"The Coast Guard is saying that a mile-long oil sheen is spreading from the site off an offshore petroleum platform that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana," says the AP now. Whatever. Why should we care? We all know that oil apparently just goes away. Just like Gulf War I prepared us for Gulf War II, so has Gulf Spill I inured me to this latest.
Also I don't really need to think about the fact that Mariner Energy, which owns the blown-up oil rig, has at least two top executives who worked at Enron, right?

third time's the charm.
And here I was about to get depressed. You cheered me up, Art. Thank you.
-WHEW- No spill!- just a big blooper! Ok, we can all go back to being depressed now.
i've lost all respect for christo and jeanne-claude.
I think it's a plot by BP to shift blame and liability. "It was the other guy's oil that killed this here dolphin. Can't prove it wasn't."
"'The Coast Guard is saying that a mile-long oil sheen is spreading from the site off an offshore petroleum platform that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana,' says the AP now." Just for the sake of argument: was Jermaine Jackson anywhere in the vicinity?
That Michael Sheen is EVERYWHERE.
I was thinking Charlie.
A Broadway musical owns an oil rig?
(sorry)
Or, you know, a shuttered Broadway play. Same thing, right?
