No Light On Our Deepwater Horizon
June 22, 2010 by Ben Crystal
Welcome to the Summer of Schadenfreude for Earth Firsters everywhere. And what a celebration they’ve been enjoying. Fronted by Dear Leader Obama and Rahm “never let a good crisis go to waste” Emanuel, the libs have been breaking their arms in paroxysms of self-congratulation since BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig began spewing 10W30 into the Gulf.
You wouldn’t think an oil spill would bring tears of joy to anyone; but for the flat-earthers, the Deepwater Disaster means validation—if not votes. There haven’t been this many “I-told-you-so’s” since Elin Nordgren called her mother the day after Thanksgiving.
The President just gave us another glimpse of his plans, announcing an investigative commission with the petroleum-specific expertise of the pump jockey at the Gas’n’Go. The only real scientist of the group is an expert in optics. The John Hinckley jury would have been just as qualified.
The kangaroo court of a commission comes on the heels of a $20 billion shakedown of BP during which Obama acted like a loanshark chasing some schlub who’s late with the vig. Of course, when the President puts the knuckles to someone, instead of no-neck types with names like Duke and Rocco, he has the 82nd Airborne.
As for “plugging the damn hole”—Despite Dutch and Belgian expertise in dealing with precisely the situation Obama and his cronies are mishandling, Presidential obligations to Big Labor preclude any consideration of suspending the Jones Act and bringing speedy relief to Charlie the Tuna. In the Obama/Emanuel/Democrat crisis management handbook, people from other countries are fine if they’re crawling through a tunnel toward Tucson, but not so much when they’re petrochemical engineers offering to put a stop to a terrible waste of the good stuff.
Nor will there be any reconsideration of the Federal ban on offshore drilling in productive waters. In fact, there’s still a six-month moratorium on offshore drilling in water deeper than 500 feet—the equivalent of holding the Olympic diving events in the downstairs bathtub.
With the left’s petroleum pity party in full swing, let’s look at their viable alternatives. Any wingnut can decry America’s tendency to lean on Castrol. According to newly appointed Spill Panelist Frances Beinecke, this whole situation is a result of “America’s addiction to oil.” Well thank you Madam Obvious. So, what are you offering?
Wind power sounds nice. It’s clean, “Green,” and doesn’t make Flipper icky. But wind power means windmills—and windmills ruin the view from the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport.
Solar power is another Woodstock-approved energy source. You’ve never seen a Sierra Club ad featuring a baby seal flopping around helplessly in a puddle of photovoltaic cells. Unfortunately, solar power’s start-up costs are so prohibitively high, Moonbeam Mary and Patchouli Pete wouldn’t have enough left over to fix the Microbus. Plus, you’d have to pave Montana in solar panels just to power Al Gore’s mega-mansion; with maybe enough left over to run John Edwards’s hair dryer.
Ethanol gets a few column inches every time the prices at pump inch up, but that’s hype, not help. Even if every acre of corn in the country was earmarked for fuel production, it would only cover 12 percent to 15 percent of the nation’s fuel needs. And you’d have a hard time telling the kids why Tony the Tiger can’t join them for breakfast anymore.
Nuclear power is a near-perfect solution—except that Hollywood hates it. They can’t run their Priuses on plutonium. And do we really want movie stars riding around on small thermonuclear devices? Hmm..nah.
The U.S. IS the Kuwait of coal. But the eco-shriekers say it’s gross. You have to dig massive holes to get to the stuff. Fine if you’re mining diamonds for Barbra Streisand’s cleavage bling, but not cool if you’re trying to turn the lights on in a neighborhood where Babs wouldn’t be caught dead. Also, Al Gore says coal causes global warming. We should trust Al Gore—he invented the internet.
So it’s back to the deepwater drilling board for the time being. Fortunately, the world has plenty of the black stuff left. We’ll be kicking the Enterprise into warp drive long before we run out of oil. The solutions are right in front of us, if we can shoehorn some common sense into energy policy.
In the meantime, Obama was back on the golf course this weekend. Hey, Mr. President, when Malia asked “Did you plug the hole yet, daddy?” I don’t think she meant the 5th at Congressional.

You think for your self? Wow!!Now thats a novel idea.I'll bet there are others on this site that are goading you on.Here are some excerpts from your Marxist playbook.I will skip number one...and go right to number two.
"Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
3.Destroy the faith in their leaders by holding them up to contempt,ridicule and obliquity(much like you did George Bush).
4.Always preach true democracy,but sieze power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.(how many czars?)
5.By enouraging government extravagence,(phony stimulus packages) destroy its credit,"produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.(his poll numbers are dropping like a anchor)
6. Foment unnecesary strikes in vital industries,encourage civil disorders..( Black Panthers at the polling booths)and foster lenient and soft attitudes on the part of the government towards such disorders.
(DOJ says leave the Black Panthers alone)
7.By specious argument,cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues of honesty,sobriety,continence, faith in the pledged word.(create one crisis after the other)
Hope and Fear entwined.Never let a good crisis go to waste"Saul Alinskey"
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with the view of confiscating them and leaving the population helpless.Thats right out of the communist manifesto which you may or may not have read.
Do you know how long they have been working on this project? This manifesto was written in 1919.
Actually Tim, there are bad repubs just like there are bad dimmies.You act like I'm not aware of that.All you have to do is follow the money...who is paying Bloomberg an exorbitant amount to let the Muslims build a 6 story mosque at ground zero?And he's a jew.Whats wrong with that picture?
Why wasn't the revolt captured by the MSM?(Main Street Media for the zombies) Did you see Robert Spencer in the pictures I sent you? He's my second cousin.Follow the money,Timbo,if you want to know whats happening in this country.
George Soros,remember him? Moveon.org? The dimmies don't make a move without consulting him first.All the fat cats of the world have planned your future.I don't think you will like it at all.You may want to move to Beverly Hills. |
