Am I the only one who finds it extraordinary how little mention there is in the coverage of the latest catastrophe that politicians are running all over the country demanding that we do more of this stuff rather than cut down on oil use?

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

You shouldn't be, but …
If you like symbolism we've had a Natural Gas (the almost completed power plant in Connecticut), Coal (WV) and now Oil rig accident / explosion that have all been deadly and out-sized failures - and all in just the last 4 months.
But hey - those wind turbines sure could ruin the view, right?
If we would hurry up and melt the polar ice caps, we could drill well away from inhabited coast lines.

No. There are at least two of us.
I've been saying drill baby, drill all week. I think I will double down on my mantra, for we are in agreement.
More like, spill baby,spill! So how's that oily, drilly, spilly thang workin' out for ya (wink-wink)?
@Proton:
Pitch-Perfect.
New meme to spread (like an oil slick): "How's that DRILL BABY DRILL thing workin' out for ya?" (wink, wink)
Just this morning I sent an email to environmental-action.org suggesting that they use some of my monthly donation to purchase ad space in Louisiana showing Palin, Giuliani, et al. chanting "Drill Baby Drill" at the 2008 Republical National Convention.

In fact, the exact quote being circulated is 'because those politicians won't let us drill close in, oilmen have been forced to drill in deep water where we have these accidents'.
As if oil companies don't pursue drilling to the extractible limit, ie until the marginal cost of production equals the price of a barrel of oil.
It is economic nonsense (if we drilled inshore oil then we'd just exhaust it sooner) but, no kidding, people believe this stuff. Just as they believe 'Drill, Baby, drill'.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.

Rush has already blamed Obama for this debacle.
