There continues to be no bigger story in the country and in Florida than the slowly spreading oil slick from a blown out drilling rig that erupted two weeks ago off of Louisiana’s coast.

We wrote several different posts about it yesterday.  One was after a conference call where one USF College of Marine Science professor discussed what was happening, and how he didn’t see the spill approaching Florida’s west coast;

We also had reports from what various Florida politicos were saying throughout the day regarding the ongoing environmental and economic crises;

Also in the news: Ginny Brown-Waite responds to her growing chorus of critics displeased with her hand selecting her would be successor in Congress;

And we sat down with Kendrick Meek the other day.  Read excerpts from our interview with him here.
