Missing Oil from the Gulf Found

The Times seems to have lost track of its oh-my-gawd-the-most-humongous we're-all-going-to-die-and-kill-the-earth catastrophe ever!

The immense patches of surface oil that covered thousands of square miles of the gulf after the April 20 oil rig explosion are largely gone, though there continue to be sightings of tar balls and emulsified oil here and there. -- NY Times

That undersea oil is sneaky stuff. Always oozing around. Turns out we seem to have shipped it back to China to help with the balance of trade.

What an absolute tragedy and horrific scene of that oil spill. It's hard to imagine they are cleaning it up with their own hands and wooden boats!
