Last week's report on the oil spill was a little rosy!

Last week I mentioned two reports that showed up in the newspaper:

• The spill would dissipate before reaching shore, and wouldn't have much effect.
• The feds were directing it towards the Mississippi Coast, because it would be easier to clean there.

Both of them have turned up false. Oil has now turned up on the beaches of both Louisiana and Alabama… but not Mississippi. (If I understood correctly, which I might not have.)

—Yet. God willing, it will never turn up, but things ain't lookin' good so far.
