Keep This One Handy

The next time you bump into one of those “granola munching, Birkenstock wearing, patchouli smelling, tree hugging, Gaia loving, long haired, dope smoking” assclowns who are opposed to drilling for oil, read and explain to them this piece by Energy Secretary Gale Norton (because they are incapable of critical thought and won’t understand it if they read it on their own.)

See if they can grasp the concept of size and impact when you tell them:

If approved by Congress, the overall “footprint” of the equipment and facilities needed to develop the 1002 area would be restricted to 2,000 acres, an area about the size of a regional airport in a refuge the size of South Carolina.

Well………Can We Or Can’t We?

Just like you have scientists who say there is global warming and those who say contrary-wise, so have we “experts” on oil pumping from OPEC.

We all know gas prices are high and getting higher (although not as high as they were in the late 70s/early 80s when adjusted for inflation and wages.)

For most of us the solution is simple:  PUMP MORE!!!

But an OPEC official says we are at max pumping capacity.

On the other hand, there are those who say OPEC can pump 2 MBPD more.

Hell, at $55 a barrel, I’d pump until the pumps burned out.  And that’s what those ragheads are doing---and getting filthy rich at it.

Everyone seems to think the prices are high due to speculation involving terrorist attacks on the supplies.  But think about how fucked up that logic is:  the oil is controlled, in most part, by raghead countries.  Raghead countries have been the prime sponsors of terrorism.  Raghead countries have done little to stem the threat of terrorist activity.  Is there a link between the last two sentences and the current price?  Reminds me of when those assholes tried to corner the silver market back.....when....the 70s?  There is no way any raghead, ass-in-the-air 5 times a day country will EVER do anything to stem terrorist activity because doing so will kill the goose that is laying their golden egg.

Meanwhile, back in the US, the enviro-wacko, granola munching, tree hugging, Birkenstock wearing, patchouli smelling, dope smoking, tofu eating crowd says we can’t drill.  Nor can we build new refineries.

You have to wonder, “given that we are at max refining capacity, what would happen if one of our refineries went down?  Or got attacked?”

I believe it is time to declare open season on environmentalists.

President Bush has finally come out and stated ANWR must be explored.

About fucking time!  Now let’s hope Congress has the balls to act.

Environmental News

Uh-oh!  Here we go again.  Scientists are now saying that Arctic ice melt is nothing more than a natural cyclical trend.

I know we will believe what we want to believe but Mother Earth isn’t likely to be affected much by a bunch of mere mortals.  She’ll do what she’ll do.  Who knows?  Maybe when things warm up is when she’s on her “natural” menstrual cycle and gets a bit “hot under the mantle” at us.

But seriously, though:

After researching the log-books of Arctic explorers spanning the past 300 years, scientists believe that the outer edge of sea ice may expand and contract over regular periods of 60 to 80 years. This change corresponds roughly with known cyclical changes in atmospheric temperature.

Well, DUH!!!!

This Is Too Much!!

Found this on Best of the Web.

Incredible!

Some asshats in Oregon run one of those Birkenstock wearing, granola munching, tree hugging hotels and they state they welcome diversity, But......................they will not permit:

SMOKERS
PETS
FOLKS TRAVELING IN A HUMMER
FOLKS WHO VOTED FOR BUSH & HIS NATURE DESTRUCTIVE POLICIES

Hey, look, it’s their business to deny admittance to whomever they want.  I object to their hypocritical claim that they welcome diversity.  They are liars.

Check them out!

Send them

Dire Predictions

I just had an interesting thought. Suppose the Mad Mullahs in Iran have a much more devious plan than building nukes with their newly acquired nuclear technology? What if their intention is get rich first, bring America to its knees economically and then develop nuclear weapons later?

Currently, oil production in Iran is at about 3.8 million barrels per day. However, Iran also uses about 1.2 million barrels per day internally to generate electricity and supply oil-related products to its own people. Hmmmmmm ....

With world oil prices reaching record highs ($53 per barrel), it would make sense to sell more oil overseas than to use it at home, right? How to do that? Answer, build 20 nuclear power plants to supply the country’s electrical needs and sell all of that $53 (and maybe higher) per barrel oil to the stupid Americans who are not building any more nuclear power plants and shutting down the ones they have while refusing to open up oil drilling in Alaska.

I smell a devious Mad Mullah plan at work here .... and the US is falling into their trap. In just a few years, they could be selling nearly 100% of their oil at highly inflated prices to the US, which will be held hostage by its dependence on foreign oil and lack of nuclear power plants to make up the difference. Currently, nuclear power plants in the US account for only 20% of electricity generated and that is dropping rapidly with plant closings. Add to that the removal of old, outdated hydroelectric dams and the refusal of environmentalists to accept drilling for oil in Alaska and their further refusal to allow more nuclear power plants to be built and what do you get????

