The Associated Press has just released a multimedia tool that hammers home just how many gallons have been pumped into the ocean — and are still polluting the waters.
A Flash interactive called The Oil Spillmeter shows updated totals of how many days the oil has been pumping from the sea floor gusher, measured in a constantly updated total in both gallons and barrels. The estimated worth of the lost oil is also displayed, as well as the amount of gallons BP has managed to capture (a fraction of the total).
The Spillmeter also calculates the total spill in terms more common to the average person: It shows how many 12-oz. cans of soda and how many Olympic-size swimming pools can be filled by the largest offshore spill in U.S. history.

No context, never is any with the MSM. Still looking at 700 million years.

One AP writer wrote last week there was enough oil to fill 3.4 million standard bathtubs. That was all the analog I needed.

WHen the MSM brings back the death count for all the soldiers dead/dying under Obama, maybe I’ll start paying attention to other things they want me to look at.

The homeless went away, too.

All the articles about the worst economy ever, spending all this money in Iraq and Afghanistan, those articles have gone away too.

But they tell us they'd never do that, so that can't be it.
