\nway down the rabbit hole. None other than <\/strong>Sarah “Drill, baby, drill” Palin wondered aloud on Fox News Sunday<\/em> whether oil company contributions to the Obama
\ncampaign are to blame for the president “taking so doggone long to get in
\nthere, dive in there, and grasp the complexity and the potential tragedy that
\nwe are seeing here in the Gulf of Mexico.” (Obama has definitely enjoyed BP
\ncash<\/a>.)
\nThis whole Gulf mess just makes her long for—wait for it – more on-shore<\/em> drilling. Like in the Arctic
\nNational Wildlife Reserve in Alaska<\/a>!\n<\/p>\n
When Last I was kidding!<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n Remember Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R) big rail against the Ouch<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n James Carville, Louisiana native and usually loyal Democratic consultant, blasted the I think they actually believe that And he didn’t stop there<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n Seemed like a good idea at the time<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n Conservation groups, such as The Anyone serious about doing conservation in this region must engage these See Joe A White House divided<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n Interior Secretary Ken Salazar vents \n<\/p>\n Related Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n In wake of Gulf spill, should this be the summer of energy reform?<\/a><\/p>\n Show how much you—and BP—care with a commemorative oil spill T-shirt<\/a><\/p>\n Matthews tells Obama to kill BP’s disaster capitalism<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThursday, the EPA gave BP 72 hours to quit using that nasty oil dispersant
\nCorexit 9500<\/a> in favor of other less
\ntoxic chemicals. Last weekend, BP said no can do. To which the EPA replied: um,
\nwell, we really need to talk<\/a>. <\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n
\nbig government excesses in his official Republican Party response to Obama’s
\nfirst State of the Union address? Yeah, well, that was 18 months ago. Now,
\nJindal is irate that the same big government isn’t moving fast enough<\/a> to
\nstop the brown gunk hitting the Louisiana coast. \n<\/p>\n
\n“lackadaisical” response from the Obama White House.\n<\/p>\n
\nBP has some kind of a good motivation here. They’re naive! BP is trying to save
\nmoney, save everything they can … Somebody has got to, like, shake them and
\nsay, ‘These people don’t wish you well! They’re going to take you down!’\n<\/p>\n
\nNature Conservancy and Conservation International, are taking heat for their
\npartnerships with BP. In response to questions from Conservancy supporters, Nature
\nConservancy chief exec Mark Tercek posted this on his org’s website:\n<\/p>\n
\ncompanies, so they are not just part of the problem but so they can be part of

\nabout BP missing “deadline after deadline” with its proposed fixes; White House
\npress secretary Robert Gibbs bemoans the oil giant’s “lack of
