2. Now THIS is what the MSM
and the corporate team, our government included, have been censoring!
The true depth of the disaster and the multitude of crimes leading up to it.
Circulate these far! Demand that they be more widely seen.

3. And from a local blog a few weeks ago:
a familiar pod of dolphins reported making choking sounds from their blow holes. This was well before oil land fall and I suspect they came in from the deeper waters to be around people and away from sharks.

But "fish, birds, and the beaches" is the media mantra. (not that the latest bird imagery isn't hideous)
