The amount of damage (basically none) to the environment of oil drilling has been greatly exaggerated. Oil Platforms are far out and usually not visible from shore. I have no problems drilling for oil anywhere on the continental shelf. Heck I'd like to see drilling off the Big Sur coast for no other reason than to irritate the jerks that live there.

I guess Ms. Sharp ain’t so sharp. And this idiot is running a marketing firm?

I never understood why those gigantic bird Cuisinarts are so cute and those hardly visible oil well pump heads are so ugly![Image Hosted by ImageShack.us](http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8357/turbinedf7.jpg)
Cute windmill turns into hunka hunka backyard burnin turbine. And the ANWR idiots are worried about spoiling the pristine tundra.

"... nobody is going to come here if there is drilling," said Ms. Sharp, 39 years old, who runs a marketing firm with her husband. OK, Ms. Not-so-sharp, answer this quiz.... How is anybody going to get 'there' if they can't afford to fuel their car?

“Make them look like Disney Castles and everyone wins.”
On I-4 between near Mickey world, there’s a very large pair of mouse ears just off the highway. Why not put those on these drilling platforms - Didney would probably pay for those.

I live in Sarasota, FL. I assure you that the Dims around here have microscopic brains, perhaps the size of a grain of sand. If you visit down here and read the Letters section of the paper, you’ll get a quiver up your leg.

Nobody is going to come here if they can’t afford the gas, Ms. Sharp.

These are supposed to 'environmentally friendly'. I think the birds would beg to differ.

How about if we decorate all offshore rigs to look like giant middle fingers. Pointing at all who oppose being free of foreign oil. I suppose all those crybaby enviros think it is safer to ship oil halfway around the globe than bringing it in from fifty miles offshore.

And nobody will be coming to anywhere in Florida if we don’t find a solution to our energy problems.

With Oil's Rise, Floridians Shift on Drilling...Fox News tonight mentioned a recent poll which showed a similar shift in California - by about a 2 to 1 margin residents there now say they want regulations loosened to allow more drilling off their coastline - funny how firmly held "green" values vanish in the air so to speak when the financial strain they impose start to impose on those holding them..........

Caught only the tail end of a story today on another poll by maybe Rasmussen showing that even those in New Jersey are now more favorably disposed to offshore drilling - a real seismic shift.......
