Shrimp Fishing Welfare

-
Roanoke Times, 8-17-10, Pg 1: Shrimp season opens in Louisiana.
Federal officials said it was safe. They had allowed states to reopen harvest areas, they said, only after tests on fish and shrimp showed no signs of oil or dispersant. In fact, federal officials said, they did not turn up a single piece of seafood that was unsafe to eat --- even at the height of the BP’s oil spill.

I couldn’t believe this! So I checked another source:

Shrimping Season Starts, But Few Boats Set Sail August 17, 2010 01:29 PM EDT Yesterday (Aug 16th) marked the start of Louisiana's shrimping season, but few boats took to the waters.

All the pictures and first-hand interviews of shrimp boats tied-up at the piers because of the BP spill is now clearly a huge pile of heifer dust!
The season was closed due to normal seasonal marine controls already in-place.

I didn’t shoot any deer last week – there were lots in my yard eating my flowers. I didn’t shoot because the season is closed! Unfortunately I didn’t get paid for not shooting them; certainly would have helped augment my fixed modest-income!
-
Of course few boats went out – they’re all on BP-welfare!
Would you go out and work at very hard-work when BP is committed to pay you to stay tied up at the dock?
And the revelation that there has NOT BEEN ANY seafood contamination since the spill began raises the ugly specter of gross malfeasance by the federal government in a conspiracy to scare the hell out of millions of Americans without due diligence and scientific basis.
Wasn’t the Obama commitment that they would put science before politics?
So much for yet another gross false Obama premise!

Yet more hope and change and hypocrisy we can depend on!

This is your same government that has been scaring the hell out of our people and particularly our children with the premise that YOU are causing catastrophic global warming that will soon destroy life as we know it and it’s YOUR FAULT!
