Oil Spill News
I read an article yesterday that said Louisiana has been authorized to activate 6000 National Guard. They have only activated 1000. The Governor says he is waiting for BP to "approve" the use of more troops. Admiral Allan says there is nothing standing in the way of the Governor of activating more troops. My one and single question is..... Since when do we allow a private organization to dictate when and where we activate our military? That's like asking Jack in the Box Jack if we can have more army men to play war with. Our President authorized the Gulf Coast States to activate 17,500 National Guard.....ACTIVATE THEM! Don't ask BP or the US Coast Guard for permission. The President gave permission already. This has become so tangled with red tape and finger pointing. Even the people complaining about finger pointing are pointing fingers. The people cutting through the red tape are replacing the very tape they cut through... with another layer of red tape. They point their finger down the beach. When we are all busy looking down that beach, they put up another piece of red tape.
Another article I read yesterday.... Labor contractors are being accused of delaying pay checks. They are being accused of losing employees job applications. They are being accused of making millions from BP and paying only thousands.
On the Weather side of things
The first tropical depression of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season appears imminent in the Western Caribbean, as the areal coverage and intensity of heavy thunderstorm activity associated with the tropical wave (Invest 93L) continue to increase. The storm has developed a surface circulation near 16.5N, 82.5W at 8am EDT, about 100 miles northeast of the Nicaragua/Honduras border. The developing storm is affecting the weather across the entire Western Caribbean, and bands of heavy thunderstorms are quickly building over a large region. The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to fly into 93L at 2pm EDT this afternoon to see if a tropical depression has formed.
