Oil Spill Live Video Link

Here's a link for a streaming live video feed on the oil leak currently going on in the Gulf of Mexico. http://www.ustream.tv/pbsnewshour

As we watched in horror the gallons of oil gushing into the gulf, I have to mention that the other day, listening to the radio talk show, the DJs reported that the oil being drilled there was exported to other countries; while our gas prices just continues to rise. 

What oil shortage were they talking about? They're selling "our" oil to other countries.  In the last couple of years, the oil companies has forced us to pay for as much as $3.50 for a gallon of gas.  Many of us gave up driving vacations because the prices were jacked-up. Some sold their gas cars for electric cars. What oil shortage were they talking about then? I didn't think there was an oil shortage, just a "pocket shortage" from the oil executives. 

BP Oil Spill in the Gulf

Normally, I listen to Satellite radio, but for some odd reason, I thought I'd surf the local radio channels and came across a talk show discussing the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The talk show was not impressive. I was disappointed that both of the DJs were bashing comments from Gov. Haly Barbour on his comment about "humans being covered in toothpaste" and BP CEO Tony Hayward's comments on "I'd like my life back."

We're all upset about the oil continuing to leak into our waters. What's sad to me was having these two radio personalities just waste energy and radio time on "what he said or she said". After about 20 minutes of the bashing back and forth, they finally moved on real facts, meaning real numbers of wildlife affected, or how BP supposedly had some of the cleanup crew sign a paper asking them not to speak to the media about the wildlife being affected and the "real" grim pictures they see ashore.
