Is that Gail Norton Drilling In Your Back Yard?

Spotted Gail Norton walking down the block.
She has a particular indiosyncracy of stopping every few blocks and looking down.
What is she doing, we wondered.No, it isn't an aberration; it's part of her newly defined job. Gail Norton is now under mandate to drill in every conceivable spot where there may be a few litres of anything resembling fuel. It seems that nobody bothered to mention to her that as an Interior Secretary, her responsibility is to the land. But from the jobs she held prior to being made Interior Secretary, she never cared much for the land--exploiting it every chance she got.
If Gail Norton has her way, in her amazing ineptitude like all of her peers in the Bush White House, you will see oil wells everywhere. Last year alone, more than 200 oil contracts were signed that allow the government to drill precisely where it wants; irregardless of whether the wells and the drilling disturb important species or the people who own nearby. We expect the government to whiz by those numbers in the coming years. The moritoriums are off on development of possible oil reserves off shore. So, don't expect to go bathing without seeing them all over your beach despoiling not only your views but just about everything else!...

And this undisciplined development is already going on in some states that happened to vote red.

Many of the ranchers who previously voted for Bush are literally incensed by this violation of the land and they are saying so out loud.

However, this administration is using the flood as an opportunity to push their wildcatting agenda. It seems to be all that these oil zealots know. God forbid the thought of developing options entered their growth-deprived minds.

Meanwhile, even the NYTimes, the paper of record that has made a habit of sitting on the sidelines, which is worse than not knowing the truth, is finally owning up to the fact that there is something to global warming and doing nothing is no solution at all. The disembodied gurus of the Times even point the finger topside, which is an indication of which way the wind is blowing politically. With the Times coming out of the closet, it's clear that we are nearing the final chapter of this aborted administration that can't think it's way out of a paper bag.

The Times mentioned that if the condition persists and water levels rise as the scheme dictates when there is continuing melting of the Greenland ice flow, the entire plan to rebuild New Orleans and Texas or even fixing the problems of Florida may be moot since they would all be either under water or newly formed islands...

What would Jebb say? "Thanks for the help, bro?"

And that's only the half of it, if global warming is allowed to persist, you can pretty well look forward to another ice age.
And remember what happened to species at that time.

I don't think I am giving away a big secret to suggest that liberals better start stocking up on blankets and down jackets and woolen hats at least enough for 10,000 years.

And while you're at it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have something to read.

But it may not be all downhill. After a few decades of below 40 below temperatures, Hell may start to look pretty good!
