Brinkee was drinking the Kool-Aid this weekend. I had to turn him off on Saturday when he started to claim to a caller that drilling in ANWR would not make much of a difference in bringing new energy to the US - using the same sort of logic (I believe) that the Dems use, by claiming that all the oil, etc would be exhausted in a year - IF (and they do not tell you this) ANWER was the ONLY place where the US was getting its' energy.

On Sunday, I had my fill when he started to go on and on about how Gore won the 2000 election, except for the electoral college. He was going shrill, so enough was enough.

My best plan has been to catch his opening comments in hour 1 and 3, and then turn him off. He's going 'nutter on us.

Ironically, his comment that "drilling in ANWR wouldn't make any difference" would have been right, but for the wrong reasons.

Drilling in ANWR really doesn't do much for U.S. oil supplies because the cost of extraction and transportation of this oil is very high. In fact, I read somewhere last year that ANWR wouldn't be tapped for a single drop of oil unless the long-term forecast for the price of oil was in the range of $35 per barrel.
