The biggest problem facing Mississippi in the wake of a massive oil spill in the Gulf isn't tarred beaches or ecological waste, the state's governor Haley Barbour said on Sunday. It's the national press corps, which, he asserted, is inflating the disaster's current impact and, as a result, decimating the state's tourism industry.

Also, it's a rainy day here. We've had rainy nights more or less regularly but this is the first rainy day in quite a while. It's dark and muggy, and the forecasters say it might still get a whole lot worse (high winds, hail).
So why not?
