The news from the Gulf has not really gotten much better. Today, Wednesday, it got worse. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gallons oil is gushing unchecked into the Gulf of Mexico, as BP has trouble with the containment cap of its gadget, which was trapping some if the oil. BP says it will get the problem fix. Oh sure.

The Associated Press reports, "Before the problem with the containment cap, it had collected about 700,000 gallons of oil in the previous 24 hours. Another 438,000 gallons was burned." That's 1.238 million gallons a day coming to the surface. How much was lost in the Gulf? The Associated Press reports "The current worst-case estimate of what's spewing into the Gulf is about 2.5 million gallons a day. Anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gallons have spilled since the April 20 explosion "

And two of the biggest politicians, in the Gulf region, the Republican Mississippi Governor and the Republican Louisiana Governor, backed by a New Orleans, Republican appointed federal judge with serious conflict of interest want the feds to get out of the way and let these oil drillers drill without adult supervision.
