Ya think??? Not enough PR spin people on the planet to undue the damage that that gushing well-head in the Gulf is doing. Just wait a few days when the pics of oil-covered pelicans and fishermen crying beside their boats because the oyster beds that were their livelihood have been wiped-out. Then, those beautiful beaches in Gulf Shores and Pensacola may be toast. Plus, thousands of jobs will be wiped-out because gamblers will not be able to stand the oil stench in Biloxi (no matter how many flowers are put-out by the Beau Rivage), and they will not be able to find a hotel room anyway because their will be no room at the inn (as they will be full of FEMA people and recovery workers). It simply keeps going, and going, and gushing, and gushing. This will turn-out to be one of the worst ecological - and economic - disasters of our time. And did I mention, prices at the pump will go up, too!
