The BP disaster: a case for more off shore drilling

Predictably, the call for more off shore drilling and other kinds of drilling is being muffled out by the drone of reports of the BP mess. The BP mess should be call for more and smarter drilling. BP was pushed off shore 50 miles to try to extract oil from under a mile of gulf water. That’s insane when you consider there are closer and easier reserves to tap on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts.


Now the same people – eviro nuts and Demo-Dopes - who pushed BP 50 miles off shore to drill a well under a mile gulf water feign outrage that something has gone horribly wrong. This is a kin to mom and dad sending jr. out in his hot rod on an icy night to get them pizza from Joe’s Pizza in a town 50 miles away when there is a Joe’s just around the corn from the house. Then when jr. slides off the road and wrecks the car, mom and dad are furious at jr. Mom and dad would be better served to take a look at their own idiotic policy of putting jr. on the road in bad weather at night on a long road trip to retrieve something that was just around the corner in the first place.

Instead of saying, “Hey jr., we blew that one.” Mom and dad call in the police to see if jr. was speeding when he drove off the road. And ban all pizza from the house even from the shop around the corner. Then because they think pizza and other such foods are bad because jr. wrecked getting them one, they decide the kids must be taxed not only for the pizza but for hamburgers, ice cream and pop as well.

This is what the government is doing with the so called energy plan. The Demo-Dopes claim we need a plan to get us off of foreign oil and lessen the likelihood of another BP type disaster. But, they want to tax all carbon out put.

Seems to me if want to limit oil especially foreign oil consumption that you’d make other domestic energy resources more available and advantageous by taxing them less. But in the bizzaro world of Washington D.C. an energy plan is really an enviro wacko climate control bill designed to send us back to the days when Abe Lincoln walked three miles each way just to return a library book. Walking will be the only option.

And now there are hints of the government taking over BP and /or the entire US oil industry. There are serious thoughts for this proposal from serious people and they are joined by half-wits like Maxine Waters and Rosie O’Donnell. For your comic gold today, watch the white guy in the Waters video to Water’s right as she struggles for a sane thought. LOL funny.

Now when this accident happened I thought it might be terrorism. It turns out it wasn’t. Big brother said that it was sad that he couldn’t totally rule out administration sabotage so that P-BO could do a 180 on his newly released off-shore drilling policy.

11 men died on that rig (a fact too often ignored) as a result of the explosion. So such thoughts could be the same as Shrillda Beast holding up a newspaper in the well of the senate with headlines that screamed “BUSH KNEW” about 9/11. That’s crazy right? Well as the disaster grows and the feds do precious little to mitigate the disaster, I begin to wonder myself. After all, it was P-BO Chief of Staff Naked Boy Rahm Emanuel who was quoted as saying, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.”
