Rising Oil Prices? No Problem

Frankly, I don't believe much of what Barack Obama says. But, when he said "energy prices would necessarily skyrocket" under his plan, he meant it damn it! For those of you who voted for him and would proudly do it again; how much are you willing to pay for a gallon of gas? Five dollars, ten, how about fifty? The president is supposed to have a press conference today in which he'll address rising oil prices. That's great, okay everyone; air up your bicycle tires...but I'm sure as hell not wearing one of those stupid looking pointed helmets. Some members of congress have been talking about tapping the strategic oil reserves. Here's a thought; how about tapping some of the reserves under the ocean floor and in Alaska that we haven't even bothered to point a drill bit at. If the environmentalist idiots don't like it, maybe we can just burn some of them for fuel. How much criminal stupidity do we have to put up with before we say enough? There is a lot of oil under the ocean floor. Somebody needs to get their ass out there and dig it up, and the government needs to get the hell out of the way. If a few fish die; that just sucks for them, there are plenty more where they came from. After all, we just had the biggest spill in history and I haven't noticed any shortage of seafood; it's just getting more expensive because fuel is so damn high. Maybe a few sea turtles died. Well "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care". What about Alaska? For forty years federal regulations have prevented oil exploration in much of this area while we've become almost completely dependent on the middle east. I don't know if you've noticed, but that's not exactly the most stable region of the world. The fact that we're not drilling in Alaska, alone, makes us the dumbest nation on earth. Do it now!, and, if a polar bear or caribou dies, just ship their dead ass to me and I'll throw it on the pit. Hell, in a couple more months, none of us will be able to afford meat and we're about to enter the grilling season. Yeah, food is getting more expensive everyday and it doesn't help that we have a federal mandate to burn corn. What are we gonna burn next? Beef? Bread? And shut the (bleep) up about carbon emissions and global warming. It's all a load of crap, and even if it were true; I'd rather die in a giant hurricane than starve to death because we couldn't afford food or because we burned it all! If the seas do rise like that jackass Al Gore said they would, maybe we could just get Brown & Root to slope the ocean floors toward Iran and North Korea. That's what we need here; a little more thinking out of the box. To future generations of Americans, I offer my sincere apology for the blatant stupidity of your ancestors and for the fact that I couldn't do more to stop it.
