Fuck, more of the arctic drilling shit is being stirred up again. A measure for artic drilling was defeated a couple of weeks back, but that isn't stopping these republican assholes from trying again. In addition to the irresponsibility of arctic drilling, all of the gifts to energy companies in this proposal make me nauseous.

My favorite quote from that article came from Rep. Richard Pombo of California, saying "doesn't it make sense for us to adopt some sensible policies that will boost our energy security?" Sensible policies? It seems to me that "sensible policies" would be ones that try to diminish (and ultimately eliminate) our oil addiction.
