Drilling Bad for Climate Legislation
2010-04-05
With the health-care debate behind us, the U.S. Senate is expected to dive into something equally as divisive: climate legislation.

Drill, Baby, Drill? Let's face it: When former President George W. Bush tells you to start weaning yourself off an addiction, it's time for rehab. Mr. Bush, of course, was referring to America's addiction to oil in a State of the Union speech a few years ago. So what's happening now? That bad, bad President Obama's feeding our heroinlike addiction by raising the specter of drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf.

But Mr. Obama's announcement was enough of a shocker for 10 Senate Democrats from coastal states to tell the prez Thursday he can kiss their votes for climate legislation good-bye if offshore drilling is expanded.

Is there another planet named Toledo that I don't know about?

#2  Hey, we should listen to them. Then all of our communities can become a utopian oasis like Toledo.

#1  The Toledo Blade, of course, doesn't bother to offer a single practical, supportable alternative to finding more oil and natural gas.
