Photoshopped!!!

jk

Seriously, though, here's the important line: "The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined". Also: "Other recent mass fish kills have been attributed to low levels of oxygen in the water".

The last sentence is pure editorializing.

I'm not defending BP on this, I'm just not jumping to conclusions before anything is known like Brian Merchant did.

Seeing as how the regulations on the books were swept aside and bribery and corruption came from regulators, I'd start with the government on the blame game first and then work down. It looks like regulation fell into corruption. And some want more regulation...which would result in more corruption and more disasters.

This is the sentence that I was referring to: "It's just another reminder -- as if we needed another one -- that the BP spill is far, far from over."

It may well turn out that the fish kill has absolutely nothing to do with the oil spill, and making the connection before the facts are know is speculation, not reporting.

I do admit that anything with the name Discovery or Tree Hugger on it raises my BS radar immediately.

I'm still bitter about being fooled by hippies and they're principles for part of my youth. :)

Wow. I have not seen that spin yet.

I thought bribery was a two way street???

It is interesting that the Father of American Regulation, James Landis, would spend time in jail for tax evasion.

Spin? It's your side calling for more regulation which the regulators have as much a hand in this as anyone. If the regulations on the books would have been enforced, there is a good chance this final result would not have happened. Bribery is a two way street. I never said differently. But there is a problem when the "force" that is put in place to oversee and help prevent this becomes corrupt and a good part of the problem itself. There is a greater problem when the response is for more regulation when what was there didn't even do its job. The argument is not about actually enforcing what exists. It's about lumping on more that is subject to more bribery and corruption.

Typical liberal response. Muck it up with more red tape that causes more problems.

Yeah. Let's ban offshore drilling for the US in the Gulf but fund Mexico's expansion there. Makes total sense.

Obambi is a jewel all right and some lick his crap like it was Mexican goat cheese ice cream.

Don't forget the $10 b in guaranteed loans to Brazil for deep water drilling in as much as 23,000 ft Atlantic waters.

Before the Obama ban, there were twenty four countries drilling in the gulf, now there are twenty three.

The latest, just this week has Obama demanding that all American non-producing wells be plugged and all non-productive rigs be dismantled, even though their leases are still active and fees currently paid and the companies may want to use them later for more drilling, rusumed production or support for other sites.

If malfunction junction (primarily democrats) had not been blocking American domestic oil production and refining for the past 35 years or more, our economy wouldn't be in such bad shape, our balance of payments wouldn't look so horrible and the Saudis wouldn't be able to influence American foreign and domestic policy to the great extent they do, including funding islamic taqiyyah based studies programs in Ivy Leagueer schools from which Washington draws it's primary rank of rulers of economic and environmental policy.

Then too there are 800+ Saudi funded imams spewing their vile hatred form of wahibbist islamic theology in mosques all across America.
