A BP cleanup crew shovels oil from a beach on May 24, 2010, at Port Fourchon, La. (John Moore/Getty Images)With its one-month anniversary passed, the Gulf oil spill has reached the shoreline, and it isn't pretty. Today's photo depicts the onshore efforts of a BP cleanup crew as it took shovels and garbage bags to the shores of Port Fourchon, La. BP CEO Tony Hayward visited the beach on Monday with reporters in tow and said BP was committed to cleaning up "every last drop." But with 32 national wildlife refuges at risk of being affected by the BP oil spill, officials from Texas to Florida are worried that cleanup, if possible, may come too late.

Two things that have affected mankind the most, oil & god.
It is time for a boycott of BP.
Drill babe drill.....
Here's something that I haven't seen one reporter ask, but seems to me to be a pretty important question. What are they doing with all that toxic gunk (oil, polluted sand, contaminated seaweed, dead animals, etc) that they are picking up?? Where is all that stuff going?? It MUST be classified as toxic waste and therefore just can't be dumped anywhere and it must, by now, be equal to hundreds of tons....anyone know what kind of lie our government is trying to lay on us about this disposal issue???
