heh.
Maybe.
For the rest of the country, the oil spill is done, over, old news.

I watched the National Geographic special on the spill last night. Those first responders were working their asses off to find survivors and put out the fire. It was really eerie watching the rig sink while it was still burning.

Everything that could have gone wrong did. Lets hope (and put policies in place that will insure) this never happens again. That being said, we still need to drill in the gulf, at least in the short term.

For the president to just shut everything down is a knee-jerk reaction. He has got to take into consideration the big picture.
