I don't believe so.

Although Jindal denies it, this book is his first salvo at becoming president and exposing his "beliefs" on the national stage. Nothing new here.
He's a politician.

Maybe. Maybe not. I've attempted to be judicious in my posting, and I've omitted a number of considerably more sensational ones. Despite what MSM, BP, and the government say, there are many people, primarily along the coast, suffering serious health effects. The oil just didn't disappear or evaporate, they buried a lot of it. Some of that toxic mix gets into the atmosphere, many more people will be effected. I see BP is still running their full page adds in the local paper as well as a couple times per week in some of the larger Panhandle ones. With revenues dropping, you won't see them printing any negative articles. Do you get the Sunday paper in your area? Is BP running any adds there?

And the subject is important enough to deserve all of those pages and all of those videos.

[b]Laboratory Test Results Raise Concern Over Gulf Seafood[/b]
Quote
Scientists found elevated levels of Anthracene, a toxic hydrocarbon and a by-product of petroleum. The Anthracene levels were double what the FDA finds to be acceptable.

The scientist who tested the shrimp said she would not eat it based on the results, and the results may surprise consumers and shrimpers.

And so will the people who have eaten Gulf seafood.

The oil just didn't "disappear" or "evaporate" as the media, government, and BP insist. [b]"It's still there."[/b]
Quote
PANAMA CITY — The oil is still there, sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and causing damage to the environment, a Florida State University professor who studies greenhouse gases, oceans and energy said Tuesday.

Professor Jeff Chanton compared natural oil seepage in the Gulf of Mexico to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. About 1,000 natural ocean-floor leaks combine to trickle about 400,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf each year, Chanton said, but scientists estimate as many as 60,000 barrels of oil poured into the Gulf each day of the spill.
