Dumber Than Not Drilling

A return to 55 mph?

As you zip down the highway at 70 mph, remember that your lead foot will cost you at the pump in these days of $4-a-gallon gas.

Some lawmakers in Congress have certainly considered the consequences of your driving habits. And they want you to slow down.

Record-high gas prices have triggered talk that it may be time to lower the speed limit on federal highways to 55 or 60 mph.

"I think that's a great way to save fuel," said U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, D-Waynesville, N.C. "I think it would be the right thing to do."

U.S. Sen. John Warner, R-Va., raised the possibility of reducing the speed limit to 55 or 60 mph early last month. He asked Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman to study whether a lower speed limit would reduce gas prices at the pump and report back on how much fuel it would save.

In the House, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., has filed legislation that would impose a national speed limit of 60 mph on highways in urban centers and 65 mph in less populated areas. A hearing on the bill hasn't yet been set.

The push for a lower speed limit harkens back to 1974, when the country was facing another energy crisis and Congress and President Richard Nixon reduced the limit to 55 mph in response to the Arab oil embargo.

Wear your own damned sweater Carter Shuler. Quit being a nanny and let us drive without you, Warner and any other government overseer sitting in the backseat driver's seat.

Pelosi: Bitter, Bible-Thumping & Looking For Her Gun?

Pelosi Praise: Obama is a 'leader that God has blessed us with at this time'...

Ah, now we find that Nana is a closet GodBot in a town full of Godless empty closets. If only the good sisters of Institute of Notre Dame had not spared the rod.

Another graduate of the "Institute" is the estimable Barbara Milkulski, class of 1954.

Question: Which god is Nana referring to?

Outstanding!

Obama & His Political Salute To Desclos

One Nation, Under a New Obama Salute

I'm thinking they haven't really thought this through.

A hole. A hole into which Obama will lead us?

A zero? The grand sum of Obama's plan?

O? The "Story of O"? An erotic story of dominance and submission? Politically it may work as a fascist suggestion in a reality based community, but who is "O" and who is Obama?

There are other implications that I leave to your imagination. None of them good, but all are unfortunately accurately descriptive.

Too Much Bush Causes Fat In America

Clinton: Economy Prompts Unhealthy Eating...

And guess what, only the government can fix this. Actually, only Hillary can save America and its children, because, after all, it's all for the children.

Question, when Bill was fat, whose fault was it then, the Republican Congress?

Nana Pelosi Spanks Stephanopoulos For Daring To Question

How many times does Nana have to tell us? Us mere handmaidens of the oil companies. She has made it clear over and over that what we want is wrong and it will not happen. The more we ask, the angrier she will get and we don't want that do we? She may with hold dessert, if necessary!

SPEAKER PELOSI: This is a diversionary tactic from a failed energy policy…
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: But if you feel you have the better arguments why not give a straight up or down vote for drilling?
SPEAKER PELOSI: Because the misrepresentation is being made that this going to reduce the price at the pump. This is, again, a decoy, this is not a solution.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Well but if you’re right, why not let it be debated out and have the vote?
SPEAKER PELOSI: We have a debate very single day on this subject. What you saw in the Congress this week was the war dance of the handmaidens of the oil companies. That’s what you saw on the Republican side of the aisle.

Democracy only works when a good mommy, especially a millionaire mommy from San Francisco, is in charge. A mommy who loves us for all of our faults and will always be there to pick us up when we make mistakes and think for ourselves.

How foolish of us to question Nana.

Queen Of Porn's Mother Unhappy With McCain

Kathy Hilton lashes out at McCain ad calling it a 'waste'
Kathy Hilton is the latest member of the Hilton clan to come out swinging against presidential hopeful John McCain.

"I've been asked again and again for my response to the now infamous McCain celebrity ad. I actually have three responses," Hilton, 49, told the Huffington Post.

"It is a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign," she said. "It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs. And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States."

Bursting the bubble of a pompous jerk running to be the Democrat presidential candidate is a waste of time? Showing the country what an arrogant puff Obama is is frivolous?

That the ad points to you and your family's lifestyle says more about you than anybody else. Google your daughter's name and see what is frivolous and a waste. Then open your mouth.

