A Crying Shame
P.J. Hahn, director of Coastal Zone Management for Plaquemines Parish is my hero. In response to the blatant lie by BP's CEO that the impact of the oil spill would be "minimal," Mr. Hahn said,
"You tell that son-of-a-bitch to get on a plane and come down here and take a look at what we've got in our backyard." (In the broadcast I saw, this was not censored).
I yelled "Tell 'em why you're mad P.J.!" at the television and pumped my fist in the air. Finally, someone who refused to hold their tongue about this devastating crisis.
The oil spill is a damn mess and I am beyond sad about it. It's all I can do to keep from crying these days. At least P.J. Hahn called BP on their bulls*** long before anyone else did so publicly. Now, we need a solution that actually WORKS before we have nothing left.
