She does good news.

I think Rachel Maddow has been covering this whole mess better than any other news station/show anywhere.

Agreed.  She seems to cover pretty much everything better than the rest of them, including the rest of the cast on MSNBC.  It's actual investigative journalism which seemed to have died somewhere along the way.

Yep.

Let me talk to my source of plane tickets and try to make some arrangements for some stuff, but I'll PM you soon if you're serious about this.

I live in south Louisiana, signed up for the Gulf Coast Restoration thingamajig. Will be mopping up down there fairly soon, I imagine.

Oil is already there.

Why wait? Just go.

Okay, you jump in first.

Unless you already have experience cleaning up this kind of thing, I'd suggest you don't do it by yourself. Oil is toxic, you may need safety gear you don't possess. Not to mention that you very well could end up doing more harm than good with attempts to clean it up.

Yep, this is the group I signed up with and they said what you said, Vene.

I'm not in LA

[Requia ☣]

Hmm, just how much coastline has been hit anyway?  I can only find stuff for how much of Louisiana got hit.

[Suu]

I know that it is definitely starting to make landfall in MS, and AL, and tarballs are showing up in the FL panhandle, where they think oil is about a mile to 5 miles offshore as of this week.

LA has it the worst, but this is way far from over.

We'd know more if the media wasn't being this obviously suppressed. At least, they told Anderson Cooper to gtfo.

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Welp, there was just a 500 barrel oil spill into Salt Lake City's water supply.  The drinking water is safe but a couple of creeks and wells are contaminated, including the small lake in the park by my house.  Blehhh.
