Some Good News Finally.

I just read this article about the status of the oil spill and on Friday BP claims they siphoned 255,000 gallons of oil from the leak, which is about what it had been leaking out for the past 47 days. This is great news, but I've always been one to be weary to news like this. I really hope these are the actual numbers that were taken from this project and not a product of big corporate analysis - or of the news for that matter. After all, the function of the media has never been to rid the evils of the world; only to persuade us to  except them.
