Drilling Me Softly ….

Biggy Rat and Itchy Brother are back in the news. Obammer reported today that he is going to try and do something about gasoline prices in America.  Part of his new policy of “hope and change” which is basically “I hope they do not remember all these promises, and I sure hope things do change.“  He is pretty sure he is not able to either walk on water or change it into petroleum at this stage of the game.

McSame continues to run all over the country pandering votes, and ignoring roll calls in Washington DC on critical issues concerning energy.  Two of which recently failed by “one vote” and on one of them, he was in his office, but did not bother to go to the floor for the vote. I understand he was in Aspen this weekend, big hotbed of voters there? More >>>

His new policy seems to be convincing young people of America that “liver spots” are the new tattoo of the twenty-first century.  And flip flopping on drilling in Anwar. McCain earlier said he’s “more than happy” to consider flip-flopping on Alaskan oil drilling, but then quickly back-tracked, reiterating his position that the Refuge “is a pristine place and if they found oil in the Grand Canyon, I don’t think I’d drill in the Grand Canyon.”

I have been to the canyon, even rode a goofy lop-eared mule named Sarah to the bottom and this is a safe bet John, there aint no oil in the canyon ……… Trust me.

John McCain is talking a lot about opening up new areas to offshore drilling, and now Barack Obama appears willing to consider the idea, too. A government report supposedly found that drilling won’t lower gas prices, but I’ve also heard that the report was flawed. What’s the deal with offshore drilling, why all the focus on this?

How about solar, how about wind.  How about just showing up to vote on the bills when they come up for a vote. Or the rather obvious solution to this entire problem. How about you boys try removing your collective heads out of the part of you that goes over the fence last!

Three months is a long time during a presidential campaign. Back in early June, neither candidate supported any additional offshore drilling. Now, the Outer Continental Shelf has become Topic A in the presidential race.  Talk about “wind-power” these guys blow back n forth like sunflowers on the Kansas Prairie.

I sure hope that neither of these two guys are “sperm donors” anywhere.

Perhaps we should do like this lady in Estherville, Iowa, did this past week.  I am reading where an elderly woman has been rescued from the trunk of a car that was discovered on a farm in Emmet County in western Iowa.  Sheriff’s officials say a landowner found what looked like an abandoned vehicle on Wednesday afternoon. The man reportedly looked into the car, found a hole in the back seat and discovered there was a person inside the trunk.

Sheriff’s officials say when they arrived at the scene they talked with the 70-year-old woman and eventually found keys and opened the trunk.  They did not identify the woman, who they say was dehydrated and incoherent.

Authorities say foul play is not suspected.  Sheriff’s officials say Spirit Lake police had notified law enforcement on Monday that an elderly woman was reported missing. They didn’t confirm whether it was the same woman who was found in the trunk on Wednesday.  After reading all the way through my copy of USA Today there are times when I feel that she possibly has the best idea.

Drill that boys…
