On those two relief wells...

Why is it assumed two is better? Think about it.

Wouldn't focusing on one -- and making sure you get it right? -- beat (or equal) two as far as relieving the pressure goes? Once you stop the spew, one is as good as two.

Plus, by concentrating all your efforts and energy on one ... delicate operation, well I can see why the engineers leading the BP team might first have proposed to go for one and get it right.

Whether the Obama administration made the right call, voiced by an intense Rahm Emanuel this weekend pulling PR duties explaining how the administration is in charge -- (paraphrasing) We insisted on two relief wells when initially they only wanted one...

Let's just hope his intensity doesn't overpower intelligence.

Over-rated people sometimes "win" big like that -- and make no mistake, the libs won big last week in their typical manner of tossing money at a problem and thinking it's over. But how much fun can it be to be the biggest winner ... on a losing team?Superstar yourself, while the team as a whole falters.

I dunno. Don't think it would be much enjoyable myself... but that's me.
