Mirela Monte has become my one-stop source for news from the gulf oil spill.  That's because her news comes from the people living in it, not the corporate spinners that spew their lies on the news.

This video and the song grabs your heart and really gets your attention.  I wouldn't have re-posted it if I did not think it was important for you to see!

BP's Coming to Take Good Care of You...  A Fisherman's Ode to the Oil Spill


Leonard Scott sent me a song after reading some of my blogs.  He wrote it and performed it on his guitar. Listening to his weathered, raspy, fisherman's voice, punctuated by the irony of his words... It was so good, I just had to make a video for it and write a blog about it.  Leonard, great job!  I can't get your song out of my head!

This song says it all. It is written and performed by one man, but it might as well be Louisiana's voice... BP's coming to take good care of you...

When there is no problem we are all hearing that the sky is falling. Now that we have a real problem we fail to do anything. What is wrong with this picture???? Well maybe something else is going on. The party that said they wanted to hug trees and save our coast line do not care at all. Day 56

You are going to appreciate this Tim, I just e-mailed Mirela's link to FoxNews.  I have NEVER done something like that, but I thought it was news-worthy.  I'd love to see them pick it up and help it go viral!

I don't usually watch the show, but I watched Mike Huckabee last night on Fox News and there were some good ideas (non-toxic) on how to clean up the oil spill by American inventors, and some had material ready and willing to go. I am amazed that none of this help has been deployed and that we are relying so much on BP. Why can't we start cleaning up before the oil hits the shores? I don't understand what our government is waiting for? Why day 56 and no resolution? All I hear is we are going to try to contain more later...when does the leak stop. What is BP doing? I am saddened by those animals who are suffering or who have been harmed.

Sure they are! Just like Exxon took care of everyone up in Alaska. With Exxon off my list and now BP, I guess I will have to buy a Volt or a Leaf. I'm running out of oil companies to deal with...

I heard that too Tamara; that there are dozens of ideas that BP is not even trying.  Shameful!

Subscribe to Mirela's blog Randy.  She talks about this A LOT.

I know what you mean Michael, I want to find a graph that explains who owns what company!

Here's your sugar Richie!

I hope Fox picks it up, Vic. I need to read her blogs as well. BP is completely out of touch with anything but figures on spreadsheets but they are getting the mother of all wake up calls. I've been seeing that their gas stations are closing down.

This takes me back to 89 and the Valdez disaster. I would watch the oil covered animals and just cry my eyes out. Now, same thing.

Me too Candice.  I don't think it is getting enough media attention.  Maybe if this video goes viral, that will get more attention.

It is called taking responsibility that these folks are having trouble dealing with. They need to step up and take responsibility.

Isn't that the truth Evelyn.  I saw part of the Senate hearings and it was incredible.
