if you want to know how serious the oil spill in the gulf is \u2013 all i have to do is mention the<\/span> shrimp and petroleum festival<\/span><\/a>. it\u2019s held every year in morgan city, louisiana, and it pretty much sums up two of the most important products that come from these parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

shrimp is big down here. if you\u2019ve been to new orleans, lafayette, baton rouge or any of the small towns that dot the map, you\u2019ve had some of the best meals you\u2019ll find anywhere on earth. nearly all of them are smothered in shrimp. order grits at breakfast and you\u2019re asked if you want shrimp with that. fried, boiled, or stuffed you better like shrimp. don\u2019t think people aren\u2019t worried about the shrimp industry \u2013 both because of the economy and the gastronomy. there are stories of folks buying a hundred pounds of the crustaceans to cram in their freezers. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i heard a policy maker today say that the oil spill has already reached the capitol building. he was talking metaphorically, of course, but regulation, safety and oil prices are even hotter topics today then they usually are.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

it really is too early to tell what\u2019s going to happen, but this is a disaster that is playing itself out in slow motion. our local media are doing a good job at reporting what they know. unfortunately, nobody knows a whole lot right now. a lot of oil is about to gum up the works, but how bad and for how long is anyone\u2019s guess. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the buzz is about who\u2019s going to pay for this mess. will bp be stuck with the tab, or will it fall to the taxpayers? will the price of oil go up and benefit the state\u2019s ailing economy? will the weekend\u2019s forecast of storms accelerate the slick\u2019s progress to shore? we just don\u2019t know. i\u2019ll keep you posted on what the sense from baton rouge is. here\u2019s the shameless plug for louisiana public broadcasting \u2013 visit our website for archives of news conferences, media reports and links. it\u2019s at<\/span> www.lpb.org\/oilspill<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
