Obama orders more manpower to spill cleanup
President Obama said Tuesday that he has directed federal authorities to triple manpower in the Gulf of Mexico in places where oil from a ruptured underwater pipe has hit shore or is close to impact.
He added that a new presidential commission headed by former Florida Sen. Bob Graham and former Environmental Protection Agency Administrator William Reilly will “thoroughly examine the [BP oil] spill and its causes so we never face such a catastrophe again.”
Obama said he expects the commission to “follow the facts wherever they may lead” and report back to him in six months.
His administration “will bring those responsible to justice,” he said, insisting that BP will continue to be held accountable for the spill.
In an effort to control the message and release what it says is accurate information about the Gulf Coast oil spill, the Obama administration will no longer do joint briefings with BP, senior administration officials said Monday. Instead, all briefings will come from the administration’s point man on the disaster, Adm. Thad Allen.
The move comes amid growing concerns from the White House that BP is delivering inaccurate information and not being transparent, the officials said. Read the rest of this entry »

Boone’s Farm; just as everyone is equally
familiar with the brands: Smirnoff and Ciroc Vodkas,
Crown Royal, and Nuvo. The man behind the Midwest
marketing strategy of these top-shelf titles—minus
the Boone’s Farm—is Cornell Boone, founder of the

ISlightly Askew Theater Ensemble : Hamletmachine
Wednesdays-Saturdays, June 9-26 at 7:30 PM at 2720 Cherokee Street in the ArtDimensions Gallery.
Featuring: Adam Elkana-Hale, Johanna Elkana-Hale, William Rauch, Rachel Tibbetts, Kimberly C. Weller Directed by Ellie Schwetye; Choreography by Sarajane Alverson. The plays of Heiner Muller are as dense as they are brief – shell fragments fired into our collective psyche. What Mueller does is boil down a universally recognizable story to its skeleton. Of his vast body of work, Hamletmachine is probably Mueller’s most recognizable, and possibly the least accessible. Slightly Askew Theatre Ensemble will transform Mueller’s dark Hamletmachine text into a circus-like music video that both celebrates and challenges traditional theatre forms, using the best elements of pop culture to take the mystique out of the text, and make it accessible. The spectator may recognize the farce behind the so-called despair of the intellectual: Hamlet is a clown; Ophelia is a Lady Gaga.
