The British Petroleum offshore oil rig disaster has now generated an oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico larger than the state of Rhode Island. Not only will this disaster eclipse the drunken exploits of the Exxon Valdez but it has now started wash up on Louisiana’s shores. It is leaking 200,000 gallons a day and will take 3 months to fix. Anyone from this point on who argues that offshore oil drilling can be done without environmental impact is either ignorant or an asshole.

Update – May 11 Now larger than Connecticut.
