I kinda feel sorry for BP, it's not their rig that blew up and it wasn't their crew on the rig. BP is a hard luck company, they had just bought the Amaco Plant in Texas City when it blew up.

I suppose the relief well will work (3 months from now) but something sooner would have been nice. I live right on the Texas coast so I guess some of this slick will come to my house (Hey, maybe I can sue too?). The spill is going to put a lot of people out of work for a long time. Businesses and jobs will be lost. There have been bigger splits but this one is in a very bad area.

Nah. You're safe. The spill is slightly to the east of the mouth of the Mississippi, and moving east.
