"About 60,000 square miles of gulf waters remain closed to fishing, and more than 600 miles of coastline across four U.S. states have been smeared with oil." This is a quote taken from this mornings news report on the internet and exactly what's wrong with the news!!  Looking for sensationalism.  The facts are these--from Pensacola on the western end of the Florida panhandle to the rest of the Florida coastline touched by the Gulf of Mexico, the beaches are white, clean, and the water is beautiful.  Business is down about 50% and many people are missing out on their summer vacation in Destin because the news organizations have frightened them--people have visions of beaches covered with black oil.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  If you were planning a visit to the Gulf Coast, come ahead, conditions are great as usual.  Go to http://www.destinhomerealtor.com/ or http://www.oilslickdestin.com/ for a live web cam and many other live feeds and factual reports.  If you have any other doubts, feel free to send a question to MykeSaysSold@aol.com.

BP’s chief executive, Tony Hayward, is stepping aside to be replaced by Robert Dudley, the company’s most senior American executive, who is currently in charge of BP’s operations in the Gulf of Mexico, according to someone close to the company’s board of directors. The change in leadership will be taken up by the board on Monday.  An official announcement could come on Tuesday if the board ratifies the plan. Mr. Hayward has been running BP since 2007.

Bob Dudley would decide. Who appointed Bob Dudley God of the Coastal Oil Slick?  On YouTube, BP's new point man on the spill answered questions about the spill. Shelly Landry owns Grand Isle's only grocery store. She watched, unimpressed.
