I'm curious as to why the 'Bushtapo' is owed thanks by the oil-producing dictators of the world, but the Democrats who have filibustered to prevent any currently-viable energy source from being developed domestically (oil, coal, gas, nuclear, hydro) for the past thirty years aren't owed any thanks for the $130-a-barrel oil they've helped enable?

I don't know. Why do you ask? I've certainly never suggested such a thing.

The only thing wrong with Africa as a continent is that everything wants to eat you. There is plenty wrong with the culture of the people (black, white or green), however.

Lord! lord! lord!,

trumpitduck,

Gilduck, being a socialist, could rightly be called evil and selfish; but racist? Com'on, a socialist will steal from anyone and Gilduck has never shown himself to be picky.

Since Martin never engages in hyperbole, I can only assume that the name of the FBI was officially changed to Bushtapo and I missed it.

Who said that all the starving lived in Africa? You don't give a damn if black babies die? Is that what you mean? What if one of the starving was a white dude named Gil? Then, you might change your evil, selfish, racist tune.

Not because it is actually happening and it is caused by man; but because it is not clear that global warming is real and there is zero evidence that man is the cause. What makes this serious and pressing is that the government has now bought into it as another way to increase its ability to run our lives, and many big business are going along because they see no alternative since the government has taken the position it has.

And, of course the envirowhackos see it as the ultimate weapon to rule over human lives and free markets.

hugo chávez sends you all his thanks for that, since you all know that with oil at $30 he would be but a bad memory.

Chávez, bin Laden and Ahmadinejad all owe the Bushtapo a thousand thanks.

It depends. In Venezuela, with 70% of our energy needs coming from hydro and gas going for ten cents a gallon, there is still a lot of air-conditioning to be done. (Now sorry if that makes it warmer for you)

With respect to those 800.000.000 someone suggested to knock-off I must say that their disappearance would force us to reduce our price forecast for oil since it is exactly this group we are counting on to go over from bicycles to motorcycles… and hopefully cars.

But, having said that, perhaps the greatest threat to our oil price is all those in the developed world going from cars to motorcycles and then, oh horrible thought, to bicycles. But of course that should not happen as long as US sprawl planners prefer to ignore realities… hugo chávez sends you all his thanks for that, since you all know that with oil at $30 he would be but a bad memory.

Where I live, the temperature has risen twenty degrees in two days. At this rate, the lakes will begin boiling by the end of the month.

I bet anything that it is because of people who have screwed up thoughts of collectivist grandeur like you that are the cause.

That is damn good, Adam. Please move to Houston so I can work with you occasionally.

I can't move to Canada, my ex-wife owns it.

I think global warming is a more intractable problem than is simple starving. But even that problem can be removed from the list if everybody and every living thing dies off. But the ethical thing, it seems to me, is for the people that are causing global warming to die, and to die fast, so that the innocent my continue to live and flourish.
Oh dear, my stomach is growling. It must be time for a late night snack.
