THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS MEETS THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Let’s see ... Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senator Barack Obama, Al Gore and others want YOU to get off oil. More for their private jets I guess.
Yep, Nancy’s Democrat House of Cards shuffled off for a five week vacation after the Speaker refused to allow a vote on offshore drilling.
So much for the Democrat pledge to run a truly ethical and bipartisan Congress in 2006.
Of course before boarding their jet-fuel guzzling private jets to fly off to destinations unknown, Nancy ordered the House and C-SPAN lights cut off to help save the planet despite the minority party taking the floor in dark protest demanding the Democrats return and work to solve our energy problems.
Before the do-nothing House adjourned, it did manage to apologize for slavery. I’m so glad that’s all done now, although my ancestors were immigrants who came to Louisiana after getting booted out of Novia Scotia by the English, escaped poverty in Italy and Portugal, and a little Native American thrown in for mixture and we had nothing to do with your sins.
Yep, you’re going to have to do without a lot of stuff should Obama and the Dems get control of the government - all to “save the planet” of course and destroy the evil “Big O” liberals have somehow managed to demonize. What’s the “big oil” thing anyway? Can you imagine trying to fill up your gas tank at any number of stations near you were not an industry in existence that processes 85 million barrels of oil a day?
No fresh food delivered to your neighborhood groceries and restaurants, no ice cream, no newspapers, magazines, books, and comics, no bottled water, no hair coloring, no peanut butter cups, and on and on. They have to deliver these things in case you aren't aware. They don't magically appear.
No American Dream! Hot houses in summer and cold homes in winter. Travel permitted only along approved routes. Democrats and bureaucrats deciding what you can and cannot do … all to save the planet.
Barack Obama says we should build more light rail systems, windmills (just not near the Kennedy compound), solar, etc. That's fine. Private enterprise is developing those things daily, and they may become economically feasible down the road. But a MASSIVE transfer now off of fossil fuels and the building of a monstrous new infrastructure to support who knows what?
Uhhh ... how are they going to do that without ENERGY? Any unemployed Obama supporters out there who want to donate their time and manual labor laying rails across the country for free? It's for the planet.
As for those record (shrinking dollar) profits, $11.6 billion for Exxon for example, did you know that that figure represents a modest profit of 8.3% of total revenues and that the GOVERNMENT collected $32 BILLION in taxes from those same revenues? And they want MORE, and they want the oil companies to buy MORE oil from overseas, sending your money outside the country and preventing more people from working here in the good old USA!
Shouldn’t the fact that Barack Obama can’t do any better than a statistical tie against a weak candidate like John McCain be absolutely frightening to the DNC, the liberal media, and leftists all across the globe? It should and it is. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t do it once upon a time ... and reality is better than fiction.
You can tell in the outrage of people like Tom Brokaw at the creation of ads poking fun at their “Chosen One”. They must be really worried that their man is slipping! We know that they have no senses of humor, but really, they need to loosen up. Finally, political campaign strategists and writers are doing what all great satirists have done to expose the weaknesses of their opponents or just to make fun of people who deserve it - by ridiculing them. If the comedians can’t bring themselves to poke fun, we must do their job for them.

A media who daily mocks the likes of Britney and Paris is suddenly offended because they are parodied in a political ad. Too whiney! Ironically, fellow global citizen Gwyneth Paltrow just endorsed "The One". That's just too perfect timing, don't you think?
Maybe they should check the air pressure in their heads? Or turn up their thermostats?
It’s so fitting that the Dems are now scrambling to find a single clear and lucid thought or plan, now that the change mantra is wearing thin and people are actually starting to pay attention and are not happy at what they see.
P.S. After predictions of an ice-free North Pole, Arctic Sea ice levels remain considerably above the levels of last year. Where are you unbiased media?

Staring at my picture book
She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots
She seemed very regal to me
Just goes to show how wrong you can be
I'm gonna stop wastin' my time
Somebody else would have broken both of her arms
Sad song, Sad song, Sad song, Sad song
