Gah, there is so much I miss…

I did not know that there had been an oil pipeline spill. 

(I’m sure that the push for the new pipeline has nothing to do with it)  /snark

Be sure to click on the links—the poor ducks….

…and I strongly suspect the reason that Exxon officials are discouraging people from handling the ducks are not concern for the person’s safety as they are at keeping people away from the scene to thwart pictures of the ducks circulating, a la BP thwarting efforts to document the deaths of the dolphins during the oil spill.  And the government is not helping, but also part of the see-no-evil plan…

Here’s an update to the gulf. Not good news…not that I  expected any. More here.

Here’s a photographic diary of the devastation.  Warning: the worst photo I have ever seen of a poisoned dolphin  is in this group, along with the pelicans, turtles, and other sea life covered in oil….it makes you just want to suck in air, doesn’t it?  Good God.
