Big ol’ tea party bump.

Getting harder to sell “Drill here...” with oil plunging. Now at $106, a full $41 drop in 3 months.

[Issaquahking]

Bump from Palin country!

[thackney]

$100 oil is hardly cheap.

Rush has coined the term Drive-By Media.

I think we need to add “Bypass media” to our lexicon,

or use “media bybass” every time they ignore important information.

For example, yesterday was the handover of Anbar Province to Iraqi military control, and the media BYPASSED it entirely!

Last night the governors of the Gulf states spoke by satellite to the Republican Convention. Fox news showed it, CNN cut away and so CNN viewers, including people affected by Gustav, did not see what their governors said.

Let’s see...where is the Empress taking her august presence now while us lowly serfs go back to work so we can pay for her next adventure.

Oh, of course.

“US House speaker to make landmark Hiroshima visit

Guess she’s going to go polish up her (self) image as a great humanitarian by claiming that we should have killed off a million or so Americans and Japanese in an invasion of mainland Japan.

Should have a BARF alert on everything the Empress touches or says. She’s just screwed up as a football bat.

Good morning!! What a weekend!! Hope the McCain camp can find a way to get back to the energy issues where Sarah Palin shines and the American people agree!

Thanks for keeping up the great work. President Bush talking energy now in regards to Hurricane Gustav.

Hello everyone ... been distracted by the weather threads and anyone from Florida will have their eyes glued on Hannah as she comes close to the East Coast. But one side benefit of this is that when you access the NOAA Buoy data, they have a gif of the buoy or the OIL PLATFORM where the reading comes from! And these are public domain images since it is a gubermint site!

For example:

select 42346 and you see as part of the image display.

So, if you want to peruse the Gulf of Mexico and scope out what is already there, here's the link: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/WestGulf.shtml

When we start drilling, it will drop like a bad habit.
I want pre-2000 gasoline prices.

$1.50 a gallon, here we come.

[MNJohnnie]

Not at all. Merely remind people that while gas is down NOW it can go right back up. The only way to prevent that is to drill here, drill now.

[PhiloBedo]

Thank for keeping this going. I don’twatch TV so I have no idea if there is any mention of the Drill Here, Drill Now proceedings in the House.

My guess is there is a complete news blackout on the Republican Representatives working through their vacation. It’s just despicable!