Another Anti-American Obama Mentor Found In The Woodpile

via Gateway Pundit

Media Ignores Obama's Communist Mentor
The Post-Chronicle reported:
In a strange development, supporters of Barack Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, are openly debating the nature and depth of Davis's commitment to the Communist Party and his relationship with the Democratic candidate. The debate has gotten heated.

This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obama's official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship. Davis was identified as a Communist Party member by various investigative committees and acknowledged his party membership in a private letter obtained by John Edgar Tidwell, who was sympathetic to Davis and edited his books.

On one side of this debate is somebody claiming to be the son of Davis. On the other side is Alan Maki, a political activist and union organizer with a long history of involvement in left-wing causes. Indeed, Maki confirms that he has been a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and was a communist decades ago when he was in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

Although he doesn't support Obama because of his ties to Big Business, Maki wrote a blog on the Obama website stating that he was grateful to Obama for bringing Davis to his attention, and that he, Maki, regarded Davis as his mentor, too. Maki announced the establishment of a "Frank Marshall Davis Roundtable for Change" and invited Obama supporters to join it.

Maki did his homework, which is more than most of our own media have done, and he obtained Davis's books. It is absolutely clear, Maki stated, that Davis was a communist.

In his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, Obama cites "Frank" as someone who gave him advice on various matters, including race, American values, and college, and read poems to him during his high-school years in Hawaii. One of Davis's poems was a tribute to the Soviet Red Army. Another mocked the work of Christian missionaries.

Wright, Farakhan, Ayers and on and on. Obama is not telling voters the truth about himself, his beliefs and his life. If he said hello I wouldn't believe him. Not for a second.

AP: George Washington's Multiple Personalities

In accordance with the losers at AP and their arrogant, yet stupid decree of allowing our 1st amendment rights to go up to only 4 of their illustrious words at a time;

whom are white men

There has been one dead white guy on the dollar bill for years. Also known as the father of our country, George Washington, has been that guy. Not guys. Guy. One. As in 50 states, not 57 or 58. One.

Now, if Obama and his PR firm, AP, want to nuance with the best of the Clintons and the Kerrys and say they were talking multiple one dollar bills and on all those dollar bills was a white guy, well, that would be normal for all. Is is isn't it? Otherwise AP and their client, Obama, know something the rest of us do not know.

Oh, BTW, Obama did interject racism into the campaign. He did it on purpose because his handlers thought they could benefit from it. Now that they haven't, the handlers say that race is now important because everyone knows that America is a racist nation. Except America.

An Obama Supporter Worries

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont , Texas , who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth .

One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas .

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview . She is a part time 'working girl'...

All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for President?

Signed,
Worried About My Reputation

Thanks to Webutante

Pelosi The Censor Stifles Dissent In US House

After Nana Pelosi, the housewife from Baltimore, and her cronies got on their enviro-friendly jets and charters to gas off to where ever, the lights, sound and cameras in the House of Representatives were purposely turned off as 20+ members attempted to continue debate on our energy crisis, the liberal dependence on foreign oil.

Nana, the mayor's daughter from Baltimore, censored any dissent from her imperial decree that there shall be no discussion or debate that might reach the ears of the voters. Many voters heard her and Punch Happy Harry Reid claim that President Bush could lift an Executive Order banning of shore drilling, which President Bush lifted, and all would be well. Now, she doesn't want the voter to know that she, Nana Pelosi, queen of the tuna deals, refuses to listen to them, so now we can't listen to anybody from the House.

Now we can see that Liberalism is Fascism.

John McCain's Days of Thunder

Is McCain peaking too early?
Is it possible for McCain to peak? It may be that McCain is Cole Trickle, bred for racing and winning, but finding ways to lose because he doesn't understand the vocabulary of the race.

Or maybe the Obama is peaking with shallowness and lies, ergo he is losing ground. Even with his pit crew, the media.

Down the stretch McCain will keep on keeping on, allowing the Obama to wow the press, while always gaining ground until the pass into first.

Harry: You're going to burn the tires. -
Cole: Everybody else slowed down.
Buck: He's right. Check his lap times. Everybody else has fallen off.

Even with the press lying about Obama's lies, how will Obama win if the public, already in July, is beginning to believe Obama to be less than truthful?

