Note: The video seems to be coming in and out, so if it appears to be down just give it a few minutes and a couple of old fashioned refreshes and it should come back.
After nearly driving my colleague Michael Whitney insane, BP managed to get it’s act together and finally get the live feed of the leaking well head online.
Ustream is now hosting the video, and we’ve got it embedded on our BP Oil Disaster resource page.
I encourage you to bookmark it and monitor the leak’s progress (or lack there of) for yourself. After all, we can’t really depend on anyone else to do it for us.

OMG it’s the villan from fern gully
Oh, it’s totally Hexxus. Like I said yesterday, South Park episode.

While we’re on the subject of disasters, here’s the liveblog of the Texas School Board debacle. They’re obviously committed to demonstrating the veracity of Mark Twain’s words;

Just like with the BP disaster, the consequences of the Texas School Board ruling will truly manifest themselves not over months or years– but decades.
Future leaders of America!
Anybody heard any most recent words from LA Gov. Jindal? I hoping he will be the intelligent voice of outrage.
No, but Jindal had this to say after surveying marshes on Wednesday:

Good job, Brian. I’ve put a link up at my place.
Hey, thanks!
Moving right along here:

hah, killer opening line in that article:
I mean, c’mon, who doesn’t like chocolate?
Well, they can’t really compare it to diarrhea, can they?
That would be un-American.
LOL
And that article is STILL using the low ball numbers for the vulume gushing . . . sad.
Thanks for putting this up,
Brian and Larue; I think I’m gonna jump in my car and run down there and get me some of that free chocolate mousse.
The symptoms of it are bad enough. What Jim White put up, about the “lab work” going to a lab with huge contracts with BP and the oil industry, and federal officials telling volunteers that the volunteer work on saving greased wildlife and on assessing penalties has to be done by a company hired by BP, is the real obscenity.
Which brings us squarely in front of the desk of one Barack Obama.
“Mr. Preznint, would it have been too much to ask, in the first month after you took office, to have one of your staffers find out just how many holdovers from the Bush administration you were keeping, by default, if not by actual hiring? Would it have been too much to ask you to make a review of the sweetheart coastal drilling regs that led to this catastrophe, at some point in the 16 months before DeepWater Horizon exploded and sank?”
Enquiring voters in November would like to know.
This, of course, is one hell of a spinning plate for Mr. Centrist to have to deal with. It’s a real shit-or-get-off-the-pot situation, and so far, he’s still meditating on the petro-commode.
But there are other plates, which may well prove to be even more dangerous for O. and the dems, in the form of Iraq and Afghanistan. They should have been taken down by now…but, if this political hack doesn’t understand about gravity, I think we should find a preznint who does.
BTW, it’s waycool watching Jindal, etc., almost overnight, morph into environmentalists.
:o)
It is kind of ironic. This country has invaded other countries and killed hundreds of thousands of people over this resource and now this resource threatens to poison our coastline. If it gets in the loop and goes up the East coast it will devastate our economy and eco system. Karma anyone?
