2. Yeah, so? It's a comedy site. It's also a political site, in the best way. The best comedy has a grain of truth in it. I'm grateful that this place seems to be one of the last bastions of free speech left in this country.

3. Does it make you feel better about yourself to be smug?

4. Again, do you get that tinkle of superiority in your loins by putting others down?

McCain is supporting a blundering policy that will render our dollar worthless, if we continue to borrow from China to fund nursing a country we broke, back to health. Why aren't we "fighting terror" in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Bin Laden is laying in wait to kill us. We need to stop Halliburton and Exxon from running this country into the ground, the way Hoover let the energy companies do just before the fall of the great depression.
Clinton left us with a surplus.
The GOP spent it.
They want to spend more.
We need our money to defeat our enemy and protect national security.
Make oil obsolete.
We are smarter than the combustible engine.
Get Osama. Vote Obama.

That's actually why I like Obama. Because for the first time in a long time, I voted for someone I think isn't BS'ing me.

Just saw on another page that the Petroleum Institute had a coffee clatch with Fox News.

The Petroleum institute. How cozy. Now I get it. This whole gas price blow up is all one big ploy to strong arm us ignorant Americans into crying uncle and letting them drill – oh, and don't forget to subsidize them so they can take more food out of poor children's mouth in the welfare line.

The market is being manipulated.
Monopolies and cartels are running rampant.
Gee, what a surprise they want to reintroduce the American people to domestic drilling.
AS IF
that will make any difference at all.
As it stands now, the Japanese end up with our Alaskan oil, not us.
It's all a manipulative scam.
As if we haven't given the oil companies a free enough ride!
Yeah, that's it – pour our hard earned tax dollars into the fat pockets of those who are gouging us
How stupid do they think we are? Or, are we that stupid? To fall for yet another oilman scam?
Okay, there was Enron.
There was the manipulation of the market to withhold natural gas supply….or, was that whole fake energy crisis fueled up just to ruin Gray Davis' career the way they did it with the last fake energy crisis when they needed to smear Carter? Not to mention the arms for hostages debacle.
It's all a theater to them, isn't it? Who cares that we single moms out there have to choose between gas and food, heating and cooling, or taking our kids to Disneyland.
Thanks, Bush – Cheney – guess you and your fat oilcat friends got rich on all of us, while the American Taxpayers foot the bill to spoon feed corporate welfare to the oil companies.
Gee, I wonder how long before the American people cry uncle and say "yeah! drill in our last natural habitats!" Falsly thinking, like it's some gas tax holiday, and the oil will actually go to the American people, or make one damn bit of difference as the Hummers suck it all up. Then we don't have our American Eagle habitat, and, we don't have air to breathe anymore – because we weren't smart enough to come up with anything better than the combustible engine.
Come on people, get smart. Americans deserve better than this.
Stop the oil companies from bleeding the American taxpayers dry, through our tax dollars, and the travesty at the pump.
