Can We Please Start Drilling?

It’s long past time to drill for oil here at home. We also need a couple of new oil refineries. The immediate benefit would be thousands of needed jobs for Americans. After a few years we would start getting some relief from gas pump torture.

We also need to co-exist with nature so let’s do it carefully. Oil escapes into the ocean and groundwater as a natural occurrence. It’s part of nature.

It would be so nice to see an end to those goofy picket signs that demand, “No Blood For Oil” carried by those same clowns that show up to protest every issue.

I’m also tired of seeing the photos of the great grandchildren of poor Arab farmers and sheepherders who now wallow in obscene wealth because of extortionate oil prices.

Americans need a break from the obstructionists on the Democratic side of the Congressional aisle. They need to give us solutions instead of additional hardship.

Time and time again the auto companies and others have gotten their pet congress weasels to oppose any increase in the CAFE standards. When California tried to go it alone the Feds interfered and blocked them. Americans have chosen to buy huge gas guzzling trucks to drive their children around. How is this the fault of the Arabs? As for the ANWR, from what I have heard it would take 20 years to come online and might drop the price by as little as 41 cents a barrel. The oil sands seem a more attractive project.

Now if there was a trillion bbl under ANWR I think we'd all look at it seriously, but from what I have heard the only people who will win as a result of drilling there are the drill makers. Even the oil companies aren't that interested. So it's a false hope.

Increasing the fuel efficiency of the US private automobile seems to be a far faster way to get to some measure of independence and would have a cascade of benefits, including giving the bird to the Arabs.
We need to find and use our own oil now. If it takes 30 years we still need to drill now.
The only cure is if we can figure out how to defeat the earth’s gravity. That ain’t going to happen.


Drill-Drill-Drill!

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
