LInk...President George Bush (1) addresses the nation and visits Alaska on the Exxon Valdez
There is none...... he never said shit about it. or visited Alaska

Which was the greatest US environmental disaster at its time

And I was pissed back then.



Imagine McCain and Palin's response if elected.

Just want to put things into perspective.

Am I happy now? No, but the corporate powers have grown even more powerful now
and Americans even less informed

2. yep.. Chevron is a nasty company too.

About the Ships

Chevron ships originally had names beginning with "Chevron", such as the Chevron Washington and Chevron South America, or were named after former or serving directors of the company. Samuel Ginn, William E Crain, and most notably Condoleezza Rice were amongst those honored, but the ship named after Rice was subsequently renamed as Altair Voyager.<8> All the ships were renamed in 2001 to reflect the corporate merger with Texaco. Ships in the international fleet are all named after celestial bodies or constellations, such as Orion Voyager and Altair Voyager, and the American ships are named after the states in the country, as in Washington Voyager and Colorado Voyager.

Their history and record sucks also
