To the Gulf

We're headed to the gulf -- Venice-- this morning to speak with folks who are reporting incidents to the bucket brigade. According to the map, Greenpeace reports oil sludge making landfall just south of Venice.

Stay tuned for reports on that and the human interest side of the story as the day progresses. In the meantime, the morning news roundup:

The NOAA's forecast for today of the oil's trajectory shows it remaining offshore, for the most part.

Obama calls for a commission to investigate the causes of the oil disaster. If only there were a commission to PREVENT this kind of thing.
