Oil Soaked Hands

A group of environmentally-concerned do-gooders linked hands at beaches the world over including the beach at Pensacola, Florida to demand an end to all offshore oil drilling. What do these earth-loving sages expect their vehicles to run on- fairy dust and unicorn urine? Who knows- with the lunatic crowd controlling D.C. right now, this insanity might gain traction. After all, an elderly female crank who was sponsored if not commissioned to act by crossing the United States in a bus to demand campaign finance reform was a the public face if not the driving force that led to abominable McCain-Feingold being passed, and there was no natural constituency calling for such limits on spending in races and the speech that represents as there is with the Sierra Club/Green Peace hippies that refuse to grow up really pushing to end petroleum exploration in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico tragedy. This type of thinking could pass, putting the last nail in our economy and denying us the mobility that we have always enjoyed and needed considering the vast distances we and our freight have to contend with in America.
