BP has a new CEO. The leak is sealed. The "Oil Spill Update" section with the live view of the "spill" on newspaper websites have disappeared. The pictures of a record-setting 130-pound catfish caught in the Missouri river have replaced the pictures of the oil-soaked pelicans on the Gulf beaches. BP's stock price has climbed 20% in the last month. The same reporters who took boat rides around the Gulf and showed off their gloved hands dipped in oil, are now quietly saying that there is no oil on the coast now. Pundits are stating that the effect of the largest oil spill was not as bad as predicted.

Is the world back to normal? Can we all sigh now? Can I drive my Hummer again without fear of getting shot at?
