7-Mile Oil Slick in the Gulf

From Washington's Blog.  Read his site.  Here's the rundown and your three cheery options..

AP noted on Wednesday:



The Plaquemines Parish president, Billy Nungesser, says oil has been spotted in the waters off the coast near Venice and that he believes the seven-mile slick is from last year’s BP spill [and] there have been no recent reports to the Coast Guard of spilled oil in the area.


Is this:


1. A new leak, the source of which hasn't been discovered


2. Old BP oil being churned up from the bottom of the ocean


or


3. A sign that the BP well has started leaking again?


Time will tell.

Just in time for 2011's potentially intense hurricane season.  Exciting!  Always wear your seat belts, people (and Space Monsters).  Always.
