I digs P so I was happy to get my hands on this new download “Snow” which he performed live at UGHH last month.
This vid says “Snow II” but the audio is “Snow” and either way he flipped this Roc Marciano track with the Jay Electronica spin but it’s a crying shame it’s so short. (more…)
Dawn soap works best for cleaning birds–who knew?” ~ Brian Merchant, treehugger.com
Obama’s oil slick is spreading while BP execs come up with ridiculous ideas and oil gushes at a rate now being estimated by some scientists as 70,000 barrels of oil a day. The cleanup is going to be extensive though a lot of damage has already been done to the environment there.
It’s been 21 years since the notorious Exxon Valdez oil spill dumped over 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound, Alaska. That is also considered by some as a low estimate.
The oil soaked birds in particular became the icons for the destruction cause by that ecological disaster. (more…)
The lesson for Florida’s legislative leaders is that it’s not a matter of ‘whether’ there will be another accident or spill but ‘when,’ …
If Tuesday’s oil rig accident happened in the same exact manner, within 3 to 10 miles of our coast, it’s very likely that we’d have pictures of oil soaked coastlines splashed on front pages and televisions across the country.” ~Mark Ferrulo of Progress Florida
An oil spill caused by an explosion of the off shore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon last week off the coast of Louisiana has grown to cover 1,900 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico. Rig operator BP and the coast guard are struggling to contain the spill which is expected to reach the Gulf Coast shoreline, probably in a matter of days.
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. Eleven workers out of the 126 on board are presumed dead.
Before this spill Florida governor Charlie Crist was a supporter of oil drilling off the shore of Florida. The oil tanker is spilling 42,000 gallons a day which is less than the amount the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska leaked but many who are looking at this incident are getting turned off to the fossil fuel.

Years ago Alaska “belonged” to Russia then the United States “bought” it from Russia for $7.2 million on this day, March 30, in 1867. Initially the purchase wasn’t received well. Critics of President Andrew Johnson’s Secretary of State William H. Seward called the largely unexplored territory “Seward’s folly,” “Seward’s icebox,” and Andrew Johnson’s “polar bear garden”. My favorite is the polar bear garden one!
I guess the joke was on them because there was gold in them thar hills and oil and plenty of pipelineable land! Those are all good things, way better than nature and indigenous peoples. (more…)

On this day in 1989 the oil tanker Exxon Valdez spilled over 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound, Alaska. I’ve seen varying estimates of how much oil was spilled, but I have read most estimates are low balled and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were.
I know I can’t forget the images of the oil soaked animals and the massive cleanup required. The effects of this man made disaster were so devastating oil is still trapped in Alaska’s gravel beaches 21 years later.
Only in recent years did Exxon begin to pay (more…)
Seriously, isn’t she awesome?
Years from now our children’s children will look upon this woman with the awe she deserves. It’s a very sophisticated thing she does, so sophisticated the democrats haven’t been able to duplicate it and haven’t been successful enough at counteracting it.
Then again maybe that’s not saying much. So maybe years from now our children’s children will look upon the Democrats with awe as to how they allowed this woman to become so successful.
Those children will probably not live in Alaska because it may not exist anymore according to Palin.
