I was watching some of the cable news channels yesterday and the houndogs of hell have been unleashed by The Propoganda House, I mean, The White House in an attempt to manipulate Americans into believing that allowing off-shore drilling up and down our coastlines will do wonders for the price of gas...
So...I began to arm myself with a little information in order to argue with these nincompoops over the next few weeks, and as part of that I found this little website: http://home.versatel.nl/the_sims/rig/index.htm
One little factoid, in the most catastrophic (financially) off-shore oil rig disasters, 38% have been cause by equipment failure.
If 38% of car accidents were caused by Automobile failure, would you still drive? Would we want more cars on our roads? Or would we build a better public transit system? Just a thought.
Off-shore drilling site of interest
Scott McClellan -- YES!!!
Well, the Scott McClellan book is about to come out and all the President's men and women are freaking out. How could Scott have done this? Why would he say such things? Well, maybe he had something that many politically minded people in this country seem to have never understood....maybe, he had A MOMENT OF CONSCIENCE.
I have read and listened to some in the administration say, "Well, he should have said something about this when he was working here. If he had reservations about what we were doing he should have spoken up then."
BULLSHIT!!!
If the people of this administration think anyone with half a brain would openly question their agenda while working for them then they have their heads farther up their asses than I thought. It would be the same as working for Burger King and suggesting that meat is murder and that the menu should be switched to Vegan...and expecting to keep their job.
Good job Scott.
