		<description>I called Schmidt&#039;s D.C. office and was transferred to someone named Justin in her Energy Policy dept. I asked him whether Congresswoman Schmidt was still claiming that China was drilling off Cuba. He asked wehther I was from Ohio and when I said NO, he hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to Justin, but now he was out of the office, so I left a message for him that he is an unprofessional little snot.

		<description>It is a simple world for the sycophants isn&#039;t it?  Never have to think for yourself, never question authority.  And life is full of black and white choices like, if we dril in ANWAR gas will be too cheap to meter!  Cheney told me so!

Like little ants, they get their directions from the queen and never question anything.  Too bad these little piss ants vote.

In November we will fumigate the nest and squash their queen.</description>

		<description>This is why the corporate media is experiencing a precipitous drop in relevancy.
It is populated by WAY too many professional liars and propagandists. 
Why waste time listening to false information when it only takes seconds to use &quot;the Google&quot;.
These people are pre-net dinosausrs (like McCain)</description>

		<description>johnsom:

The biggest obstacle to recovery is WATER. One gallon of oil shale requires 1-3 gallons of water. Colorado is near the peak of its permits and it is possible oil company water rights could actually trump those of many cities. Extraction also requires significant energy, likely requiring new power plants. 

I am sure this will all get worked out soon. Of course, the process for actually extracting oil from oil shale had not been proven and the DOE estimates the Green river could produce up to 2 mbpd - in 2020. This will likely only OFFSET the expected decline in production of existing oil fields.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll repeat myself, ad nauseum, that opening up ANWR is not about the minimal amount of oil there. It is its location on the Arctic coast. The ideal location for a military/energy/industry city once the ice melts sufficiently for year round shipping.
 &lt;em&gt;Why do you think all the caribou migrate there to calve?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Mary&#039;s just trying to convince herself that the lie is true.  Everyone else moved on to better things.  Americans want change and hope.  In the story of Pandora&#039;s box, hope remained in the box.  Now the boy Bush and his Chimnpltons want to take hope away from us. To he(l with them.  I&#039;m moving on.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;pee mavrk Says:

Whether she lied or not, let us not distract from the issue at hand.

The democrats in Congress are blocking us from drilling here and now. They democrats are blocking us from becoming independent of foreign oil.

So, I ask you. Do you care about what Mary Matalin says? Or, do you care what your democratic Congress is doing, or not doing?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

By all means, let us give Mary Matalin a pass for lying on national TV, since her heart was in the right place. Is that how it goes, pee?

&quot;&quot;&lt;em&gt; They democrats are blocking us from becoming independent of foreign oil&lt;/em&gt;???

Three months to two years&#039; worth of oil at current useage will make us &quot;independent&quot; of foreign oil? Okay, great. Then what. Let&#039;s say Congress opens ANWAR to drilling tomorrow, pee. In ten years, they start pumping. We can tell Saudi Arabia to go Cheney themselves. Eighteen months later we&#039;re getting that &quot;sucking&quot; sound in the pump, and we go to the Saudis and say, uh, sorry, Mr. Saudi, we need to borrow a cup of oil. I know we told you to go Cheney yourselves, but that was just a friendly joke, y&#039;know? Between friends.... you want &lt;em&gt;how much&lt;/em&gt;? Three hundred dollars a barrel? Uh... okay. what choice do we have? The Republican Party kept fighting any efforts to develop alternative energy sources, they just kept pushing to open ANWAR, and now that&#039;s gone... Wait a minute...  never mind, Sheik, we got OIL SHALE!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;johnsom Says: 

Remove the laws preventing drilling, and we’d be rolling in oil. Oil prices would immediately plunge by more than $50/barrel, and gas at the pump would be back in the $2 range within weeks.&lt;/em&gt;

Why would the oil companies do anything to reduce their profits?  They really aren&#039;t into offering consumers a bargain; they&#039;re corporations that exist to maximize profits.  What a ridiculous statement.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Xisithrus, imagine you were on a plane that crashed on an island in the middle of the ocean. &lt;strong&gt;[[Wheres the Island again??]]&lt;/strong&gt; Say there are 100 of you. Nobody knows you’re there, and the only food you have is what you can find. Say, after a six months of searching the island for food, you’ve covered “everywhere” at least once.&lt;strong&gt; [[What no fish in the middle of the ocean??]]
&lt;/strong&gt;
Ok, now further imagine you’re just about to starve to death, but you remember that when you were on the east side of the island you found a small cluster of coconut trees, &lt;strong&gt;[[Why is my memory as bad as yours?]]&lt;/strong&gt; and you harvested all the coconuts you could find. Those coconuts lasted you 10 days. So, in good faith you Xisithrus say to the group, “hey, there are coconut trees over on east side of the island, remember?”

Now, what would you think if someone in the group (probably a left wing blogger) said to you, “no, we don’t want to go over there to harvest those coconuts because the area was so pretty, we don’t want to trample on the brush&lt;strong&gt;[[coconuts grom in the brush?/]]&lt;/strong&gt;And besides, those trees will only produce about 10 days of coconuts.”

What would you think? What do you think you would say?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I would say, go fish, ya freakin ninnies, there are not now, or then, enough cooonuts to feed us. Thus offshore oilwells were born.</description>

		<description>.

Ms Matalin will be a fugative in due time...
LYING comes natural to her heart...

p.s.
Why is Carville still married to that perp, anyway?
Is she &lt;em&gt;THAT&lt;/em&gt; good under the sheets, or what?

		<description>James Carville: Mary, have you been faithful to me?

Mary Matalin: Yes, James, just as sure as the Chinese are drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba, I have been faithful to you.

		<description>Let me see if I have this right. So, you leftists don’t want the us to drill here in the US? -Johnsom

I am a moderate sir, and I would thank you to stop assuming. Cuba is not in the US, sir. And as for drilling in the US plenty of drilling is going on. ANWR is a puddle and has become a political football. Both sides, Democratic and Republican know its not worth the effort to drill in ANWR at this time. Its a soundbyte you can safely ignore.</description>
