Oh -- who's responsible for coming up with the cap, you ask? The Mystery Plumber. Of course. (Via Brad Plumer.)

See? Between figuring whose "ass to kick" and putting the "boot" on BP, it only took 86 days! And they said we were skeptical of the power of the feds.

Fingers crossed that BP is successful...

Don't worry America. I'm sure the Feds will manage the health care system better than they managed the oil spill.

Incompetent managers look for an "ass to kick." Leaders look for a brain to pick, including the brain of a clever anonymous plumber.

Beautiful. Simply experience and technical proficiency rather than being an "expert" brings about the best solution yet. I, for one, can put my cynicism about this mess aside for a minute and marvel at American ingenuity at work.
