Katrina deja vu
A disaster heavily hyped by the media is turning out to be not quite as apocalyptic as they'd hoped.
You can often tell when a crisis has "jumped the shark" when all the consequences start moving into a vague future or the realm of the hypothetical. Kind of like climate change did.
You're going to hear a lot now about how we won't know how bad this is "for years." Additionally, I've noticed a shift from BP's role in the oil leak to BP's role in the Lockerbie terrorist release.
Fun fact: 200 million gallons of oil is a cube of oil 300 feet on a side.
