1. Takes a huge effort by the media to ignore this, but they are.

[ensho]

3. true - media Barons hold sway

2. So sad. Once again, the M$M has decided there's nothing to see here. Move on. nt

[Dokkie]

7. This is why I hate MSM

they take stories and cover it to death till the point that you do not want to put on the TV. A channel like Russiatv still covers it once in while but thats not available from the cable company :(

[Divernan]

4. I've said it from day one - don't eat fish or any seafood from the Gulf.

As has been oft posted by people from the gulf area, you can taste the oil in it.

[jtrockville]

5. I haven't bought any seafood from USA since the disaster.

Since seafood is often labeled by country only (and sometimes not even that), I avoid anything not labeled, and anything labeled as USA.

Besides, I've given up injesting Corexit.

[Dokkie]

8. same here

Also avoid sea food items from restaurants (especially buffets)

10. I Have Planned A 10 Year Hiatus From Seafood At A Minimum

20. It's not just from the Gulf area...

From an article posted below:

Ten products, including fish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, and packaged Cajun dishes such as jambalaya and shrimp etouffee are being promoted at 72 base commissaries along the East Coast, said Milt Ackerman, president of Military Solutions Inc., which is supplying seafood to the businesses.

9. Poor kid, poor people.

Didn't Obama take his girls into the gulf water for a swim, giving it the All Clear? How is it that he believed it was safe when we all knew it wasn't?

11. We are in the third week of a 21 day detox and have decided to stay raw food and vegetarian.

We feel so much better.  No alcohol, no sugar, no caffeine, no
meat, no diary... 

I suppose we will eventually add some diary and alcohol and
sweets on weekends,
but we are going half raw, half cooked vegetarian to peel off
the rest of this weight on weekdays.

That is the plan.  Lost 8 pounds so far.  Want to lose 20
more.

Dr. Greens 21 Day Detox.. our third year.  Its a keeper.

Fish?  I am afraid not.  

[bertman]

12. Criminal behavior by BP, the President, and the corporate media. Rec. nt

[Myshadow]

14. It's called opression.

When will we hit the streets?

[bertman]

21. Right after American Idol and the NBA playoffs. Maybe.

13. U.S. Military Purchases Gulf of Mexico Seafood, Boosting an Industry Battered by Oil Spill

Sales of Gulf of Mexico seafood are getting a boost from the military after being hammered by last year's BP oil spill, which left consumers fearing that the water's bounty had been tainted.

Ten products, including fish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, and packaged Cajun dishes such as jambalaya and shrimp etouffee are being promoted at 72 base commissaries along the East Coast, said Milt Ackerman, president of Military Solutions Inc., which is supplying seafood to the businesses.

Gulf seafood sales fell sharply after a BP gulf well blew out in April, spewing millions of gallons of oil into the sea. Consumers have long feared that fish, oysters and other products could be tainted by oil and chemicals used to fight the spill, although extensive testing has indicated the food is safe. The perception has lingered - along with the poor sales.

Bobby Barnett, a shrimper in Pass Christian, Miss., said he was glad the U.S. government was embracing domestic and not imported seafood.

19. Ho-lee crap - so they are intentionally sickening our own troops

to artificially increase sales of gulf seafood ...

15. I met Wilma Sulbra in Mississippi were she talked about post-Katrina

toxins in the water levels. She was warning people not to eat the seafood because Katrina had flooded everything from Agent Orange clean-up sites to rocket fuel holding tanks to paint factories. Sadly, she and her message was just a blip on the local news. As this will be. There is so much money on the Coast that pays into making sure people don't hear about this kind of thing often enough to take action. It's very discouraging. But good'on for Wilma for keeping on keeping on.

16. K&R

The worst of it is, no one seems to know who's in-charge of this thing. I mean besides the Feinberg douche who is trying not to give people the money they were promised by BP.

- You know like, http://gothamist.com/2010/05/27/obama_i_take_responsibility_for_bp.php">who is responsible???

17. Standard response to environmental

health issues. Whether it is toxins in your home, the workplace, public places such as schools and parks - always protect yourself because this is how every environmental health issue is treated. Everyone is on their own and left to figure out how to get through the rest of their life with these awful health conditions.

Katrina, Gulf War Syndrome, Agent orange vets, sick building syndrome, accidents and spills, toxic wallboard, firefighters/first responders/ residents from 9/11, toxic workplaces.

Doctors do not know how to treat these illnesses until they become end-stage illnesses. It is not in their best interest to pursue learning about this either - insurance companies, the state medical boards and their peers will make their life miserable and broke if they do.

18. I repeat my nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize:

To that group of Mississippi fishermen who went on camera to say that they knew they would go bankrupt,
but refused to go out into the Gulf and bring back fish to sell that they knew were long-term poison to
anyone who would eat them.

What the hell did everyone expect? That a partially enclosed eco-system could suffer a few hundred millions
of gallons of crude oil plus a few tons of highly toxic Corexit to spread it out, and six months later
miraculously become a pristine eco-system again? Where was all that crap to go? Into some deep sea black
hole that sucked out all the bad stuff from the water? Diluted to the point where it was harmless? That
stuff is NEVER harmless (watch the video again, in case that's not clear).

If there's any bright spot to all this it's that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour will get so sick from
bathing in the Gulf and eating its fish that he will be a wreck by the time the 2012 presidential campaign
rolls around. Except for one minor detail--if there's anyone out there who REALLY believes that Barbour is
really spending serious time bathing in the Gulf and eating a steady diet of locally caught fish, I have
some cheap Pacific coastal property in Nebraska for sale.
