This is a very clear explanation of what BP is trying to do to seal the Deepwater Horizon well. It contains good, technical graphics to illustrate the plan and current progress. The theory seems sound. I hope they succeed.
My gut feeling is that BP will screw it up. If they do, end of story; the red crude, methane and hydrogen sulfide may continue to “spill” out for years. But, as I said, I hope they succeed.

George Santayana famously observed that, “Those who won’t learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.” This article is intended to present some recent history from which some of us might—or might not—learn.
Wikipedia published an article entitled “History of the Soviet Union (1985–1991) which described the causes and events surrounding the A.D. 1991 collapse of the former USSR. The article is remarkable in that so many of the events and causes for the Soviet collapse seem to be occurring again, right here, in the USA.
When asked “Who is the ‘father’ of modern economics?” most economists answer Adam Smith (A.D. 1723-1790). Smith was a Scottish “moral philosopher,” pioneer of political economics, and author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (A.D. 1776)—the first modern work of economics. (Note Smith’s fixation on “morality”. He was a “moral philosopher” and his first book involved “Moral Sentiments”.)
Smith was the quintessential “absent minded professor”. He was fumbling, forgetful and inoffensive—but highly intellectual. Alan Greenspan described The Wealth of Nations as “one of the great achievements in human intellectual history”.
Although Smith is widely cited as the “father of modern economics,” I suspect that someone far less “moral” is the true “father” of modern economics. Smith may be the “father of economics”. He is certainly the “father of classical economics”. But, as you’ll read, the true “father of modern (monetary) economics” is someone far less moral than Smith.

Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) may have a right to know a student’s name, but he doesn’t have a right to physically assault a student. I think the stress of committing treason on a daily basis may be beginning to mount for our politicians. I think they’re scared. I think some of them are getting ready to crack up. I think their growing paranoia and guilt at participating in the destruction of this country may make then increasingly unstable and dangerous.

Because the Supreme Court ruled in Baker v Carr that the federal courts can’t answer “political questions,” and because I’m convinced that my “POLITICAL choice of venue” will determine my “choice of law,” I am currently fixated on all things “political”.
What follows is a brief pdf file that reports on the the three cases in the Supreme Court data base that deal with term “political argument”. It’s worth your time.
