When BP CEO Tony Hayward testified before Congress this morning, many expected to hear him apologize for the disaster his company has caused which is destroying the gulf of Mexico and the southern coast of the United States, and may also soon spread to the east coast. Instead, Republican Congressman Joe Barton was the one saying he was sorry — to BP.

In his opening statement, Barton, the top Republican on the committee overseeing the oil spill and its aftermath, delivered a personal apology to the oil giant. He said the billion fund that President Obama directed BP to establish to provide relief to the victims of the oil disaster was a "tragedy in the first proportion." Because, as a typical Republican, he is more interested in representing industry and big oil corporations, not the American people he is supposed to represent.

Other Republicans are echoing his call. Republican Sen. John Cornyn said he "shares" Barton’s concern. Republican Michele Bachmann said that BP shouldn’t agree to be "fleeced." She feels making BP take responsibility to compensate those whose livelihoods have been destroyed by BP is a bad idea. Rush Limbaugh the king of promoting corporate America over its citizens, called it a "bailout." How about that for typical Limbaugh irresponsible and backwards thinking!? The Republican Study Committee, with its 114 members in the House, called it a "shakedown." BP is not eve and American owned company so these Republican are not even taking the side of Americans corporations over American people. They are taking the side of foreign corporations, careless foreign corporations who are destroying our nations coastline at that, over the interests of the American people!

This fund is a major victory for the people of the Gulf. It’s a key step toward making them whole again. BP has a responsibility to those whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by the disaster. And BP oil executives don’t deserve an apology — the people of the Gulf do.

Now if we can just get the Republican Party to think about the needs of the American people for once and stop BSing us and selling the US out to corporations, foreign or domestic!

Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes. Can they ever damage to a nuclear power plant, causing a radiation leak, or worse? Maybe this needs to be asked by our government, in light of the oil leak in the gulf.. We need to investigate and prepare for ANY potential disaster.

Even disasters would be more welcomed by profiteers (selling disaster relief) than preventing disasters.

Hi, I want to work in Tennessee or Louisiana for disaster relief. I was wondering what I would have to do to be a volunteer there. Do they just supply me with money for shelter and thats it? How hard is it to get accepted if you have no previous volunteer work. Any other things you want to add I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks!
I want to go to Tennessee or Louisiana in August from the 1st of the month to maybe the 15th or something, is that possible? What say do I have in that?

This country has been in a state of virtual collapse since the Duvalier regime and people are only paying attention to the poverty and suffering now…

is this just a publicity stunt for many countries around the world? this smells fishy, as Haiti has been needing rebuilding for quite a while, and that we only offer it now after so many Haitians have died…is preposterous.

I really want a job in disaster relief, well, more so a career. Either as a medic, or lackey, because I love to help people, but I also need to get paid in life, ya know? A friend of mine said that the U.S. Air Force are commonly at disaster relief sites, but I cannot find it on their website. Are there any careers in the military that relate? Thanks very much.

providing shelter and food kind of stuff. i don’t mean to sound pretentious i really don’t, but being a young male, there is just something about taking risks that makes it a whole lot more meaningful & exciting to me…i intend on applying to become a local volunteer firefighter but doing some kind of international disaster relief would be great. like search and rescue, putting out fires, providing food and shelter too, but mostly physical

Would we be able to survive a mass extinction event where let’s say 70% of all species become extinct?

Are we too specialized for intelligence to "weather" such an event?

What have you thought about how you will handle this?

What will you have to do?

What actions have you already taken?

Could you care any less about it?

It seems like all corners of the world are helping out with donations to help the impoverished country and many countries like the United States, Great Britain, Mexico, and Canada are on the island with some troops and doctors trying to help out as much as they can.

I’m very young but never in my life have I seen the world come together to try and help out for such a disaster. The closest before was the tsunami in Indonesia.

It’s awesome to see.

I live in Canada and am greatly troubled by the disaster in Haiti. However, I learned after donating to the 9/11 funds that most of the money never reaches the people and services that need it. Does anyone know of a charity that is not corrupt and that will ensure my money goes to the right places? Thanks!

What would the CAP be like for older adults (40 years old?) I’m not a pilot so what else could I do? I would especially be interested in disaster relief if they help in that capacity. Are there any physical requirements (push-ups, sit-ups, run) for older adults? Anything you could tell me would be VERY helpful.

When we deployed for the hurricane/disaster relief during Gustav and Ike, we were stationed at the AMR headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi. Our commander was military personnel. I asked him which branch he was affiliated with and he explained it as a little-known emergency medical service branch that actually IS officially part of the military, but I don’t remember what it was. He wore BDU’s, but the name and branch patches were with blue lettering. Not affiliated with your typically known branches of army, navy, af, marines, or coast guard.

What is it?
