Not a damned thing to do but just sit and watch, is there? Talk about a sense of dread. My friends and neighbors at al.com have put together the best oil spill portal I’ve found.
An offshore oil rig might be the most heavily regulated environment in the world. I’ve thought of this excellent Jonah Goldberg piece, published last year and reposted on the National Review Online site a month ago, more than once. Have a read.
That’s part of the reason that I’m beginning to have trouble with the notion that this was an accident. Now I understand the rig sank, and I understand the leak is a mile underwater, and these things tend to complicate forensics. But twelve days later, for no one to be able to speak in anything but the most general terms about what happened, and considering all of the contingencies for which these crews are prepared—well, it smells really rotten.

Okay, now, the oil spill will be what’s to blame for the economy continuing to stagnate. You watch. “The, uh, economy, uh, was recovering nicely, uh, until that oil geyser, uh, happened in… the gulf.”
