Who knew?


The response to the Gulf oil spill has triggered some interesting responses from both sides of the aisle. The GOP first said it was no big deal, and then that the whole thing was Obama's fault, and then the topper--apologizing to the heads of BP for having criminal hearings. Uh huh. The Tea Party is acting like, well, the maniac fringe that it is. You gotta love how they hired all those waffle makers to be their spokespeople. The Dems, well, they just can't decide who to put in charge--so they resort to putting a BP executive in charge of the clean-up. BP justs wants to put some money in the bank, burn the oil, and get back to deep water drilling--without making the necessary safety changes first.

Now, I'm no expert on deep water drilling. It would appear that apparently no one is. But, I would think that, if they can rescue sailor from a sunken submarine, observe undersea life at extreme depths, and travel routinely under polar icecaps, somebody somewhere has the technology to fix this leak at the source. We've all seen or played the ring toss game at the fair. It just doesn't seem to be logical (there is that pesky word again) to keep trying to throw a cap down there and hope it hits the right spot. I suppose the government could just hire Costner, and in the meantime try to get the Gulf loaded so it just won't care (the brewer's yeast idea had me laughing so hard I nearly made a mistake in my pants.)
