Oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a top scientist's video and slides that she says demonstrate the oil isn't degrading as hoped and has decimated life on parts of the sea floor.
That report is at odds with a recent report by the BP spill compensation czar that said nearly all will be well by 2012.

BP to Govt. Cronies: "Gosh, guys, it looks like we made a real mess when we tried to cut corners. This place is pretty much fucked; it's gonna be impossible to clean it up. People are pissed at us, and it could hurt our billions in profits. What should we do?"
Govt Crony: "I know! We'll tell them that we have these 'magic microbes' will just take care of everything and that in a couple of months it will be like it all never happened. People will believe us because we're 'the officials', and that makes us 'right'. Then everyone will go back to being good little naive pigeons and we can all go back to raking in the big bucks."
BP: "Thanks, government cronies! You guys are so worth all of the many millions we pay you every year!"
Govt Crony: "No problem, BP - we got your back. You know where to send the check."
U. of Georgia Scientist to Public: "Um, guys...there's a fricken ton of oil on the Gulf floor and damn near everything is dead. What did you expect - that it would all magically disappear overnight?"
BP & Govt Cronies: "Ohhh shit..."
I feel so pessimistic about human beings
