It has been suggested that this character is offensive because he resembles a stereotypical Jewish caricature. He has a large nose, beady eyes, and speaks in a gravelly, Jewish-sounding accent and is portrayed as greedy and covetous, another common stereotype of Jews.

of a totally annoying movie!
but this goo that killed the bird is worse because of the dispersants that have broken the normal way oil and sea water react - clean-up is going to be much more difficult now. The area that is being hit now is where my father grew up - I went fishing off the coast of Louisiana many times when I was young... not going there now!

it might add a certain extra timbre to Dr John's voice.
On the downside, though, it might just see him off for good.

She has been in the area for the last few days (but has been on the story since the start. )
Look for her coverage on Youtubes or what ever works - I used to work with bunker fuel oil and I can figure the smell of the oil (and rotting fish, animals & vegetation) is going to be the State Aroma for a few years.
And now it is hurricane season (and the oil in the water increases the temperature so they will be even stronger this year...)
if Dr. John can work some voodoo on those Bastard People, I'm for it!