Within twenty years the lights may go out all across America. Whale oil lamps will no longer be an option thanks to GreenPeace. Darkness falls ....

Tell me what you think .... possible or not?

Will The Enviro-Weenies Target Indigenous People??

Or will they go after third worlders like Africans and South Asians, too?

They should!  After all they are causing climate change by cooking outdoors over open fires.

Of course they won’t though.  They’ll feel pity on them.  Either that or demand the United States furnish them with modern cooking stoves and the fuel to run them.

After which they will re-focus their attention on why housing subdivisions are being built on lands that have colonies of 2 celled amoebas threatened with extinction.  For which they will sue for billions of dollars and win.

Will Enviro-Weenies Sue The Sun?

rankly, they should.

That unruly bastard, the Sun, in a seeming disregard for the health and well-being of humans on this planet did willfully and with malice aforethought, unleash huge storms in our direction causing a loss of ozone over the Arctic.

Last I heard the lawyers representing the Sun say that it welcomes all environmental lawyers from Earth to a conference held Sun-side and that the Sun has offered to pay their travel and accommodations.

I am contacting NASA to see if we can arrange multiple shuttle launches to effect this.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed

ith any sort of luck we just might get legislation permitting the beginning of development for oil in ANWR.

About damned time, I say!

More About Eminent Domain

It’s happening right here in Florida, about 3 hours south.

A guy goes into the boondocks, buys 160 acres, fights off predators and insects; builds his own house, digs his own well, lives there for over 30 years.

Now the state wants it for an everglades restoration project claiming it used to be underwater and it needs to be reverted back.  I agree with the state...................if that were the case.  But the guy says he has huge timber on the land that predates any canal work to block the water and those trees would not have grown is their roots were water bound.

So the state needs to fuck off!!!!

The place was appraised at over $850,000. The state offered about $700,000 in 2002.  Then $1.2 million.  Then $4.5 million.  he won’t sell.

This is what he thinks of the enviro-weenies:

What I’m talking about is sense. We’re up to our armpits in alligators because people are just crazy. They’re fanatics.

“In the paper today, there’s a story about damn red-cockaded woodpeckers and they’re saving them and going through all kind of hell. People are not running around shooting red-cockaded woodpeckers. I haven’t shot one in 20 or 30 years.

“God, spare me from the damn environmentalists, ‘cause they are the cause of me being in the jam I’m in.”

Meanwhile, the enviro-weenies, living in their little bubble of fixed definitions, say he can’t love the land because he’s mining it.

What?  That’s supposed to have some relevance to anything?  Are they attempting to re-define “love?” And what’s wrong with taking the lime-rock out?  Someone’s gotta do it.  And he gets $18 a truck for it with a couple of hundred trucks a day going through his property!!!!  Do the math.  I’d LOVE it, too!

Read about it here.

We’re All Gonna Die, Part MCLVII

Flash: Important Bulletin From The Chicken Little Institute

The CLI today issued its 1,157th environmental disaster announcement. It turns out that scientists at CLI have found rocket fuel in boobies.

Now, far be it from me to question the experts at CLI but I do have a few things I would like to have cleared up ....

1- How did you goobers go about testing the alleged rocket-powered boobies?

2- Where do I apply for this job as tester?

3- What does rocket fuel taste like when mixed with milk?

4- Is there more rocket fuel in big boobies than there are in itty-bitty-titties?

5- Does this mean Dolly Parton may blast off for Mars any day now?

6- Can I volunteer to test her “blastoff capabilities”?

I thank the CLI in advance for clearing these issues up for me.

Greenpeace Gets A Ass-Whuppin’

Thirty-five Greenpeace protesters stormed the floor of the International Petroleum Exchange in London yesterday to protest the Kyoto Accord, believing it does not go far enough. What they got was what they deserved ....

What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.

“We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs,” one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”

Another said: “I took on a Texan Swat team at Esso last year and they were angels compared with this lot.” Behind him, on the balcony of the pub opposite the IPE, a bleary-eyed trader, pint in hand, yelled: “Sod off, Swampy.”

They made their way to the trading floor, blowing whistles and sounding fog horns, encountering little resistance from security guards. Rape alarms were tied to helium balloons to float to the ceiling and create noise out of reach. The IPE conducts “open outcry” trading where deals are shouted across the pit. By making so much noise, the protesters hoped to paralyse trading.

But they were set upon by traders, most of whom were under the age of 25. “They were kicking and punching men and women indiscriminately,” a photographer said. “It was really ugly, but Greenpeace did not fight back.”

Mr Beresford said: “They followed the guys into the lobby and kept kicking and punching them there. They literally kicked them on to the pavement.”

Last night Greenpeace said two protesters were in hospital, one with a suspected broken jaw, the other with concussion.

3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
