Environmentalists opposed to a planned liquified natural gas terminal and pipeline in southwest #Louisiana have lost a court battle over a federal permit for the project.

The Sierra Club and the Healthy Gulf organization had asked an appeals court in New Orleans to review and vacate the permit granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Driftwood project.

Are you ready #fundamentalist #Christians? It's time to play MAKE THAT EXCUSE! Remember #OralRoberts call for cash to keep God from killing him? Remember all the excuses made for that one? How about all of those preachers who've been arrested for heinous crimes? You answered the call and made-up excuses for every one of them! Well, here's one more!

What's up with people's muted reactions? This is insane shit that should not be happening - replicated at a global scale. And it's getting worse day by day.

Hello, world.

Sorry I've been missing for quite a while.

May 1 I lost my job. July 1, my #brother went into #hospice. I am now in #Oregon instead of #Louisiana as I take care of my brother.

He was only expected to live about a week, we are starting week 3, but he is getting weaker and weaker.

Anyway, I still need a real job. Still trying to survive. Trying to figure out how we are going to pay the $2000 for his #cremation.

If you can help, I would be grateful.
