Oops

I am pretty sure we haven't really gotten the whole story on the dramatic way we are about to ruin most of the Gulf Coast.

Sure, there are quarter page stories in the paper and minute long segments on the evening news.

But we all have stuff to do...

Like get to work, do some laundry and watch American Idol or Lost.

This is the first bit of coverage that seems to last longer than four paragraphs or 45 seconds.

Fucked.

Really fucked.

I don't know what else to say.

We face hundreds and hundreds of miles of Three Mile Island type devastation along the coast.

It is day twenty three and I still don't get the impression that anybody knows how to actually stop it.

One seemingly absurd idea seems to follow another.

When does hurricane season start?

Somehow, I don't think that will help matters much...

Even if they do stem the leak, in the mean time.

Update:

The NY Times points out the possible flawed math in the "calculation" of the spills size here.
