"You are looking at a pristine natural habitat destroyed. You're looking at dead fish floating in the water. You're looking at shorebirds and migratory birds and waterfowl covered in oil," said Kathy Phillips, an environmental activist for Assateague Island, whose title is "coastkeeper." She was imagining a major oil spill washing up on the island's shores. "People on this coast don't have any idea of what it involves," she said.
Actually, we're not looking at any of that. And neither is she. It's all in her fevered head. And what the hell is a "coastkeeper" anyway?

“And what the hell is a “coastkeeper” anyway?”
I have no idea, but is she as hot as the ‘gatekeeper’ in Ghostbusters?
A “coastkeeper” is a socialist term used by environmental useful idiots.
$5 gas is gonna roll over the Moonbats this November and I can’t wait!
You won’t have energy development in this country until the environmentalists suffer a big defeat. And who are the environmentalists allied with? The Democrats.
You really don't want to know.

She sleeps on top of the sheets.
About 4’ on top...
Eastern Surfing Association?
What kind of qualification is that?
Coastkeeper? How nice. Well, I’ve just appointed myself “Lord of the Known Universe”. So my opinions are even more important than hers. More than the World Court even. Kneel to me.
she needs to lose 50 lbs.!
Pristine means "unchanged." The Virginia coastline hasn't been pristine since 1607.

Took several centuries to make the place tolerable for plants, animals and people.
Ok, the gatekeeper has gotten a bit rusty. ;-)
I’m all for drilling, but Assateague Island really is a beautiful place. I can understand why people would be concerned about it being damaged by oil spills.
I’ve just appointed myself Lord of $1.25/gal Petrol and these “coastkeepers” are standing between my people and their heritage. Begone Envirowackos!
Oil floats....and can be sopped up. Stuff happens but the benefit outranks the risk. The economy runs on oil....and hardworking Americans!!
I checked your link — She’s a Brown Shirt disguised by wearing a white shirt, and the friggin’ hypocrite is burnin’ fossil fuel in that boat, doncha know!

With simple air-bag type boom deployment and automatic skimmer return technology, oil biz & nature should be able to get along famously.
More often, it's the Big Gov./Big Oil collusion hiding behind screaming greenies keeping domestic production at bay (instead of in the Bay).
Couldn't have said it any better. The Donkey Party electees could not make themselves appear any more useless, clueless, and stupid than they are now.
This reminded me of the old ads starring Pat Paulson where he was fishing in a stream and able to just scoop up the dead fish floating on the surface.
“I’m confused. Does a coastkeeper trump a riverkeeper?”
LOL, good one. I’m confused too, but I know one thing for certain. The likes of Mr. Fwank being in positions of influence in our federal government want to be our ‘brother’s keeper’.
What a very sad state we’ve come to.
I googled it and oil spills account for just 5% of ocean pollution.
Seperated at birth?
Today, years after the Oil Spill cleanup, efforts on some heavily oiled beaches have been reinstated, and with the help of Mother Nature, the Sound will recover more each year. Prince William Sound today flourishes with marine life, waterfowl, bottom fish, and salmon runs. Visit Valdez and see gorgeous Prince William Sound for yourself!
The town of Valdez actually benefited in some ways.
Valdez, a city of 3,500 people, grew to three times its normal size almost overnight. Bed & Breakfasts sprang up all over the city. Food and clothing stores rolled into town and prices soared. Temporary buildings were erected for Exxon's office space, and rent everywhere went sky-high. Money flowed through town in unprecedented amounts. On average it cost Exxon $1,000 each day to support one worker on a beach cleanup crew. That figure multiplied by 10,000 makes for an astounding sum of money.Jobs were plentiful. Exxon employed many people in the Prince William Sound area to transport supplies to the villages in the Sound, and to support the cleanup crews throughout the oiled areas. Press crews covered every facet of the spill. Environmental groups worked to save the oiled seals, otters, and birds. Alyeska Pipeline Service company, the nonprofit company that manages the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, added a new division to its ranks: SERVS (Service Escort Response Vessels), designed to help prevent another spill and to supply immediate response if one should occur.

Who do you suppose pays Robert Kennedy’s legal fees for these lawsuits? Could be the poor taxpayers?
If a Kennedy's associated with it, you know it.
