(10,960 posts)I couldn't say "Canadian oil" or "pumping oil from Canada to Texas"... would give away the punchline.

(10,960 posts)If all US produced natural gas was sold in the US the domestic price of natural gas would go way down.
And since we have not nationalized energy that makes perfect sense.
Speaking for myself, I would nationalize energy.

(7,814 posts)flushed down the drain. I'd like to see dem leaders, maybe even Obama, get up there and talk about three things: 1) the economic, social, and environmental downsides to the project 2) the gop trigger that established the requirement to make a decision on the project before all the legwork could be done, and 3) the fact that this oil would not reduce dependence on foreign oil and would be sold on the world market.
Why can't the messaging on this, like nearly every other issue, be better?

(10,960 posts)There is a difference between sarcasm and satire.
The OP is not sarcastic. It is a parody of RW talking points. And saying "this is satire" undoes the power of satire, which involves tension when it is most effective.
IMO.

(11,415 posts)But, when ctlulu2011 posts they might mean their odd comment to be true.
No problem.
I'll let you guess what I mean by that.
