Save the caribou!

Isn’t she precious? Crazy Nancy is "trying to save the planet." The rest of us will just have to get used to top-dollar gas and the foreign poor to oil spills in their neighborhoods. Not to mention that the Saudis will keep raking in our bucks to spend as they please, for terrorism if they choose.

Wouldn’t want those idealistic DemocRATS to soil their soft hands drilling for American oil offshore or in Alaska. Whatever happened to the party of the little guy? Somehow it became the party of the elite environmental snobs, not to mention anti-soldier Code Pink. Lucky for us, oil is down $23 a barrel since July 11. No thanks to Nancy. But, hey, Baby Barry says we can all save money by keeping a close eye on tire inflation. So helpful. Really makes you want to vote for him, right?

UPDATE:  While BB wants you to eat four-fifty gas, he’s living it up. Party of the little guy? Uh, uh.

Big Corn’s big mistake

Tired of illegal immigration from Mexico? Then you might start lobbying your Congressrat to do away with the ethanol scam. It’s enriching Iowa farmers (especially agribusiness), sure, but it’s adding to the impoverishment of the Mexican poor. When they’ve had enough, guess where they’ll set out for? Instead, we could push our pols to do something sensible for a change, like lifting the restrictions on drilling for more oil, instead of protecting a bunch of Alaskan caribou–and keeping the ag lobby happy.
