Let's hope that Brian Williams and the rest of the media do not tire of covering this slow-motion disaster, because unfortunately, the worst is yet to come from the oil spill.

We in Louisiana very much appreciate the coverage - and the more honest the reporting on what has happened and its ecological, economic, and human impacts - the better! We'll make all "Honorary Louisianans" if they'll keep this level of coverage up all along the Gulf Coast through the summer - and maybe into the fall and beyond!

There just aren't words to adequately express how outrageous all of this has become - it's beginning to get hard to do more BP-bashing and talk of how slow the governmental response has been. Ineptitude all around, and unfortunately, hundreds of thousands - and likely millions - of lives of all along the Gulf Coast are being impacted by the economic impacts and millions of birds and aquatic animals have been killed by the ecological calamity.

We should understand that no company - even one as big as BP - will have the resources to set this right. What has been destroyed and spoiled will take years - perhaps decades to come back. Now, we will have to think about how to rebuild the coast, repopulate the ocean, and retrain and make whole - and that's not really possible - all whose livelihoods, businesses, and properties have been impacted by this oil spill tragedy.
