McCain to Drill America

Mr. McCain’s proposal, details of which were disclosed on Tuesday, plays to a portion of the electorate that believes “alternative fuel source” means siphoning gas from their neighbors’ cars and trucks.

“My friends, our nation’s energy independence is one of my highest priorities,” the presumptive GOP 2008 presidential nominee told supporters in Houston, Texas. “If there are barrels of oil buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico, well then, we must go out there and dig them up.”

    Michael GS, I suspect that we all read your articles–I certainly do. They’re always brilliant. There’s just not much that can be said by way of commentary that wouldn’t sound lame. Please keep cross-posting here.

    Cindy, you’d be making me blush if I had morals and a sense of decency.

    I’ll give you exactly one week to stop talking like that.

    Thank you.

    Michael GS
