Like everyone else who associates him or herself with Townhall.com, a couple of months ago saw me getting an e-mail petition to sign that said, basically,
"Drill Here. Drill Now."
The result of this petition would be shown to the leaders in Washington, allegedly, to give them an idea as to what "We the people" want to see them doing to address the increase in fuel prices.
What do we get from Comrade Pelosi? We get a bill that "allows" drilling only in places where oil companies know that there is NO oil - outside a 50-mile limit from the shore. Okay. If THAT the way she wants to play it, fine. Forgive me for being ignorant of drilling technologies, but isn't there a technology that we're going to use in ANWR that allows us to drill there utilizing an area relative to that of a postage stamp on a football field. Why can't we utilize this SAME technology in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Mexifornia? Sure. It's going to COST more to utilize this technology, and we can VOTE all the dems out of office in November for throwing us THIS bill as a "compromise."
Let's just be glad that they didn't try to redefine what "NOW" means.
