Bets are on for drilling in Arctic refuge

[Contrary1]

And the beat goes on. So very sad...for all of us, even the idiots who will never realize it (or care).

"Emboldened by a stronger Senate majority, Republicans are once again trying to open the oil-rich but environmentally sensitive Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. Environmentalists are gearing up for battle, but the numbers favor Republicans and even some Democrats are resigned to defeat after staving off drilling in the Alaska refuge for a decade."

1. It'll never happen, it's melting too fast.

The "perma-frost" is no longer, it would be one big bogg. I'd like to see them try. As a matter of fact, this could be their Waterloo, having to tell the public that all their brilliant plans are moot because things got too warm. Hmmmm. I wonder how things got too warm.

2. I don't care, let em drill.....

I say we drill that sucker till we hit the other side of the earth, then we run a gigantic chord through the earth and slingshot ourselves into the sun.
