The oil lies get verse and we have unfinished business.

Before I bid adieu...

Alaska's North Slope -- that is where they drill for oil they said we needed. They also said oil royalties would spread the wealth, but something went wrong. "Going back to dog sleds is an option," said one. He was not joking. How could this happen? Don't Alaskans get  big checks as part of the deal? Yes, Alaskans do, but they pay more for their gas than everyone else!

What a surprise...

This seems relevant now that Bush wants to expand drilling off the coast. Could someone tell me what exactly this drilling off the coast buys us? They said it will change the psychology, why not solve some real problems? Why not heal the Earth while developing better energy sources? I bet creating a ton of new jobs would help stop all the whining. Bush will never change, why does Congress continue to follow his lead? We are working to take back our country, why does Reid still appease Bush? Why does Pelosi insist we set a table that serves only Bush? Our problem is not just Republicans, it's with our leadership too. This election is more than just picking the next Chief Executive. We should also pick more progressive Democrats to represent us. My friends, President Obama still means we have lots of work to do.

Time to eat your Wheaties ...
