Okay, so now we're looking at a spill gushing at the rate of one or two Exxon Valdez spills a week. And....we don't know how many more weeks of this.
I almost want to laugh as this just gets progressively worse. You know, in one of those laugh-in-the-face-of-death kind of laughs---the hopeless kind.
