>>" The best estimates for the volume of the oil spill is that it will pump about 100 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico—a body of water that contains 643 quadrillion gallons of water. So the oil spilled by BP would, evenly diluted, be measurable only as parts per billion—a virtually undetectable trace amount. Of course, that oil won't be evenly diluted. It will hit in damaging concentrations in some areas of the coastline and in some Gulf fishing grounds. But the history of previous spills on this scale indicates that the Gulf will recover with surprising quickness. So as serious as this is for those on the Gulf Coast, it is a crisis that is temporary and regional. "<<

Ohmigosh...someone contact Joe Barton immediately...we need to apologize to BP more profusely and beg their forgiveness...we must write, email and call Congress immediately and tell them we want to pay BP for all the embarrassment and costs we have caused them for this trivial "accident" in the GOM.
