[DaRizzle]

And to those worried restaurateurs facing rising prices for shrimp and oysters? In the words of fellow BP rep Randy Prescott: “Louisiana isn’t the only place that has shrimp.”

Let him know how you feel:

It works...I left him a message

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

shrimp is farmed.

gulf oysters shouldn't be eaten in months without the letter "r" in them. Water is too warm for oysters to be good.

 

[Ed O]

I'm not going to call and tell him I don't give a crap about shrimp and oysters.

Pissed off, don't buy their gas.

Even a 5% drop in at the pump sales would cause the shareholders to replace most of the top executives.

If you do like what a company is saying or doing don't do business with them.

What exactly is the big problem with what Randy Prescott said? He was asked a question about the worries of restaurants, and answered honestly. He knows things are fucked up, and tried to put their minds at ease by saying there are other places with this product, which is true.....right? I don't think he is lipping the bird to the state of Louisiana by that statement.


Am I misreading it?

"You're suffering from some horrible disease MM? No worries, we can find another coach elsewhere." But hey, I'm not flipping you the bird or anything. Just trying to put your mind at ease with a true statement.

Obama: Go to Gulf beaches; most still open, clean
Obama urges Americans to vacation at Gulf beaches; almost all clean, open despite oil spill

On Thursday May 27, 2010, 2:52 pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is encouraging Americans to visit the Gulf Coast despite the huge offshore oil spill.

At a White House news conference Thursday, Obama said while three beaches in Louisiana have been fouled by oil, the rest of the region's beaches are clean and safe. He says Gulf state governors have asked him "to remind everybody" the beaches are open.

The spill has economic as well as environmental costs for the Gulf states -- Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. With the summer tourist season about to start, Obama says Americans can help people along the Gulf by continuing to visit their communities and beaches.

So in response to concerns about oil-fouled beaches, Obama basically said, "Those aren't the only beaches in the area." What a jerk!

That's not what he said at all.

Come on Plat, I know you're smarter than this.

You know, Randy, the Cajun people are a proud culture. We value our way of life that is centuries old. When we came to southern LA, we separated from other cultures as we had been so badly treated by other ethnicities. We moved into the swamps and marshes and began a way of life uniquely suited to our values. When called upon to fight, we had to be persuaded that it was for a good cause, because all we wanted was to live our lives in peace. But, fight we did with glory! Your comment was insensitive and a slap in the face to all of us affected by YOUR mistake. You knew the risks inherent in drilling so deep and had no real contingency plans. One of the workers warned you that something was wrong and he was ignored because all you could see was dollar signs. Now, you have created a disaster much worse than any natural disaster that has hit LA. Have you really seen how your mistake has, and is, affecting our treasured way of life and livelihood? Have you seen our wildlife? I guess you'll say, "Well, there is more wildlife out there, so why the fuss?" Shame on you and on your company for being so callous and uncaring. Stop spending on commercials and get busy solving the problem instead of merely putting bandaids on a gushing wound.

Well, all i can say about Obama is," as long as he looks and sounds good, he knows nothing about handling crises and doesn't want to know." He likes running around the world and ruining America's standing in the world community. I did not vote for him.

Ha, ha. Bush was definitely much better building America's standing in the world community. No doubt about it.

Repped.

Of course, it's still hard to top Hayward saying "I want my life back". 11 people dead, countless animals, thousands lose their livelihood, environment despoiled for decades, and he just wants to go play golf somewhere.
