Spill, Baby, Spill

It's being reported that over 210,000 gallons of oil a day are leaking into the Gulf of Mexico and that the slick is coming ashore in Lousiana as we speak. There should be no partisanship in the attack on this environmental, ecological and soon to be econonomic disaster. It underscores the concerns that many of us have over offshore drilling. These spills, plus the destruction of the wetlands caused by the swath cut for the oil pipelines in Lousiana, are reason enough to shut down the platforms. I hope those words "Drill, Baby, Drill" stick in the throats of everyone that uttered them during the last presidential campaign.
