I blew it.....I wrote a very long post about the Ann Coulter column you posted but didn't identify....unfortunately I didn't post it all the way and lost it....

Briefly.....ANWR.. Bush said a few weeks ago that ANWR would be producing 670,000 barrels a day by now.....big whip! If the 230 million vehicles in the US saved just 0.12 gallons a day it would be the equivalent of potential ANWR production....think of it....don't drive about 1.5 miles a day on your 15 mpg SUV and ANWR is here right now.

Put this in your file..... The world uses 88 million barrels of oil every day.... There are an estimated 1.2 trillion barrels of proven reserves in the world. At the current rate of consumption (and we know that's increasing), the world is effectively out of oil in 38 years!!!! Maybe ANWR should be a strategic petroleum reserve....and some of the off shore sites also.... Knowing how paranoid you wingnuts are having some oil in reserve may be more important defensively than 1000 mile fences, invasion of undeveloped countries, anti-missile systems, and pissing off a former enemy who still has 1000's of nukes... You guys are so myopic.
