I'm very depressed. Got my first bit of Fri.13th bad news. It looks like Obama didn't kill the Gulf. Impeachment rears its ugly head.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AFP) – BP's catastrophic well may already be permanently sealed and no further cementing necessary through a relief well, US spill chief Thad Allen said Thursday.

No Methane Monster. We're not All Gonna Die. This is very bad.
I think I'm gonna throw up.

BP Spill May Be Least of Gulf Woes as Farm Chemicals Invade, Wetlands Sink

Visit the Gulf of Mexico today and you’d hardly recognize it as the scene of what President Barack Obama called “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced.”

It’s as if scientists had conducted an insane experiment -- dumping about 4.9 million barrels of oil into the water -- and discovered its effect was in certain ways negligible.

Some 21 years after the Exxon Valdez disaster, globs of oil can still be found in Alaska’s Prince William Sound. Yet the Gulf may be scrubbing itself from the BP Plc spill: Sunshine is evaporating the oil, and bacteria are rapidly digesting it, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Aug. 16 edition.
