‘Bottles of Hope’

Posted on | June 11, 2010 | 8 Comments

Shreveport blogger Pat Austin admires the resourcefulness, ingenuity and good humor of her fellow Louisianans:

As awful as this oil spill is, they’re finding ways to fight back, and often keeping a sense of humor about it. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.
Kevin Voisin of Houma is selling limited edition bottles of Louisiana seawater with BP crude in it for $1000. Voisin and his family own an oyster business and are now out of work. He’s doing the bottles in his warehouse and only making a limited number of them with proceeds going to help fishermen who are now out of work.

    $1000? That’s a bit steep.

    Maybe if they lowered the price some..

    The way Obama is dragging his feet on this, their will be plenty of soiled gulf coast line available for more bottles.

    BP should buy them all and gift them to their political bedfellows.

    If you go to the site, you will see that you can get a smaller bottle for only a $25 donation. The $1000 donations are mostly corporate donors. I do agree with Red, BP should buy them all.

    Obama should buy 1,000 bottles from BP’s million dollar donation in his campaign war chest.

    Then drink them all….

    Only kidding – pass some around for Democrat operatives to drink as well!
