Someone was interviewed on the radio and called the oil spill “the worst disaster ever to hit our country”. Sure. Five years since Katrina, less than ten years after 9/11, and fifteen years after the OKC Bombing, this oil spill (which has yet to claim a human life and is being met with nothing but harrumphs and brays from the White House) is the “worst ever”.

Do they seek these people out for sound bytes? How do they keep getting on the radio?
