Sauce for the Goose

Three Japanese nuclear reactors built by GE seem to be in the process of radioactive meltdowns. Should Jeffery Immelt, the CEO of GE be summoned to Japan to be humiliated and asked to explain these failures to the Japanese people … and exactly what his company is doing to remedy things? Should he be asked by the Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan, to set up a multi-multi-billion dollar slush fund to compensate the victims of this tragedy? You decide.

(For those who don't get the subtle parallel reference of this blog entry ... think of the BP company as  the gander that was sauced.)

A Few Insolent Questions

President Obama has stopped all oil well drilling in the Gulf of Mexico until we find out the reason(s) for the failure at the BP oil rig.  My question is: how come BP is still allowed to drill the two relief wells to stop the oil from coming out of the original well that exploded?  Do not these relief wells carry the same risks as any other wells that were being drilled? 

Others have also asked these questions:
- If one airliner crashed, would we stop all airline flights until such time as we knew exactly what happened?
- What if we never find out the reason(s) for the explosion, does that mean that we never will be able to drill again for oil in the Gulf?
- What about other countries that are drilling in the Gulf (China, Mexico, Iran), does this order apply to them?  And, if so, how do we enforce it?  And, if not, aren't we being economically foolish? 
- If, as a result of this moratorium, these oil rigs pick up shop and move elsewhere in the world, how do we entice them to come back?
- Who will insure that the extra-legal $20 billon slush fund just pledged to Obama by BP is spent wisely ... and who will keep it from becoming a huge Democrat honey pot?
