isle, Port Fourchon and Caminada Pass -- is in need of more defenses.

Let's hope the magic Kenyan stays on the golf course, and out of Louisiana's business.
Padlock wants him off the golf course and in a frogman suit plugging the hole.
Interesting to note our resident leftwingers are almost giddy thinking this won't work on the other thread. Pathetic losers.

Pathetic losers. Apparently badeye now likes make-work programs paid for by money gained from private companies via shake-downs by government.
Don't bring a tarball, to a buldozer fight!
Another demonstration of you adding nothing to any site you post at freddie. Hell, you can't even be original in your laughable personal attacks.
