Pulitzer Prize winner Mark Fiore is out with a new editorial video. The oil spill has been good for somebody's business, apparently.

Meanwhile, the cap on broken well is capturing some of the oil that's ruining the Gulf.


The Washington Post quotes BP CEO Tony Hayward saying "the majority, probably the vast majority" of the oil gushing from the well will be captured by the device installed last week.

Hayward, of course, is the one who also said any environmental damage will be "modest."
