ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!SPILL BABY SPILL This is BAD, people. REALLY BAD. 1989 Exxon Valdez BAD. Yeah so where are the so-called Teabaggers NOW in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida and Louisiana? You know, the ones that don't want no gummint "interference" in health care or "bizness" or "regulatory control" or "rasin' taxes" for "socialist" programs like the EPA? Piyush "Bobby" Jindal speaks for them: "I spoke with Secretary Napolitano (aka The FEDS. -Ed.) this evening to outline the state’s needs as we brace for the impact of the oil spill on our coast. We appreciate the efforts to date of the Coast Guard and BP as the lead parties. As the oil spill comes closer to our coast, we have asked for additional resources from the Coast Guard and BP as we work to mitigate the impact of the spill on our state." and Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports in U.S. Gulf States Mobilize for Valdez-Like Oil Spill (Update4) "Jindal, a Republican, also requested federal funding for 90 days of military duty for as many as 6,000 National Guard troops and demanded extra oil barriers from BP and the U.S. Coast Guard to protect wildlife reserves that nurture a $1.8 billion seafood industry, the richest in the U.S. behind Alaska. Shrimpers and fishermen filed suit in federal court on April 28 against BP and Transocean Ltd., owner of the sunken rig. The lawsuits say Louisiana supplies 25 percent of the seafood for the continental U.S." Last year in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on offshore energy production David Rainey, Vice President for Gulf of Mexico Exploration at BP America said improved drilling technology allows oil companies to search for supplies in an environmentally friendly way: "These advances enable more production while reducing environmental impacts and allowing for efficient use of existing facilities and infrastructure...Finding oil and gas for the future requires exploring in areas that are ever deeper and more complex." (see Reuters). How's that working out for ya, Mr. Rainey? So BP now is trying to burn the oil or use a "dispersant". ProPuiblica reports in Chemicals Meant To Break Up BP Oil Spill Present New Environmental Concerns, "On Thursday BP began using the chemical compounds to dissolve the crude oil, both on the surface and deep below, deploying an estimated 100,000 gallons...The exact makeup of the dispersants is kept secret under competitive trade laws, but a worker safety sheet for one product, called Corexit, says it includes 2-butoxyethanol, a compound associated with headaches, vomiting and reproductive problems at high doses. “There is a chemical toxicity to the dispersant compound that in many ways is worse than oil,” said Richard Charter, a foremost expert on marine biology and oil spills who is a senior policy advisor for Marine Programs for Defenders of Wildlife and is chairman of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council. “It’s a trade off – you’re damned if you do damned if you don’t -- of trying to minimize the damage coming to shore, but in so doing you may be more seriously damaging the ecosystem offshore.” Surprisingly BP did not respond to requests for comment for ProPublica's article! Raw Story posts an AP article Gulf oil spill swiftly balloons, could move east that explains, "...the spill should eclipse the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident as the worst U.S. oil disaster in history in a matter of weeks. But a growing number of experts warned that the situation may already be much worse. "The spill and the spreading is getting so much faster and expanding much quicker than they estimated," said Hans Graber, executive director of the university's Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing. "Clearly, in the last couple of days, there was a big change in the size." ... As bad as the oil spill looks on the surface, it may be only half the problem, said University of California Berkeley engineering professor Robert Bea, who serves on a National Academy of Engineering panel on oil pipeline safety...Louisiana State University professor Ed Overton, who heads a federal chemical hazard assessment team for oil spills, worries about a total collapse of the pipe inserted into the well. If that happens, there would be no warning and the resulting gusher could be even more devastating because regulating flow would then be impossible." WOW. There's plenty more coverage at BTV regulars PBC, ROF, Max, GRITtv and Democracy NOW! So of course the WH Limo drops off the usual suspects JANET NAPOLITANO and KEN SALAZAR at FAKE Snooze, This Tapper & State of Candy. Then the rest folllow up with various Gulf State poo-bahs like FL GOV CHARLIES CRIST on Meet the David, Face the Bob with Rep. CHARLIE MELANCON (D-La), Sen.

Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

• Riot Police Clash with Greek Protesters Over Austerity Measures Stacy Summary: Riot police clash with Greeks protesting austerity measures. Coming to a city near you? By the way, these riots are unnecessary; the Greeks should default on these bonds that are unpayable and let the French and German banks eat the losses on their bad investments. That’s capitalism. And the sooner the global zombie debt pile is set alight, the sooner we can get on with rebuilding our economies and financial systems.
• Drill, Baby, Drill, Dead in the Water as Obama Puts Hold on all New Offshore Projects Stacy Summary: Oops. Drill, baby, drill, dead in water. Four weeks ago, Obama reversed campaign promise and approved offshore drilling, today he is putting all projects on hold. Update: Morgan Stanley pays $14 million to settle accusations of hiding complex oil trades. There is that word ‘complex’ again and yet again (as per the banana republicanization trend) a select group of oligarchs get to ’settle’ claims without having to admit guilt or face any real consequence.
• Max Keiser on Athens International Radio – 23 April 2010 – Greece & the IMF Stacy Summary: Max interviewed by Helen Skopis on Athens International Radio about Greece turning to the IMF.
• [KR38] Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal! – & Max Fraad Wolff Stacy Summary: In this episode, we look at the scandals of bailout buffets for Too Big to Fail banks; selling complexity to very profitable unsophisticated investors; the IMF is ‘there to help Greece’ . . . in a Dr. Kervorkian kind of way. In the second half of the show, Max interviews economist Max Fraad Wolff about US government debt.
• Keiser Report – Markets! Finance! Scandal! – & Max Keiser! Stacy Summary: We look at a handful of the many Goldman Sachs fraud metaphors; the scandals of what the US bankers, regulators and government knew about Repo 105 before it helped take down Lehman Brothers, and of President Clinton’s big mistake on derivatives. In the second half of the show, Stacy interviews Max Keiser, in virtual Hollywood, about the box office futures market. (p.s. – this is the last episode with this graphics package; from next episode we will have a total new look!)
• Handcuffs for Timmy? If So, Can A Presidential Pardon Be Far Behind? Stacy Summary: The blogosphere is abuzz with hope that Barofsky intends to perp walk Timmy out of the Treasury building. No doubt, as with all banana republics, a presidential pardon would prevent any justice from actually being served.

• Scott Horton interviews David Paul Hammer (mp3) 78:07 May 1, 2010. Death row inmate David Paul Hammer, author of Deadly Secrets: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing, discusses the mysterious “Major” and “Poindexter” characters that Timothy McVeigh claimed help instigate and advance the Oklahoma City bombing plot, Andreas Strassmeir’s role in leading the Aryan Republican Army’s military wing, why McVeigh believed that his execution would be faked – and therefore didn’t want an autopsy, Hammer’s claim that FBI agents offered him a life sentence in exchange for holding back his book, the strict limitations on media interviews of death row inmates despite court decisions allowing them, the FBI PATCON plan to infiltrate and discredit right-wing militia movements in the 1990s, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s connection to Elohim City informants and why John Does two and three were most likely Richard Guthrie and Michael Brescia. - fauxnews
