Mutant Seafood in the Gulf

[saveliberty]

What does this have to do with politics?

I was guessing mutants or Al Jazeera?

Deeply saddening and it angers me to see this......

Yes, the President should be able to better than the dog paddle.

I live on the gulf, so this hits way too close to home for me, as well.

I live on the gulf and half the people I know are shrimpers and fishermen. I think they are closer to the story than Al Jazeera.

So are the shrimp coming out glowing, or pre-cooked?

 

[Uncensored2008]

They sure beat the hell out of Foxnews

Obama Akbar, indeed.

anyone BESIDES Al Jazeera put that out?

The National Enquirer had the story right under the one about Brittany Spears and her alien love child.

Here's a list of deformities that Al Jazeera found in its report:

Shrimp with tumors on their heads
Shrimp with defects on their gills and "shells missing around their gills and head"
Shrimp without eyes
Shrimp with babies still attached to them
Eyeless fish
Fish without eye-sockets
Fish without covers on their gills
Fish with large pink masses hanging off their eyes and gills
Crates of blue crabs, all of which were lacking at least one claw
Crabs with holes in their shells
Crabs with shells that have no spikes or claws or misshapen claws
Crabs that are dying from within

No. they're coming out pretty much the way they always have but catches are up. Prices at the dock are holding as well as people are confident again in the quality of Gulf seafood after the spill.

 

[uscitizen]

The shrimp come pre oiled for frying.

Crude oil has no cholerterol.

I think Al Jazeera has dusted off and dragged out of retirement a few 1960's Russian propagandists.

 

[uscitizen]

So the come on back the water and everything is fine tourism commericals I have seen are not propaganda?

The aftermath of the BP spill continues:

Al Jazeera just published an astonishing report on the after-effects of the BP oil disaster, and it's not pretty. There are an alarming number of deformities in sea creatures: mutated shrimp, fish with sores and lesions, eyeless crabs and more. It's unlike anything local fisherman have ever seen.

And why in the fuck do we have to rely on news outlets like Al Jazeera to publish this stuff. Why aren't mainstream news outlets in the U.S. still following this story?

Sickening.

Oh no. Does this mean another Republican "apology" to BP?
