Half-time for the Jets, who have a 28-3 lead over Kansas City. But I'm sure they'll figure out a way to let the Chiefs back in the game, so I'll write today's entry now, before my hands start to shake and my eyes aren't blinded by Jet rage.
The thing that has me confused today is partly the same old, same old, but nonetheless I simply can't understand how the Democrat party can watch the economic devastation caused by our dependency on foreign oil and still do their best to block the transcontinental pipeline.
They tout fuel and power alternatives that don't exist, pour money down drains such as ethanol projects, and watch the mainstream of their voters, which includes droves of the unemployed, practically starve to death in one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Additionally, since so many other things are dependent on fossil fuel, the costs of travel, transportation, commutation, and all the products, services in any way oil-related are considerably more costly than they ever should be.
What's more, if the environment really needs all the over-protection it's already getting, why not fix the problem the other way around. There are plenty of safeguards that can be employed to insure we have clean air and water, which can easily be paid for by petroleum producers, but first they have to be allowed to produce right here at home. And, if that happens, I think the booming that will occur in the economy will provide more than enough capital for investment in practically any safeguards the environmentalists want.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
