#1 This comes after yesterdays news that Congress Critters are considered cute by very few percentage of people, single digits, which means only the squirels sitting in the trees in Berkely support them per yesterdays pole. So these Congressional pole lickers need to do SOMETHING to get the poles back up above 9%.

#3 Ironically, as myself and other Netters have pointed out over the years, the VARIOUS RECYCLING TECH being pushed by the Enviros are predominantly based on advanced materials derived from - WAIT FOR IT - AAWL = OIL, which the Enviros like to claim the World is running low on ala PEAK OIL.

IOW, TO MAKE THEIR RECYCLING AND OTHER ENVIRON AGENDUMS A REALITY, THE ANTI-WOT "NO WAR FOR OIL" ENVIROS + ALIGNED ACTIVISTS BY THEIR OWN SCOPE-LOGIC NEED TO SUPPORT + WAGE A DE FACTO
"WAR FOR OIL". They must in fact support Dubya's alleged "WAR FOR OIL" = WOT, NOT argue agz it.

#4 here is what should be done
1 Revoke the frickin national gas tax
2 Drill here!
3 Do not allow oil produced here to be shipped overseas.
4 Create an american oil exchange for the oil produced here. If we get our dependence down to 30% then the govt could and should set prices on an american exchange.

As the big oil companies complained to congress they are dependant on the whims of foriegner's and must pay what they are charged... so if the govt sets the price per barrel then we would deflect ourself's from the ramp up in china/india. It is american oil we should benifit not the japanese who pay BP a premium for alaska crude.

#5 I'll believe the Dems are serious about domestic energy when John F'kn Kerry and Bridge Kennedy endorse wind farms in their home state.
