There are a number of articles all over the interwebs this morning talking about BP's announcement that gushing oil disaster in the Gulf could be stopped by the end of the month. 

BP is both quick to make the announcement and yet is making sure everyone knows that there are no promises, that their goal of July 20-27 is "in a perfect world" and "with no interruptions", and that they're still counting on their original deadline of the end of August. 

Meanwhile, of course, this means that -- best case scenario -- we'll have had 60,000 gallons of oil pumped into the Gulf for just under 100 days. 

So this 'success' is certainly hollow at best, though I am happy the damn thing will stop dumping into the Gulf.
