Remember back just a few years ago when a seagull would fart somewhere out in the Atlantic Ocean and gas prices would rise? Now we have the world’s biggest oil spill ever and gas prices are staying level. Well fear not. The Fat Cats are just waiting for the November elections. If things go their way, the farting seagull will once again waft its magic our way.
The drill baby drill sycophants will dust off their placards and Fat Cats everywhere will rejoice. This time though, they will push for more drilling for oil and gas on land.
I just saw on HBO, a great documentary on gas and oil drilling. During the Bush dark ages, legislation to allow unchecked hydraulic fracture drilling went through with Republican grand standing. Now people in some states can save on energy bills because their well water is highly flammable. The Fat Cats won't fix the problem until they are taken to court. They say there isn't a problem. They make each individual landowner prove their lives were destroyed. Fat Cats have no loyalty or conscience. They worship at the altar of greed. Dollars are their only sacrament.
Once November comes and goes get ready for a derrick near you. Oh yea, the cute thing is they fly an American flag off the top of the derricks. Welcome to the new Patriotism!
