It's a distinct possibility that our generation might pass without it managing to extract all of the planet's oil for our own use. I shudder to think what our grandkids would do with fossil fuels that they have not earned or deserve. Those are our fossil fuels, and the future generations of moochers and couch warmers need to know that they will be getting none of it.

How much oil should we leave in the ground for our grandkids?

A lot. Let's move to using some other energy source now.

9 votes

Some. But we should get to use most of it in this generation and future generations can have the rest to divide among themselves.

None. It's all for us, and we're going to drill baby drill.

When Mitt Romney's adviser Ed Gillespie claimed that Romney had gone into retirement "retroactively," did he know he was ripping a hole in the space-employment continuum? Just imagine the new vistas of reality opened up by the discovery that retirement can be retroactive! Screw Peter Higgs and his goddamn boson, let's give a Nobel Prize in Physics to Ed Gillespie!

When God didn't deliver rain to Texas, Governor Rick Perry ostentatiously organized a prayer event to bring the rains. For some mysterious reason, God did not smile on this effort, and as of September 5th, 2011, large parts of Texas were actually on fire. It bears mentioning, of course, that in addition to seeking His help, Rick Perry has also played God, allowing Cameron Todd Willingham to be executed despite his almost-certain innocence.

Work with me here. We're still a long way off from having a Republican nominee, let alone a victor in the 2012 election. Barack Obama isn't doing well in the polls now, and while it seems unlikely there is any engine that can pull the American economy out of the ditch, there are too many uncertainties to count him out.

Listen, oh sinners of DailyKos, you cryptoIslamofascists, socialists, communists, black panthers, and terrorists, do not start chuckling yet about a prophesy you now view as failed! For you are not of faith, and you will be damned! Mark my words, in an hour's time, the earthquakes will come and split the world wide open! Surely God is merely holding out to do his work when 6pm arrives in Eastern North America, the most exceptional place in the most exceptional land in the world!

Here's an idea: I'd like to modestly propose a constitutional amendment that makes an exception to the first amendment for cases where followers of religion want to erect a house of worship in a location within 20 miles of a place where a follower of that religion has ever committed a serious crime.

While a lot of people have gotten worked up about what Sarah Palin has termed "Death Panels," that is, small groups of bureaucrats with clipboards who stand between you and your doctor to make sure it won't cost too much to heal you, few have yet raised a ruckus at the townhalls concerning another provision in the bill currently wending its way through congress.

I'll be the first to admit that Sarah Palin's interpretation of the "Death Panel" provision was sort of a stretch, the wording of the brain implant provision would be hard to misconstrue.

See for yourself:

What if there was a way to conclusively tell the future that here in our time we knew that certain people were short-sighted opportunists, and that we didn't want their short-sightness forgotten? What if we could tell politicians today that their inaction on Global Warming was going to be noted permanently and this information would be transmitted in an indelible form to the future?

In an article in the New York Times we learn that the FBI has improperly been keeping 24,000 people on the terrorist watch list. Not only does the FBI want to reduce this number (increasing the number of people allowed to fly) but it wants to take people who WEREN'T on the list and put them on it, including some of America's troops!

At some point today I stumbled upon a glorious page at the Heritage Foundation hosting hundreds of non-ironic thank yous posted for recently-departed President George W. Bush. Based on their uniformly-saccharine content and the absence of even the subtlest barb, it seemed like a tightly-moderated operation. OverwhelmingEvidence.com this was not. So I composed a thank you that I hoped would be able to limbo beneath the moderation. This is what I wrote:

I've seen the expression "leave it all on the road" on this site and in propaganda by various campaigns, all of them for Democrats.

But I just hopped onto the information superhighway to see what doing a google in the intertubes would net me and came up with less information than that with which I started. So I'm asking you, the people most likely to know: what does "leave it all on the road" mean and what exactly are its origins? What does the pronoun "it" refer to? What does the metaphor "road" represent? Does "leave" means that "it" can never be retrieved? Those are my questions. Thank you and good night.
