Oil Reaches Louisiana Marshlands, tar balls found in Key West (is anyone fired yet?)

Saw this yesterday and forget to post it:

Screencap source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/18/AR20100518016...

But what you can read in that screencap isn't everything:

"And hundreds of miles from the Louisiana coast, there was a worrisome discovery: Tar balls, which are sticky clumps of decayed oil, were found Monday in Key West, Fla. Officials said they were being tested to determine whether they came from the leaking BP well."

"But the most ominous news came from south Louisiana, where the Mississippi Delta peters out into the Gulf of Mexico. There, instead of the tar balls that had previously washed ashore from the spill, thick, brown oil was infiltrating the edges of the marshes."

Forget firing people, who can we lock up for this???

I say we arrest the next person to make this sound like no big deal.
