This oil gusher is a real problem on the way to a major catastrophe. It has to be stopped.
I was watching late night TV yesterday and saw an infomercial for a magic putty that instantly stops all leaks. For $ 9.99 you get 5 rolls of putty and a tomato slicer and an onion chopper. So we have BP order 2 million of them which would give them 10 million rolls of putty. They work the putty into a ball to activate it and then inject it into the what was supposed to be the blow off preventer and there is a good chance the leak will stop immediately. That is what the infomercial says it will do. Crisis over. The 2 million tomato slicers and onion choppers can then go to the people who have lost their jobs due to the oil spill and they can put them on Ebay to make a few bucks back. BP can deduct the value of the tomato slicers and onion choppers from individual claims, minus of course the shipping and handling costs. This will make BP happy which seems to be the whole idea of the current cleanup process. If they are happy, we are happy.

Oil Leak and Dinosaurs
The gulf oil leak is a disaster and growing out of control. I heard today that there is enough oil in the under sea reservoir to continue to leak at the current rate for 100 years. Now that is a lot of oil.
I wish our government took this more seriously. Blaming BP is fine, make them pay, but meanwhile get the mess cleaned up. It looks like no one knows what to do except BP who also does not know what to do. Who gave them the permits to drill this thing? Who reviewed the environmental impact statement? Are they getting a cost of living raise this year? If this was a Seinfeld episode it would be funny but it isn't. What a mess of oil and ineptitude. The government is good at some things but not so good at dealing with environmental disasters.
But back to the point. If this oil reservoir is as big as they say it is-100 years at the current rate-where did it come from? Decaying dinosaurs? That is a lot of dead reptiles piled up. I am not a creationist and Darwin makes a lot of sense with amphibians to reptiles to mammals to apes to people. But how did all these dinosaurs pile up to create this much oil? I don't know where it came from but I know where it is going which is in the ocean and that is not a good thing.
Billions of dead dinosaurs now back in the primordial soup. It makes you wonder what will come out of the gulf with all this old DNA swimming around. Maybe it will congeal and reform into dinosaurs and they will walk out on land. Then we can herd them into the Grand Canyon and the Gulf will be clean. Whoa, I have to get to work on the screen play.

Mexico and Arizona
Big state dinner at the white house for Mexican President last night. Color guards, bands, food, must have cost $ 2 million. All had a great time.
But..
They are in a bubble in Washington after only 16 months in power. Apparently it slipped their mind that:
-17% of people in US are unemployed and can't afford McDonalds
-Europe is imploding which will hurt our economy
-Oil is leaking at a zillion barrels a day in the gulf creating the largest environmental disaster in history
-Over 60% of people in US like the Arizona law
-Holder, Napolitano and maybe Obama have yet to read the Arizona law, but are out there criticizing it
-Blaming Fox news is starting to wear thin
What is going to happen is a bunch of new Tea Party right wing/libertarians are going to get elected while the elite in Washington are eating gourmet fajitas. They are going to be pushing for a constitutional amendment to make abortion criminal, cutting all federal entitlement programs, trying to stop the health care bill from becoming enacted and working to bring us back to a conservative agenda.
All while the big party in Washington is continuing.
So keep your new found arrogance, keep denying that people in the country feel differently about things than you do and watch your opportunity to transform our society slip down the drain. You were up 3-0 is the best out of 7, and now you are at 3-3. Time to focus, but it seems the lights are too bright. Too late for a rousing speech-we have heard that. We need some action, commitment and understanding. That is tough to deliver from a Washington bubble.

Deficits Ruining the World-Not
Europe is melting down
riots in Greece
high unemployment
blame the deficit
Oil spill in US Gulf
blame the deficit
Can't get a good cup of coffee
blame the deficit
high unemployment in the US
blame the deficit
Democrats on the way to getting crushed in November
blame the deficit
almost a really bad car bomb in Times Square
blame the deficit
volcano in Iceland messes up air traffic
blame the deficit
disc problem in Tiger Woods neck
blame the deficit
It is like a tidal wave of nonsense but there is no one in power to stem the error of judgement and restore rational thinking
so hunker down for slower or no growth, buy bonds and gold, and just watch all of the experts on their tread mills blame the deficit
and when things do get worse because they are trying to cut the deficit and the deficit necessarily stays high they will blame Bush. We can thank him for that. A couple of wars, no SEC enforcement, financial meltdown, a bad scene in the superdome. I think we can blame him for at least 20 more years. So when things are bad till 2030, blame Bush. But after that, it falls on Obama and his deficit morons. And they get the blame till 2050.
