A NASA's Eye View of the Gulf of Mexico

From a distance, the most devastating, terrifying and depressing environmental disaster in the history of the world looks like the most devastating, terrifying and beautiful environmental disaster in the history of the world…

Ah, the way the sun gleams of the shimmering oil-soaked corpses of the dead fish. 'Tis almost as though poetry itself — thick and black as a Night Goddess's veil — is gushing forth from the ocean's depth.

Oh, and don't forget, we've only seen about five percent of the oil released into the Gulf so far. So, this shit is gonna get 20 times more beautiful eventually.