McCain's boringness may well be what puts him over the finish line in first as he honestly and calmly lays out his positions to a yawning press, but a voting public that defied the printed wisdom and voted for Bush when they sensed that Gore and then Kerry were iffy putzes.

Cole: You didn't know how this was going to turn out.
Harry: It's like you said: There's nothing you can't do in a race car.
Cole: We won.
Harry: Yeah.
Cole: Can you walk, or am I going to have to carry you?
Harry: Where to?
Cole: Victory Lane.
Harry: Oh yeah.
Harry: Walk? Hell... I'll race your ass!

Oh, the Obama is a perfect Russ Wheeler as an arrogant puff who looks good, but just doesn't have what it takes.

Exxon's "Obscene" Profits Dwarfed By Obscene Taxes

Good catch by BizzyBlog

Once again the media obscures facts to get their obscene comments into play. Unfortunately, their reporting isn't helping their profit margin because readers consider their reporting obscene.

Media Near-Secret: Exxon’s Taxes Almost 3x As Much As Profits
Looking at it from another perspective, Exxon Mobil’s profit of about 8.4% of sales, while the taxes paid represented over 23% of sales. (August 1 AM Note: This was originally said to be 32%, but has been corrected. The transposition zombies have been appropriately tracked down and punished.)

It’s remarkable that CNN even reported the taxes paid, as they were the clear exception:
This UK Guardian article about the Democrats’ objections to Exxon’s profits didn’t.

Kristen Hays at the Houston Chronicle didn’t.
Bloomberg didn’t.
The Associated Press ….. you’re kidding, right?

The word “tax” does not appear in the Guardian, Chronicle, or AP articles. Bloomberg only used the word in connection with the after-tax effect of the company’s Exxon Valdez settlement.

So who are the greedy ones — Exxon shareholders who want a return on their investment, or the myriad government entities who insist that their grubby fingers be in the pie?
Oh, and would it be impolite to point out that Uncle Sam alone is currently spending $2.9 trillion a year, or $91,958 per second?

Cross-posted at NewsBusters.org.

At a time that America needs energy independence it is dependably sad that the media is in the bag for liberals who want to scuttle what they see as non-aligned profit centers. Maybe if Exxon started shipping in 'green' barrels so Nana Pelosi's family and friends could make a profit...

Another Woman Than Hillary One More Time

Clinton Supporter Angered By 'Other Women' Obama VP Talk
A longtime friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton said it's "incomprehensible" that Sen. Barack Obama would choose another woman to be his vice-presidential candidate over Sen. Hillary Clinton.

I'm bettin' heavy if the Obama taps a woman it won't be Hillary nor will it involve a blue dress.

Obama: Look At Me, I Am Black!

But how dare that racist McCain point out that I'm black even though he didn't! BTW, did you know that I'm really John F'ing "Did I tell you I was also black in Vietnam" Kerry Obama?

Stumping in an economically challenged battleground state, Obama argued Wednesday that President Bush and McCain will resort to scare tactics to maintain their hold on the White House because they have little else to offer voters.

"Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said. "You know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name, you know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

If constantly talking about a person's color is racist, Barack Hussein Obama is a racist. Of course, he has to talk about his funny name and his skin color because he can't speak to issues and retain votes, let alone gain votes.

Obama also compared himself to western legend Wild Bill Hickok, who he said had fought a duel in Springfield.

"I'm ready to duel John McCain on taxes right here, quick draw," Obama said, prompting a quick retort from the other side.

"If Barack Obama wants this so-called duel then why did he and his entourage run for the hills when John McCain challenged him to 10 town halls?" McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said.
Obama responded after shaking hands at a restaurant in Lebanon, Mo.

"I don't hear very much positive from Sen. McCain," he said. "He seems to be only talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he's for, not just what he's against."

Since nobody on the Obama 'Yes, We Can' campaign can read, here is a short list someone can read to you of what McCain is for:

A strong military
Winning the War on Terror
Winning in Afghanistan as we are winning in Iraq
Lower taxes
A Supreme Court that believes in the Constitution as it is written

What are you for, you racist with a funny name and big ears? Besides being black, that is?
