Maybe Norm is revisiting his Hofstra incarnation.
In any case, he's a write-off with me. What a Chickensh*t !
On the Norm thing you are witnessing the effect of a liberal state on its politicians. I bet you at least half the senators who would vote against ANWR know they are doing the wrong thing, that we need the oil. But they don't dare be "anti-environment" in their states.
The crazy thing is Alaska WANTS the drilling and people in other states ought to be glad the impact is elsewhere. Instead, the Northeast is going to make damn sure it doesn't get any oil from ANWR. No sir, we only want oil that pollutes Venezuela, the Middle East, Pennsylvania. It's all crazy.
