Sadly, it's in Salt Lake City, Utah!

"A leaked pipeline sent oil spilling into a Salt Lake City creek, coating geese and ducks and closing a park, officials said Saturday as they started a cleanup effort expected to last weeks.
At least 400 to 500 barrels of oil spewed into Red Butte Creek before crews capped the leak site. Nearly 50 gallons of crude oil per minute initially had spilled into the creek, according to Scott Freitag, a Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman.
"Our real concern is keeping people safe, and keeping the oil from reaching the Great Salt Lake," he told the Deseret News."

The Associated Press: Oil spill covers geese, ducks in Utah
 
Wondering out loud; If it will grab major headline status like the Gulf, Obummer will go political campaigning on this one too?

IMHO; No to the first, Because it's not as bad.
Yup to the second - can't have those mean, evil, vile, greedy oil companies ruin - "His", kingdom - now can we?
