IT TOOK LONG ENOUGH!

Shit sakes. This is ridiculous.

BP chokes off the oil leak; now begins the wait:

NEW ORLEANS – BP finally choked off the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday — 85 days and up to 184 million gallons after the crisis unfolded — then began a tense 48 hours of watching to see whether the capped-off well would hold or blow a new leak.

To the relief of millions of people along the Gulf Coast, the big, billowing brown cloud of crude at the bottom of the sea disappeared from the underwater video feed for the first time since the disaster began in April, as BP closed the last of three openings in the 75-ton cap lowered onto the well earlier this week.

Yes, it is a relief. But considering that the oil that already gushed into the Gulf is having a huge impact on everything from commerce to the environment. (Sweet Lady, the environment is taking the biggest portion of shit from this. You can see a video here “Horrifying” no longer covers this. No words can.)

You know, I think I will have to take a page from Ian Somerhalder’s book, or rather Twitter feed, and join in on the boycott. Even if it hurts my wallet. (Maybe especially because it will. Then it’ll actually mean something.)
