Off Post On The Oil Slick.

The President has it right. Neither he, nor any other politician or board of bureaucrats, nor the CEO's and lawyers of the companies, are the ones who should be doing the hands-on decision making and the work. Who is best?

Nobody knows more about that rig than they do, and nobody cares more about fixing it than guys who lost their friends out there.

How to clean up the oil slick? Make BP agree to set up collection stations and pay anybody $1.00 a gallon who will figure out a way to bring it to them. Let the Junkyard Wars guys and mud-racer builders loose on a way to harvest that stuff into a tank in their boat, or any other clever trick, and it will most quickly disappear.
