Now this really chafes my hide.

Particularly the paragraph:

Suttles and other officials said that the “top kill” attempt to stop the flow did so — but only as long as they were pumping. When the pumping stopped, the oil resumed its escape.

Once you get the flow killed by pumping, you should start putting more viscous material in followed by concrete until you can’t pump it. You don’t stand back and admire your handiwork, particularly at those well-head pressures. These pressures can displace material unless it is bonds to the drill hole.

It seems to strengthen my opinion of BPs approach. They really don’t want to kill the well – they would have to write off the $Ms that they spent on drilling the hole. Instead, they want to put some sort of ‘cover’ that allows them to capture the oil. Their ‘new’ approach looks just like the previous ‘caps’ they tried, but with a different name: “lower marine riser package”.

Suttles said the lower marine riser package “should be able to capture most of the oil” that has fed what is now the largest oil spill in U.S. history, but he cautioned that the new cap will not provide a “tight mechanical seal.”

For a guy without a lot of political experience, he sure has had quite a bit of success in getting his agenda passed: stimulus plan, healthcare, and now DADT. That’s three fairly large agenda items pased in only 1.3 years of a four year term.

It is not the number of bills that get passed, but the quality.

Stimulus plan – still a big question mark as to whether this paid off. Too much of it went towards ‘special interests’. The Bush(like it or not) ‘bailout’ worked quite well, and it looks like it will cost us (taxpayers who a footing the bill) less than the original tab. Many of the banks that were loaned money under TARP had to pay interest on that money, and when they paid the TARP back.. the gov had the interest and the principal on money the gov just ‘invented’.

Health plan – this was too ambitious. There are some good parts to it, but it should really have been re-worked. The real beneficiaries are the insurance companies. Remember to profit margin jump in auto insurance companies where auto insurance was made mandatory in CA?

DADT repeal is going to create a bigger problem than people realize. In the military, there is separation between male and female ‘facilities’. This is to help preserve order and insure safety. When dealing with a homosexual, you basically have a male with ‘interests’ that are structured as a female (or visa versa). It would be like mixing the male and female facilities completely.

You forgot to mention the ‘financial reform’ he is proposing, without really looking at the cause of the failure.

Congress has worked best when it is opposed, when a ‘stalemate’ exists. This allows things to be thought and worked through thoroughly. More laws, regulations going through does not necessarily mean better laws and regulations.

Yes, as a consumer of the oil industry, I’m farther removed from the oil industry; so I have more leeway to criticize the oil industry than a government employee or contractor criticizing the hand that feeds.

Non-sequitur, does not follow, nor is it supported by facts presented or at hand.

As an employee, you draw a wage from the employer – you are a cost to the company. Hopefully you produce more than you cost.

As a consumer, you are a source of profit to the company. You have a choice of alternate products. You could choose to go electric and have your own solar farm. By choosing an industry, you are providing support for it.

From a standpoint of supporting an industry, a consumer is much more important that an employee. There has to be someone to sell the goods to.
