Stanley, North Dakota, becomes oil boomtown where a water hauler can fetch $100K

STANLEY, North Dakota (CNN) -- Herb Geving unleashes a broad smile in his 11,000-square-foot mansion. The former cattleman, farmer and owner of a North Dakota garbage business is now retired, able to count the dollar signs brought in by three oil wells.

"Oil," he says, "it's amazing. You don't have to work at all. You just walk to the mailbox and there it is."

1. yea it's ridiculous-the endless obama oil flip flop segment made for morons

[blm]

2. AOL/TimeWarner/CNN's largest shareholders include House of Saud.

No mystery to why CNN has protected BushInc for so long. Turner was pushed out by the Time Warner guys and the war profiteers danced in his empty office.

If they want to drill in North Dakota, there isn't anything stopping them from doing it right now.

If they drill offshore, nobody is going to get rich off of that except the oil companies themselves.
