This in Huffington Post this morning. There are two stirring and quite awesome original songs in here, two different styles. Check it out.

People in Louisiana who've made their living all their lives from the land and the sea, now shut out of the entire process. Why aren't people being trained to clean up the waters and beaches and marshlands? Why aren't they being trained to clean animals?  Here is an opportunity for job training and education, in the government's face, being ignored. But day in and day out, we hear about job training.

Big oil in charge.

Spin, spin, spin. Here are people that want to work, that love their state, that need money, that need to feel that they're a part of this country and are important to whatever new emerges as industry in LA, and they are just brushed aside. Fill out your claim and get your check. Let us (gov't and big oil) take care of all this. Chuckle, chuckle. Don't worry your little heads about it.

I don't understand what we're holding up as such a beacon of hope. Who's falling for it? Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
