Day three-slow going

Good morning boys and girls,
Hope your morning is bright and shinny. Here we are day three- not many takers on the co-author invite. hmmmm should that tell me something? Probably should but I was never one to bow to reason.
So still not a clue as to what I am doing here so I will "ramble on".

Well since the BP fiasco was a catalyst for discussions which spawned this blog I think some "news" about it is in order:
"We haven’t found any large concentrations of oil under the sea. To my knowledge, no one has," BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said on NBC's TODAY show. His comments came one day after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its researchers found subsurface oil as far as 142 miles from the leaking Gulf well. It was the first government confirmation of undersea oil near BP's blown-out well a mile beneath the ocean.

So question of the day: Does anyone know of a source for factual news delivered with minimal sensationalism and maximum confirmed facts???  "just he fact ma'am"

Also, anyone know of ways to volunteer to head to the gulf and assist in the clean up?

and finally, please share your comments and any ideas for future blog topics...

  I need a catchy phrase to sign off with- any ideas?

Billy

  2. I like Rachel Maddow

    The more spills change, the more they stay the same

    May 26: Rachel Maddow shares NBC News reports on from 1979 on the Ixtoc I oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the near mirror impotence and ineptitude in addressing the spill.
