I know what you're thinking -- What has Charlie Sheen done now? But that's not the sheen I'm referring to! No, I'm referencing the sheen caused by the oil rig that blew up in the Gulf of Mexico last week. Recent reports indicate that nearly 42,000 gallons of oil are leaking per day and worry is growing as to the potential for ecological damage.
When this story first broke, what amazed me was that the initial reports indicated that there would be no oil leak. Reporters on two or three different networks stated that company and government officials were confident that the danger had been contained. It is now readily apparent that these pronouncements were baldfaced lies or spoken by doofus heads. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that, if an oil rig blows up in the middle of a body of water, an oil spill will be the result!!
I mean, really, it's just plain commonsense.
