Well, I suppose it was inevitable. Even during the 2000 election, they didn't hide their desire to expand oil exploration and drilling up there. I guess it's "buyer beware" on our part.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I say.

Expect a firesale of natural resources by the bush admin over the next 12 months. Democrats will allow this as every time the repubs do it it will extend the dems future hold on power, allowing them to do the same fucking thing for the next 20 years.

It's politics, it's cyclical.

In terms of actual effects, this is probably worse than ANWR.

as humans are horrid selfish monkeys, extraction of every last drop of petroleum is inevitable.

the sooner we extract it & burn it, the sooner its over.

why fight it? lie back & relax, earth.

Those walruses were asking for it. The bears, too.

Jesus Christ, we're going to be apologizing for Bush/Cheney FOREVER at this rate.
