Pretty Much Permanently

I was listening to Boortz making fun of people who are whipped into a frenzy by, and deriding the MSM media outlets whipping people into a frenzy reporting about, the nuclear disaster in Japan. Then a news break comes on and the reporter leads in and announces the "expert" and they play a soundbyte from an interview. Said "expert" says the radiation in the ocean, once it gets into the seabed, is there ". . . pretty much permanently."

Hey, genius: what's the half-life of that radioactive material? Good job with the responsible reporting there, MSM! Hint: a half-life of a month or three is much less worrisome than a half-life of a few hundred-thousand years. How about a comparison of relative radiation levels vs. a day's exposure to the sunshine? No? Just hysterics? Okay, then.
