Gulf Oil Spill Hits 50 days!! What Next


BP CEO Tony Hayward: “I’d like my life back

The millionaire CEO of foreign oil giant British Petroleum, Tony Hayward, is upset at the inconvenience caused to him by his company’s devastation of the Gulf of Mexico. In this TP excerpt, Brad Johnson has the stunning video of the tone-deaf ‘apology’ from the leader of the company whose recklessness and hubris has already claimed 11 lives and spewed 20 to 100 million gallons of toxic oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

On Sunday, immediately after apologizing, Hayward then complained about the effect of the Deepwater Horizon disaster on his personal life, saying “I would like my life back“

We’re sorry for the massive disruption it’s caused their lives. There’s no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back.

Sad theory and unethical comments from a few scientist currently
(not something I believe in at all and though a harsh reality many may die, we did this so we owe it to them)

Today's numbers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other groups involved in the cleanup show that 413 oiled birds have been collected alive, and 594 dead birds have been picked up. Of all those birds, only 39 have been released back into the wild.

Probe Launched Into Criminal Charges Against BP

The U.S. has launched criminal and civil investigations into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill—the latest move by the Obama administration to show it is taking aggressive action amid bipartisan criticism of its response to the disasters.

"We have what we think is a sufficient basis for us to have begun a criminal investigation," said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Tuesday after meeting in New Orleans with state attorneys general and federal prosecutors from the region. Mr. Holder noted that 11 people died in the April 20 rig accident that precipitated the spills.

BP Disaster Worst American Oil Spill on Record
Link
The 15,000 gallons of oil being spewed each day into the Gulf from the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil accident will impact the U.S. economy more than the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster. The Gulf fishing and tourism industries produce $3.5 - $4.5 billion a year. It will cost BP $4 billion to contain and clean up the mess, and another $4-$5 billion in penalties. BP has spilled 30 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, three times the Exxon Valdez.

Yellowstone National Park, one of the most dramatic places on earth as well as one of the most merciless, is put is put display for your viewing pleasure this week. If you haven't watched this incredible documentary yet, you need to.

Yellowstone is a special place to me and one place that tops my list for places to visit and fishing destinations without a doubt. It's been close to 20 years since I've called this magical place home and with much anticipation, my trip back there in a few months will be a welcomed one.

Memorial Weekend Activities! I Need To Catch My Breath

Exciting Weekend of Events, Now Back To Work Again

When you think of enjoying yourself over the weekend, normally one thinks of fishing -perhaps a BBQ and if lucky some downtime. When I think of spending a weekend in town and not going to the mtns to fight the Holiday crowds/traffic, many things come to mind.

This past Holiday weekend I was fortunate enough to get my share of almost everything I could ask for and then some. The weekend started with a fun night at one of Denver's top restaurants, Zengo's restaurant for my girlfriend's birthday, than we enjoyed a BBQ party at a friend's house, the much anticipated UFC 114 fight night with friends (Rashad got lucky) and a gorgeous day out at Coors field watching my Colorado Rockies play the Dodgers.

A special tribute came also from watching the Feature on Project Healing Waters that I was involved with. A nice way to end a perfect Holiday weekend by watching the long feature on Denver's Channel 9 News with me helping some of our less fortunate Vets catching trout!


colorado carp on a fly
Oh I couldn't leave out getting a little Carp fishing done in the South Platte down the street sticking 3 pigs and loosing 3 others in the short time I had to spend. Lastly, I also got out for some much needed Golf at Wellshire golf course to brush off the rust on my golf swing. Wheeeeeeeew

Too much fun and now I'm completely exhausted....where's my nap and why can't I have another week of play like this one!
