Who Plugged The Damn Hole?
From Wizbang, the story of an ordinary Joe the plumber whose design for a new containment cap was sent to BP, and now seems to be the device that has actually worked (so far, at least).
Good old American ingenuity. I'm heartened that BP and the feds may have actually listened to an idea other than their own (not that this plumber will ever receive credit).
I'm still so angry about this event that I can't even post updates. When the new cap actually stanched the flow of pollutants into the gulf, my only thoughts were "it's about damn time" and "how do we clean this crap out of our water and wetlands".
