Some left wing loon, mcgowanjm/mcclown, predicted millions of people would have to be evacuated from the Gulf Coast due to the massive oil spill and that hundreds of thousands would die. Has the MSM been covering this up? Or has mcclown made an ass of itself once again?
"Exxon claims that they are simply exercising a fundamental right to appeal these damages, a right to which every American individual and company is entitled. This is a core value of our judicial system . . . Legal rights aside, there are very practical reasons for delaying proceedings as long as possible. For instance, in 1998 the Anchorage Daily News reported:
Apparently, delay pays. Exxon is earning $90,000 an hour, about $2 million a day or nearly $800 million a year, on the same $5 billion as long as the case drags on and the money stays in its coffers. As it stands now, if the appeals linger a couple more years, Exxon will have earned enough interest alone to pay the $5 billion plus the accrued interest."
THE US/BP Playbook. Coming to an Ecocided Region near you:
"In short, after the reckless destruction of the ecology and fisheries of Prince William Sound, Exxons legal strategy has resulted in over fourteen years (as of 2004) of costly court deliberations and the denial of the allocation of damage awards to the victims of the spill. The adversarial techniques deftly used by Exxon can be summarized as follows:
1. Retain the best attorneys money can buy and aggressively attack plaintiffs in every manner possible.
2. Hire scientists to collect and analyze data in an effort to debunk damage claims made by independent and/ or plaintiff-sponsored scientists, thus creating reasonable doubt through the selective use of scientific uncertainty.
3. Deny all non-economic damage claims by attacking the credibility of independent and/or plaintiff-sponsored social scientists and preventing this data from being admitted as court evidence.
4. Use biased accounting strategies to overestimate costs to the defendants and underestimate the damages to victims.
5. Hire law professors and other legal scholars to publish legal position papers that support legitimate claims against punitive damages and monitor relevant, ongoing legal cases.
6. Organize a massive public relations campaign that deconstructs what really happened and reconstructs an all clear signal, pronouncing that the spill damages are gone and all victims (ecological and human) have recovered."
You're 'dire prediction' on this topic has been shown to be ridiculous.
Then again, I don't know of a single one you've offered us that has come to pass.
Must be nice. That ignorance of yours. While it lasts.
"We pull up to the beach and hop off the boat on to large grey boulders covered with barnacles and seaweed. We pick our way over the rocks about 100 feet to an open, flat marshy area where a small shallow stream trickles from between the hills on either side, feeding into the Sound. I will find out later that the place Im standing is now known as The Death Marsh, and Diesel Beach. But as I walk along the little spring and my boots begin to squish, and pop out of the spongy muck with a perfect mud-sucking sound effect noise, I have no idea.
Unsure where to go or what to do, I figure our time is limited, so I may as well just pick a spot and dig. so I unpack a small garden trowel from my pack, and I began digging in a spot covered with gravelly sand. About the third shovelful down, I realize that the sand has turned to a strange mud. Its gloppy and sticky and clings together with a slimy looking texture. Its hard to get it off my trowel. I smell something I cant quite place. Water starts seeping in to the bottom of the hole water with a sheen of pink, purple, green, yellow, orange its clearly an oil sheen. I watch it for a moment, stunned. I didnt know what to expect, but for some reason this hadnt been it. I wonder now about the smell, and I pick up a plum-sized clump of mud with the trowel and draw it to my nose to see if I can smell any trace of oil in this marshy sediment. I recoil and gag as the unmistakable smell of petroleum fills my nose, my eyes, my lungs. It wasnt just a swampy smell, Id noticed it was oil, and it was powerful."
Look at that shit over in the BN column to the right.
How much of that will be viable 20 years from now when the Ecocide of the Oil/Corexit smeared GoM is STILL visible to the naked eye.
Death everywhere.

" But, the media event, which included a tour of a local processing facility, may do little to quash the concerns of those skeptical of the fresh catch. When News Five asked the restaurant where today's lunch came from we found out it isn't exactly what BP had promoted.
The crab claws, which were bought from a local distributor, were shipped in from Baltimore, Maryland. The mullet was caught in Florida. The oysters came from Texas and Florida. And, the shrimp, though it is local, was caught before the oil spill, then frozen and served up daily."

