I enjoyed your post immensely, especially the Cat in the Hat quote. Gore's over-use of the monosyllabic adjective, "BIG" (meaning "bad") as in Big Tobacco, Big Drug Companies, and our favorite, Big Oil, is so transparent it's transparent. Are the American people really that stupid? Tune in around November 4. As for your mentioning of Tiberius or some other dead Romans (early DWEMs), Algore's oil plans remind me a little of the thinking behind Chairman Mao's Great Leap Forward in 1956 or so, where the peasants all melted down their ploughs and pots into pig iron so the nation could "industrialize." Over 30 million Chinese starved to death the next year, I believe, and cannibalism was widely reported. Mao was then pushed into the shadows (until his notorious grab for power in 1966 in the Cultural Revolution).
Home heating oil reserve, extracting strategic petroleum and we are going to store it, where? Maybe in some empty tankers. That's the ticket. Or maybe the Kingdome in Seattle. Nope, too late, they blew that one up, er, down.
Some oil expert was on Fox news with Tony Snow--it all boiled down to: get ready for a long cold expensive winter.
Just so Malcolm won't be disappointed, imho whoever gets elected in November will serve one term only (although it will feel like an unconstitutional 3). The economy tanks next spring for either a big R or a little D.
