And killing other sea life. Can someone say “Andromeda Strain”? Omega Man. Dr Frankestein. Anybody? Bueller? Anybody?
Some of it is happening, apparently, because of the amounts of Corexant applied. But of course a powerful solvent which will make oil and water mix couldn’t possibly make mutations in something that has a reproductive cycle of say, an hour or two. Nor would any mutations from already laboratory mutated specimens of these microbes (actually single-celled plants) even remotely possibly be pumping out the non-laboratory-controlled mutations doubling every hour or so…
And the dead crabs, worms, starfish etc… being found in the affected area just have no relevance whatsoever. Couldn’t be, nope. Dr Mandy Joye
Of course, too, she’s just an “intellectual” who has studied Marine Biology for like 27 years of college and post graduate and doctorate. And of course the fact that she, unlike Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly or Sarah Palin or any of the board of directors at BP, actually HAS hands-on (robot hands, it’s a very deep subject…) experience up close and as personal s you can be in an ALVIN submarine… that still wouldn’t mean she’s not some Ivory Tower Prima-Donna unlike the assholes at Fox who get paid to sit at a microphone lying for the Big Oil Companies all day every day…

No, she’s a PhD, like Jeremy Phud from the Yellow Submarine movie, an “intellectual” therefore absolutely incapable of ever knowing anything worthwhile, like the batting averages of big league players, the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys and who makes the most money on the NASCAR circuit. Bet she can’t even name all the top wrestlers.

Bet all those Louisiana and Florida Fishermen who spend their days and months and lifetimes out on the water and have been pulling up oil-filled crabs and shrimp were just “elitist intellectuals” too.
Now, crustaceans and mollusks, they’re not THE bottom level of the food web. Bacteria are. Fungi, algae..

Then there’s all the OTHER crap that industrial polluters, like the closely related (oil and coal corporations, if looked at as though were actually Humans .. “corporate persons”? would be considered incestuous in their relationship) mineral extractions industries pumping all kinds of SHIT into the water, factory farms with Concentrated Animal wastes, refineries along all the rivers that empty into the Gulf, and even whatever mine waste is killing Has Killed off the fungi, moss, algae, bacteria, crustaceans, insect larvae, amphibians, fish… in our own beloved local Fountain Creek,

Whatever it is in runoff from the Strip Mine coal operations that are causing male smallmouth bass into female smallmouth bass…
Nope, not a bit of that could also be involved. We know this because them good folks at BP and Massey and Exxon-Mobil and DumFox Noose have told us so.
And Sarah Palin, she might not know what The Bush Doctrine is even though she said she supported it, or that the constitutional duties of the job she applied for (Vice President of the United States) aren’t sitting in on congressional hearings and helping the Senate make laws…

But by golly-gosh she’s absolutely certain that all that shit being thrown into the water will just majickal like go away, you betcha! And we can absolutely trust her and the other paid spokespersons for Big Oil when they say that “intellectual elitists” can’t possibly be right.
Notice how the condescending British spokesman for Big Oil who put down all the “small people” got replaced fairly quickly, by a condescending American Mouthpiece who made the same putdown but with an American accent so it’s better? They wouldn’t be intellectual elitists even though they make a point of telling us how much smarter than us they require us to believe they are. Regularly. And often.
