...and you want to put an even bigger hoax into the Whitehouse in the form of one Barack Hussein Obama.
9% approval rating.
“It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”
It wasn’t $4 gasoline until you took the Speakership and your cronies took the majority of the do nothing, wrong direction Congress.
Year 3, zero accomplishments. Bravo, Madame Speaker.
That would be the current policies limiting domestic drilling and building refineries.
If it’s a hoax, why not allow it? The oil companies would just be throwing their money away, right? Or does Ms. Pea-Brain think that they are just looking for an excuse to pollute the planet while generating no more revenue? Holy crap. How did this insufferable idiot ever become Speaker of the House?
Just keep talking, Madame Speaker.
Dumber than I’d thought: She doesn’t even know what “hoax” means. The Piltdown Man was a hoax. She means (and later said) a distraction or decoy. ... which is also wrong, but at least it’s the concept she had in mind.
Why doesn’t anyone ask her specificaslly WHICH Republican policies? I hate these people.
Peloser’s criticizing Left Wing policies here. Democrats have truly become like little children in their incompetence and inability to take responsibility for anything.
If the spineless weenies in the House were serious, they could get enough signatures for a Discharge Petition and then this plastic-faced harridan would have to let the bill to drill come to the floor.
Until then, I wish the oil companies would block shipments of fuel to CA. Let those who vote for this witch walk.
The ideas and plans coming from Nancy Pelosi’s head are a hoax
You, Pelosi, are a hoax, and so is your Congress. In addition to more drilling, we would like the following:
1) Allow oil shale technology to be produced and implemented
2) Build more nuclear plants
3) Tap into the huge reserves of coal and natural gas
4) Resign
Thank you!
This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference.....
Stretchface needs a weekly press conference? For what?....to remind all of her approval rating?.....
Uh...Nancy...Hellooo!!
You've been controlling the show since 2006 and gas has risen from $2.56 when you took control to $4.11 now. It would seem to me that it's YOUR policies that have failed. Now drop the political BS and fix it...NOW, you duplicitous bit$h!
...and you want to put an even bigger hoax into the Whitehouse in the form of one Barack Hussein Obama.
Sweetie, those are YOUR policies now. You run the show. Are your voters that dumb? Don't answer.
The hoax is that Pelosi has a clue.
But, in other news related to drilling somewhere:
Brown-Led Team Finds Evidence Of Water In Lunar Interior
by Staff Writers
Providence RI (SPX) Jul 10, 2008
A Brown University-led research team has for the first time discovered evidence of water that came from deep within the Moon, a revelation that strongly suggests water has been a part of the Moon since its early existence — and perhaps ever since it was created by a cataclysmic collision between the early Earth and a Mars-sized object about 4.5 billion years ago.
In a paper published in the July 10 issue of the journal Nature, the team, led by Alberto Saal, assistant professor of geological sciences at Brown, believes that the water was contained in magmas erupted from fire fountains onto the surface of the Moon more than 3 billion years ago.
About 95 percent of the water vapor from the magma was lost to space during this eruptive “degassing,” the team estimates. But traces of water vapor may have drifted toward the cold poles of the Moon, where they may remain as ice in permanently shadowed craters.
NASA plans to send its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter later this year to search for evidence of water ice at the Moon’s south pole. If water is found, the researchers may have figured out the origin.
The water clue came from lunar volcanic glasses, pebble-like beads collected and returned to Earth by NASA’s Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the decades since, scientists have sought to determine the content and origin of a class of chemical elements known as volatiles in the multicolored glasses.
In particular, they searched the glasses for signs of water. But such evidence had remained elusive, consistent with the general consensus that the Moon is dry.Now, that evidence has been found.
“What is important for me is it’s telling me something about the origin of the Moon and the Earth and the presence of water at very early times,” said Saal, the paper’s lead author.
Three other researchers from the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown — professors Reid Cooper and Malcolm Rutherford, and graduate student Mauro Lo Cascio — contributed to the research. Erik Hauri from the Carnegie Institution for Science developed the analytical technique used to identify water and the other volatiles. James Van Orman from Case Western Reserve University also participated in the work.
Based on their observations that nearly all the water in the lunar magma was lost to space during the eruptions, the researchers calculated that the pre-eruption magma may have contained water up to 750 parts per million — similar to the water content of primitive magmas that erupted on the Earth¿s seafloor at midocean ridges.
“This suggests the very intriguing possibility that the Moon’s interior might have contained just as much water as the Earth’s depleted upper mantle,” Hauri said.
Hauri used secondary mass ion spectrometry, a technique that measures the elemental composition of solid materials, to detect the minute amounts of water in the samples.
“We developed a way to detect as little as five parts per million of water,” Hauri said. “We were really surprised to find a whole lot more in these tiny glass beads, up to 46 parts per million.”
The team then confirmed through a series of tests that hydrogen had been present all along, and the samples had not been infused by hydrogen-rich solar winds or tainted by other volatiles.
“This confirms that water comes from deep within the mantle of the Moon,” Saal said. “It has nothing to do with secondary processes, such as contamination or solar wind.”
The research also may yield additional insight into how long water has been on Earth, Saal added.
“It suggests that water was present within the Earth before the giant collision that formed the Moon,” Saal said.
“That points to two possibilities: Water either was not completely vaporized in that collision or it was added a short time — less than 100 million years — afterward by volatiles introduced from the outside, such as with meteorites.”
The researchers this summer will study volcanic glasses gathered from other Apollo missions for evidence of water.
Have you noticed how all the drilling rigs around the rest of the world all spill & leak and dont produce any oil....
Paging the GOP. If you guys would like to win some seats, here’s an excellent opening.
