rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

last week Democrats took a swipe at fixin’ America’s problem with surging energy costs, and they came up with windfall taxes on Big Oil …
So we take away their profits to, what, make sure Billy Bob has enough money to fill up his pickup truck after all and vote for those nice Democrats in the fall, until the next big price shock and we’ll do it again for our hard workin’ American families and still not have a sustainable energy policy and whatthefuck Washington.
… said Ashley.

after such a huge fart, you’d think the Republican party would be all about making up for the Democratic miscue. come up with something good, make the other party look like assholes. it isn’t hard at all to make a Democrat or Republican to look like an asshole.
so they came up with:

Bush Calls For Offshore Drilling

.

In a Rose Garden appearance, the president challenged Democrats to drop their “obstruction” of proposals to expand domestic energy production. “Americans will rightly ask how . . . high gas prices have to rise before the Democratic-controlled Congress will do something about it,” he said.

…

A major uncertainty is the economic impact of offshore drilling, which by Bush’s estimate could result in an extra 18 billion barrels of oil – equivalent to the nation’s current oil production for the next 10 years, according to the White House. Hennessy said he thinks that oil prices might fall as markets began building in the expectation of a growing supply. “We would expect it to have an effect on the price; it’s very difficult to quantify,” he said.
But the federal Energy Information Administration estimated that if leasing began in 2012, “access to the Pacific, Atlantic and eastern Gulf regions would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030.”

gas is $4 a gallon. the country continues to need an energy policy. both parties use it for political points …
eh, fuck. I’m tired.
many would argue that George Bush should be impeached, prosecuted for war crimes, blah blah, etc.
it’ll never happen, and I’ve got no beef with people like Dennis Kucinich going after it, but really, I’d settle for a video of George Bush getting an unexpected kick to the groin. that would do it for me. the Bush administration, all of the bullshit it’s pulled, the international embarassment its been … I just want Bush to get a shot to the groin. then he can walk.
