1. Black river. Disgusting and Disgusted.

2. I live right by there. We can smell it.

Today, we saw it as we drove past the river here in Battle Creek. It's sad and disgusting, but at least they're trying to clean it up. My daughter is just heartbroken about it.

3. Again I ask "When will Dems investigate all these spills" that

just seem to be happening all of a sudden in big batches. They are poisoning all of the water everywhere.

4. I suspect there's just more coverage after BP

We need to get off oil, period. I was dismayed by a fundraising "survey" I opened yesterday and on their list of the 14 issues they want ranked in order of importance not one directly addressed the environment. The closest item was "energy independence" but while not supporting unstable or repressive regimes is one good reason to import less oil, there are plenty of compelling reasons to wean ourselves from fossil fuels regardless of the source.