"Suddenly, thoughts of the Gulf of Mexico flood my mind. I think of BP telling everyone not to worry that BP does business right. I thought of Exxon, 21 years ago telling the residents of coastal communities in the Sound We will make you whole. This place is not whole. The people of the Sound are not whole. I think of BP covering up the thick layers of oil washing up on the Gulf coast with dump trucks of clean sand so everything will look fine. They spend their energy trying to create another skin, another mask to hide the crime done to another place. They hope that the place will forget, but it wont. I look down into my oily hole. I wouldnt want my children digging on this beach.
I find myself feeling my throat getting tight from the ever-increasing petroleum stench, and from the feeling you get right before you cry. Here I was at my appointment, and the place I loved still held the scars of abuse, of violent crime, of life stolen so long ago. This wound was raw, and toxic and there was nothing left to be done. There were no cleanup crews here, there was nobody doing anything, and nobody would do anything ever, because its done. Exxon said so."
And I'll be here until banned. See Goldi-Lox that zioFundy for details.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8D
"Its time to go, says Morgan, noting that this oil has been here longer than shes been alive. We quickly scoop up some oily water and mud into mason jars that we bought this morning, and we head back to the boat, picking our way over the barnacle-covered rocks. We rinse our boots before boarding, and they leave a sheen in the water. Im glad its time to go. Not only am I feeling more than a bit helpless and overwhelmed, but the smell has given me a headache, and Im beginning to feel nauseated.
I cannot imagine the spill responders back then, and the ones today, working in a far more toxic environment than this, with no respirators, and without adequate protection, day after day, for months at a time. The people who send them to do this work and sign their paychecks dont care if they get sick. And they dont care if they die."
25 Million have had their Auto Immune Systems Compromised. Corexit is designed to be hemorrhagic. Think what happens to that dog drinking antifreeze, then think of the kids playing in the beach on the GoM.
And just a I Don't Know where to Put this Shit New NEWS:
War put up that bee mystery Military joins with Civilians to find that Virus/Fungus is the cause.
And I replied with : BAYER neonicotinoids and THEN as now, I was charged with misleading/off topic resonse. As the TRUTH catches up with the Lie:
"What the Times article did not explore -- nor did the study disclose -- was the relationship between the study's lead author, Montana bee researcher Dr. Jerry Bromenshenk, and Bayer Crop Science. In recent years Bromenshenk has received a significant research grant from Bayer to study bee pollination. Indeed, before receiving the Bayer funding, Bromenshenk was lined up on the opposite side: He had signed on to serve as an expert witness for beekeepers who brought a class-action lawsuit against Bayer in 2003. He then dropped out and received the grant. (10 October 2010)
And while killing the FREE pollination/honey producing bees
(and the Livlihood of the Gulf Coast Creatures;}
These Multinationals have given us Nothing in return:
"But transforming a crop's way of taking up water and fertilizer -- the goal of engineering crops that can withstand drought and use nitrogen more efficiently -- are infinitely more complex. These intricate processes developed through millions of years of evolution. They don't involve a single gene, but rather groups of genes interacting in ways that are little understood.
... From my perspective, what we're seeing is signs that GMO technology is much cruder and less effective than its champions have let on. After decades of hype and billions of dollars worth of research, much of it publicly funded, the industry has managed to market exactly two traits. More devastating still, it has failed on its own terms: it has not delivered the promised dazzling yield gains. (12 October 2010)"
Thing is, its one thing fighting the incompetency of government bureaucracy, but quite another to fight a corporate entity determined to minimize any financial damages to itself, citing its shareholders as the ones to which it must ultimately answer to "
Does that mean you are not inviting BP to dinner? Oh well, BP is probably eating at Chief Fartinthesky's place anyway.
Quit whining about it. It isn't a double standard. It verifies your sources. It helps the reader know you are not making stuff up. It gives proper credit to the author.

National Shrimp Festival starts Thursday in Gulf Shores

GULF SHORES, Alabama -- Interest appears to be strong in the National Shrimp Festival and the celebration could provide a needed boost for businesses after a summer slowed by the oil spill, event organizers said.
The annual festival kicks off Thursday for four days of music, art, seafood and fun on the Gulf Shores Public Beach, Don McPherson, special events coordinator for the Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce, said.
Organizers believe the turnout could reach the 300,000 figure of recent years, he said.
"From what were hearing from a lot of the rental agencies, theyre coming," McPherson said Friday. "With the weather and everything and just the fact that people really want to come back down to the beach, were expecting a good crowd. Were going to have a great festival."
All of the more than 300 vendor spaces have been booked, McPherson said. That total includes 38 food vendors as well as fine arts displays and arts and retail booths.
Zatarain's seasonings is again the main sponsor of the festival. The Alabama Organized Seafood Association is also stepping up its participation as part of efforts to promote Gulf seafood since the spill.
"Theyre doing everything possible to get the word out that the seafood is safe and to encourage people to eat it," he said.
The seafood association is also sponsoring one of the two music stages this year. McPherson said the music lineup for the celebration promises to be outstanding this year.
John Rich, best known as part of the country group Big and Rich, will be the Friday night headliner on the west stage from 8:30 to 10 p.m.
Another featured performer will be Lou Gramm, formerly of Foreigner, who will perform Saturday night on the east stage, McPherson said.
"We were really lucky to get some great acts lined up this year," McPherson said.
Other attractions will include the return of the popular NASCAR display and an Air Force F-16 simulator, allowing participants to experience the feel of flying in the fighter.

He might as well be making shit up by using fookin Mudflats as a credible source! Those leftist assholes make shit up all the time. Mcclown is such a moron.
Big Difference. See, I'm on the Planet's side and so don't have to worry about silly things like consistency and justice.
LMFAO
And about that Evac of the GoM which I said from Day 5 should happen:
1/3 of coastal Alabama population would move to another community if they could 71% say permanent ecological damage to the Gulf October 14th, 2010 at 07:57 PM
Poll: Coastal Alabamians fear oil spill caused permanent damage to Gulf, Press-Register, October 14, 2010:
Yes, mcclown is all of that. Your whackjob liberal twin is an internet coward who makes outrageous claims and allegations. When confronted he hides like a scared little girl!

Does this indicate there was an evacuation, turdbrain?

My dad is on a cruise in the GoM right now. I forgot to warn him. Aruba, Curacao, and Cozumel are three stops that I recall with Miami being his final destination.
Gee, maybe less time offering up personal attacks on the internet, and more time taking care of your family in the 'real world' might be in order, eh freddie?
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.

When was the last time YOU posted about taking care of a family member? LOLOL
Should I tell him I went grocery shopping for the 90 year-old lady yesterday? She's on the mend at home after a spill she took a month ago which cracked some of her ribs FYI.

I hope she's doing better. Don't waste your time expecting any symp from the sociopaths here though. Just look at them as being the true face of the Tea Party.
I've spent more time at hospitals lately too, ferrying friends and family to and from their appts. I don't know why but it seems to be a cancer year.

BE will tell you that when he goes grocery shopping he takes up two handicapped spaces with his hummer, laughing.
