Open Season on Pandas

Maybe at the back of the yard, over by the blackberry bushes...

Yesterday I debated the whole notion that a ‘gas shortage’ exists. Today comes news that the president has temporarily suspended environmental rules for gasoline. His whole administration has been leading up to the shining moment when the gas industry can do what they please while shooting spotted owls (and good friends) on the weekends to unwind.

I really think my favorite was when Bush said, “Our addiction to oil is a matter of national security concerns. After all, today we get about 60 percent of our oil from foreign countries.” Oh, yes, national security. All those oil-producing nations attacking US….As for those foreign countries supplying that whopping 60 percent? Gosh, I seem to recall we are occupying one. Why aren’t we pumping that oil over here for free? It’s needed to rebuild Iraq? Hmm. Why does it need rebuilding again? Oh, yeah, we attacked it…

The Democrats don’t have a clue, but they certainly are benefiting from the situation. And by the way, until a magnificently styled 450 H.P. high-performance hybrid is built, I’m not buying one. We all know one could have been made years ago, but the same guys running the nation now suppressed it.
