It was from the December Sale.

EOG was not one of the buyers of leases.

Obama and the Dems are determined to ruin our economy.

Yeah, well tomorrow it’s your turn. I think we’re both stuck on the passive aggressive merry go round right now.

Thanks, I hope my post didn't come off as snarky, it wasn't meant to be, at least toward you :)

Nope! I didn't think that at all.

Honestly, I’m not sure what the gig is. In California they are all registered.

I should have included this:

Administration scraps sale of drilling leases in Utah
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/6246512.html

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says he’s scrapping the lease of dozens of parcels of federal land for oil and gas drilling in Utah’s redrock country.

Salazar says the Bush administration rushed an auction in December of some of the country’s most precious landscapes around national parks and the wild Green River.

I don’t know the answer to that one, but we need to do some serious organizing. We cannot wait until we come to the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It needs to be done before things get worse.

Did you report it, when it was stolen?

I would be careful about filing a fraudulent theft report. It could certainly come back to haunt you.

Up next - a cap on the price of oil.

I'll bet that's exactly what he tries.

This was the big October surprise. This was all planned. The commies are diabolical. Bambi is just the vehicle to get it done. The founding fathers said, America would die from within.

Actually, H.R. 45 would require all firearms be registered regardless of type, when manufactured, or how obtained by the current owner (and no grand-father clause). There are other requirements in that bill that are simply frightening. Plus, there’s another bill (can’t recall the designation) which will require all ammunition be manufactured with an electronic tag (for each round) after (if I recall correctly) June 2009 - all ammunition that does not have the electronic tag will be required to be destroyed after 2011. Even if they don’t grab your guns, it won’t matter - there won’t be any ammunition available.

I don’t like what is going on right now, but it’s not going on in our name. It’s going on in Obama’s name. And I would not cooperate with him at all.

If this is going to hit the fan, let it be his party that has ownership, not ours.

Count on McCain defeating this premise every chance he gets, initiating inter-party unity constantly.

Maybe, maybe not.

I typicaly buy leases with a strawma. . . . landman, so you can never tell who is buying.

Indeed, sometimes you buy with 3 or 4 landmen (who hopefully don’t bid against each other), so people don’t know you’re putting a package togehter, or bid the process up because they know you’re on to something.

I’m with you. I hope AZ kicks his sorry butt out of there. He’s up in 2010.

It's so bad that HR 45 is mired in the House Judiciary Committee with no cosponsors.

Folks should be aware of that, and take action now to avoid the ‘Christmas rush’.

I don’t care for this one bit.

Anything that limits anything short of a 50mm weapon*, or a fully automatic weapon*, is just a bold attempt to put an end to the second amendment. These things should be challenged by the NRA from their inception.

I wish the SCOTUS would rule that almost no gun laws are permissible. England has proven that this is not the way to go. It’s citizens have awoken, and they are angry.

*Some folks would argue that these should be available to all the public as well, but I can’t quite get there myself.
