 TR> Ann Coulter :  This is Not a Drill
 ...
 TR> Congress," explained the cause of high oil prices back in
 TR> 2006: "We have two oilmen in the White House. The logical
 TR> follow-up from that is $3-a-gallon gasoline. It is no
 TR> accident. It is a cause and effect. A cause and effect."

 That was in 2006. It's now running near, and sometimes over,
 $4/gal. Same cause.

 ...

 TR> Pelosi is a hotelier ... and the price of a hotel room in
 TR> New York is $1,000 a night! I think she might be onto
 TR> something.

 Three star, across from Carnegie Hall... $264.
 Four star, East Midtown... $268.
 Three Star, Midtown Business district... $224.
 Four 1/2 star, Upper East side... $412.
 Three Star, Times Square...$214.
 Four Star, Central Park... $359.

 TR> In response to the 2003 blackout throughout the Northeast
 TR> U.S. and parts of Canada, Pelosi blamed: "President Bush
 TR> and Rep. Tom DeLay's oil- company interests." The blackout
 TR> was a failure of humans operating electric power; it had
 TR> nothing to do with oil. And I'm not even "an oilman."

 It had everything to do with deregulation.

 TR> A government official with relevant experience or knowledge
 TR> about an issue is obviously a crisis of gargantuan
 TR> proportions.

 Esp if he is bought and paid for. Bush's experience and
 knowledge is in running oil companies into the ground. Cheney's
 is in selling to Iran during the embargo.

 TR> This must be why the Democrats are nominating B. Hussein
 TR> Obama, who finished middle school three days ago and has
 TR> less experience than a person one might choose at random
 TR> from the audience of "American Idol."

 Yet still more than GW Bush had when he took office.

 TR> That's not an energy plan. It's using what we already have
 TR> -- much like "conservation," which is also part of the
 TR> Democrats' plan.

 And the single most effective immediate remedy available.

 TR> Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve
 TR> for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we

 It does stretch what we have further. Filling the oil reserves
 with oil at high cost did not get us any more energy either.

 ...

 TR> We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a
 TR> "plan." We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.

 Coulter reveals her complete ignorance. Conservation is what we
 used to call, "waste not want not." A survival skill from the
 past.

 TR> But there's more! Pelosi announced that the Democrats also
 TR> plan to push for "an historic investment in biofuels,
 TR> efficiency, conservation and

 Well, now that one is just plain wrong... it should have been
 "...a historic...".

 TR> That certainly would be historic: We would make history by
 TR> throwing our money away on unproven energy boondoggles that

 Used to be called research. OTOH, Oil was an unproven boondoggle
 not that long ago, historically speaking.

 TR> have eaten up untold billions since the 1960s without
 TR> producing a single net kilowatt of power while we all
 TR> starve to death.

 Ummm... no power from windmills? No power from solar? What cave
 has Coulter been living in?

 ...

 TR> right, appear the words, "then a miracle happens," followed
 TR> by more numbers and characters.

 That was the Bush plan, for war in Iraq, energy prices,
 medical... oh hell, just about everything.

 TR> That's the Democrats' plan to run cars on biofuels, solar
 TR> and wind power:

 Already being done.

 TR> Democrats are also alleging that the oil companies are
 TR> sitting on millions of acres of oil but are refusing to
 TR> drill --

 Of the 86 alleged billions of barrells off shore, a bit over 75%
 are *NOT* subject to the drilling embargo. Yet they aren't being
 drilled, now are they?

 TR> If the Democrats really wanted oil companies to find more
 TR> oil, they'd allow oil companies to drill offshore and to
 TR> drill in ANWR, which we happen to know is bursting with oil.

 Over 75% of the offshore oil they say they want to drill is
 available...let them drill there first.
