They stick to me like s***.

This was one of the posts that had over two-thirds of it wiped out yesterday. I must have spent over an hour retrieving the fill, and yeah, I'm in a furious and sour mood. Already was before I got here.
"Still powerful, Lee drenches East Coast" September 07, 2011|Associated Press
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Disorganized yet deadly, the leftovers from Tropical Storm Lee spread farther inland yesterday, soaking much of the East Coast. Areas still drying out from Irene were hit with more rain while farmers in the Southeast welcomed the wet weather.
Lee spawned tornadoes that damaged hundreds of homes. Roads were flooded, trees uprooted, and power was knocked out to hundreds of thousands of people. Winds from the storm had fanned wildfires in Louisiana and Texas, though calmer air yesterday was expected to help firefighters. Lee even kicked up tar balls on the Gulf Coast.
Yes, but those implications are not something on which the (alleged) MSM focuses.
At least four people died in the storm....

And look who is riding to the rescue again, my southern friends:
"BP removes tar balls in Alabama" September 08, 2011|Associated Press
GULF SHORES, Ala. - BP workers used fishing nets to scoop tar balls off Alabama’s Gulf Coast beaches yesterday after the sands were fouled by gooey, dark gobs churned up by heavy surf from tropical system Lee.
Both the company and area officials said it would be days before tests confirmed whether the tar balls were from last year’s massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but BP contractors were removing the pollution anyway.
I'm sitting here and wondering what else they could be.
You f***ers sunk all that shit with your chemical corexit and along comes the storm and churns it all up.
Oh, right, I forgot, government and its media mouthpiece here told us all that oil disappeared.
Meanwhile, there is a new slick out there and the media is totally ignoring it. Instead I'm getting so much s*** in my paper.
:-(
And can the corporate media be any more slavish?
Yeah, BP is going above and beyond. I don't know what makes one sicker: eating a gob of dark goo or reading the pos propaganda piece.
Grant Brown, a spokesman for the City of Gulf Shores, said residents have feared more oil remains on the gulf’s sandy floor despite months of cleaning.
“It’s more proof that there still are offshore tar mats and it’s washing ashore … and it’s going to continue, it looks like, coming to shore,’’ said Brown.
Relatively few tourists were on the beaches as the cleanup began. Crews picked up hundreds of tar balls, which were dumped into large plastic bags and hauled off the beach for disposal.
And they will disappear down another AmeriKan media memory hole.

I read the article and it's another commission cover-up (with recommendations and everything). That's all we ever get over here.
"Heavy rain caused by remnants of Lee drenches East Coast; Flood watches issued across region" September 08, 2011|
WINDHAM, N.Y. - From Maryland to New England, heavy rains swelled waterways, flooded highways, and stretched emergency responders already dealing with cleanup from last week’s punishing blow from Irene. Sodden ground gave rain nowhere to go but directly into streams, creeks, and rivers that rushed a turbid red-brown past rural communities....
The National Weather Service predicted heavy rain would continue across the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states through today, with anywhere from 4 to 7 more inches falling and up to 10 in isolated pockets. Flood watches and warnings were issued throughout the region....
