Thanks for sharing. Powerful and very sobering. Seriously I think we all need to pray and I mean hard for some kind of miracle out there. God Bless these people!

This is allowed to happen because "WE" are to stupid and weak to stand up to big brother. Boston had its "tea party" maybe the gulf should have its "oil party"

Great video! Loved her passion. I predict a movie will be made with this lady as the central character. And I hope there is a happy ending...

This is painful to watch. My heart aches for her & all these good hard working people.
I repeat it is not just BP at fault. (careless, reckless negilent behavior) It is our Congress & Presidents, who have not developed an energy policy & remained lapdogs for oil companies. It is you & me for wasting so much energy that is driving this demand for oil.

You do know that its BP's fault right??? and the manufacturer of the drilling barge...

I do not share your sentiment b/c I buy a gallon of gas that I would allow a deep water drill that was 55% failure rate? NO, I wouldn't. If you are illogical (or a JFP fool), I guess you are right Bush gave the initial OK, Obama second checked it - wonder why BP is so quick to pay up?. Both Presidents were given assurances that nothing would happen. Guess what, they did represent us, but the assurances are assumptions and BP holds the bag of liability, not me.

Dear 10:29,
The Bible tells us that it is a sin to call others fools. If you are not a Christain that's ok, but a fool, I think I am not.
Opinionated yes, but not a fool.

Do you perchance drive a Hummer?

Are you aware that the last 6 Presidents & 18 congresses have not formulated an energy policy that would make us energy independent?

Are you cognisant of the fact that while the U.S. has 2% of worlds population, it consumes 25% of the world's energy production?

Yes, I do think we are wasteful.

By_The_Way: what is a JFP Fool?
I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

I drive a Honda. 36 MPG. I guess if I really wanted to go without, I would have to purchase a condo in a major city with all the amenities needed and walk. Have you considered that?

Yes. Its a very difficult situation and the corporate interests mainly oil have done a good job of preventing alternative fuel development. And if you know a bit about the industry, they also limited refining capacity a few years back with the purchase and closing of refineries on the West Coast.

Do we consume too much energy? Don't really know. Do know that we like food (we feed a good bit of the world). Also know that we are the innovation for the rest of the world. Not the only one, but the primary innovator for searching for solutions to these problems.

I'm not saying we are not wasteful. I'm saying i'm not holding the bag for BP's mistake. BP and those directly involved in this disaster should be losing sleep and covering the economic disaster....not the general population.

JFP refers to any of the bungling tablog readers of the Fool Press that claims to be more than just a music calendar.

and remember, SAY: this wasteful 2% of the population has produced more innovation and opportunity that has benefited other parts of the remaining ("non-wasteful")98% than any other 2% in history...lots of folks in Europe, Asia, South America and elsewhere can thank the wastefulness of THIS 2% for the fact that they no longer have to go out doors to go to the bathroom or walk their goods into town on top of their mule, can harvest a food supply for multitudes of people with the effort of only a few people, do not have to worry about dying from the likes of malaria or TB and can e-mail their buddies on the other side for the world via the technology developed as a result of all the waste of THE 2%.

In any event, I believe she speaks the truth and has no reason to lie.

SAY said...

Dear 8:36,
My you are stubborn & I will not attempt to debate you, as you are quite firm in your convictions.
That's why we live in the greatest country in the world; everyone can voice their opinion.

Thank you for your clarifications, & no I'm not a member of the press. It's just me sitting at my computer. (but not in underwear)

I wish you a good & productive day.

We have no business drilling out there to begin with. God has given us plenty of oil under US soil without the kind of danger there is drilling 5000 feet under water. I mean seroiusly, would you rather protect human life or wildlife? Oceanlife where we make a living and get our food or wildlife that, by the way, could coexist with oil and gas development.

10:27 I am not stubborn. Just firm in my convictions. Sometimes I read wishy washy comments and it just irks me. No point is being made or they are incorrectly responding to a previous post they did not take the time to read and digest before spouting off some rhetorical speech much like the Jackson Free Press (JFP) readers. I take the time to read on a subject before I jump in here to comment and this oil situation has been very difficult to track. But, I repeat, I do not feel anyone other than BP holds the bag on this one. What got us here is a different story and we could debate that ad nauseam. Good day as well. And, for the record, I was in my underwear when I wrote at 8:36.

We ought to get together a group and do an expose on this. Get video, interviews etc. I know it will cost some, but man, the blackout on this is incredible. I'd volunteer and kick in what I've got, maybe readers who are interested in knowing the truth would contribute a bit to get a group down there at ground zero?

Kingfish said...

Now in the interest of being fair and balanced, here is a post from TD representing the other side of this video:

Half way through and to me she sounds like a person that is going to have a problem with anything.

Cutting cost: I too have sat through a meeting just like she has. I was and the headquarters for the Grand Isle area. The only talk I heard of cutting cost was not in the meeting (in which 90% of the people had no idea who I was/ meaning insider or outsider) was not in the meeting but the talk was of not replacing a sorbent boom until it had been oiled instead of partially oiled. Meaning it had much more absorbent capability left.

I did see a ton of money being spent by BP on staging equipment and materials for a project that might not ever be done. Talking hundreds of thousands of dollars to stage material to fill in Camanada Pass.

Here second point was resperators. Yes if you work for bp there are rules as there should be. You have to be trained. I go through this training where I work. If the situation was different (the opposite of what is occuring) can you imagine the outrage that would occur is someone was overcome by fumes and they had their resperotor on wrong because they were not trained!!!

If you MIGHT need one you must be trained. That is common sense. Air monitoring shows that it is not needed. If it shows that it is it will be a little to late to train your sorry ass while you are chocking on fumes.

Her third point was just that she thinks she is being lied to about firefighters in 911 and such. Ummm Basically she said she wanted to punch him in the face because she didn't believe a firefighter would be so gung-ho as to not wear a respirator because their coworkers were missing and they were going to look. Don't know the facts but that sounds plausible to me. Firefighters are firefighters because they are gung-ho.

That is where I stopped. If she didn't have anything important to say after watching more than half of her speech I figure I am wasting my time.

How dare BP not want to waste money.

As Puff Daddy once said, "It's all about the benjamins baby."

Who cares if people get sick and/or die? At least we stayed within the budget.

KF I understand the commentary from TD. What I don't understand is their attempt to criticize while not listening to the entire video. I took the time to do so and was not really moved by the "access", I was moved by her living in the environment and her experience on the water. The fish kill she describes was unbelievable. It reminded me as a child of the fish kill on Lake Ontario in the 70's. That was the message. The tit for tat of what a controllable cost is was irrelevant. I will say, I couldn't find the video she referenced. I searched. All of the videos related to the subect I searched were removed. Hmmm. I consider myself somewhat very capable of discovering the nitty-gritty of info.

Video has been removed, what the hell?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
