Gulf Oil Spill: Obama To Aides - 'Plug The Damn Hole'

Image via Wikipedia

If this "top kill" method (don't you love how we all become cable TV commentator-level experts at times like this) doesn't work and this oil spill continues to spew muck until mid-August when the relief well is finished, we may see that failing to "plug the damn hole" may indeed be this President's downfall. Shows that we definitely have not learned the lessons of Katrina in any way, shape or form!

Sexual Assault On Plane: Ramesh Advani Arrested For Sexually Abusing Passenger On Continental Flight

Image via CrunchBase

Book'em Dano! Not a cool move - the only question I'd have is jurisdiction when something like this happens on an international flight. Is it U.S. because the flight ended here and it was a U.S. carrier (Continental Airlines), or is it Hong Kong because the flight originated there? Might it be "where" the assault might have taken place during the course of the flight? An interesting international law case - but certainly, our thoughts go out to the woman for this horrible violation. May spur new regulations for those hours on an international overseas flight where the flight crew disappears from the cabin for the most part. Big settlement coming her way from Continental!
