450,000 gallons sounds like the truth.

Someone once said, “only a fool believes what he reads in the paper.”

This whole, “all clear on the east bank” mentality has me pissed. They’re saying “it smells bad, but that’s all.” That’s a load of crap. We’re not just experienceing odors here, we’re experiencing symptoms. Headaches, dizzyness, nausea. I’m keeping my kids mostly indoors till it stops. The last thing I’ll do is believe what the mayor’s office has to say.

I won’t believe any advice from a guy who said, after the storm, “It’s safe to bring your kids home now,” even though he made damn sure his own kids stayed in Texas for many months after.

The divers went down, about 90 feet down, can’t see anything, the river is so muddy. They’ll be removing diesel before they can pull up the rest of whats left. When I got off work the night it happened, it really stunk… eyes watering, and the closer to home, the worse the smell. What really got me was the newscaster saying it really wasn’t so bad. Had I been face to face, I would’ve asked her to swim in it….

Has anyone noticed how the smell has transformed today?

Yesterday it was a sort of amonia-spiked chemical odor, today the whole city smells like a damn gas station.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring. Dirty feet?

It’s actually 420,000 gallons of stuff you can’t put in a car. It’s heavy, industrial grade fuel used in factories, etc.

oops.

And then there’s Satan for President: The Sequel.

Tough call.

Both give me a headache, both spew bad air, and both are the result of America’s pimping for the Oil Conglomerate.

I’ll settle for what we get, the merde du jour, and try to be happy that the flies are being cut back. At least the stinky stain won’t be around for four years…I hope.
