e-mail conversations between the two Canadian oil execs...
Kerry: I tried to keep everybody focused on the physical pipeline and jobs they might get but a few people were asking questions about where the oil was going once it came through the pipeline.
Girling: Where the hell do they think its going? Its going to China for Christs sake. Do they think it was going to the Shell station around the corner?
Kerry: The poll we did last week shows that 80 of Americans think that the oil is coming right into the US for their own consumption. Well when we told them it was getting piped to the Gulf, they assumed it was the Gulf station on Main street. We have about 30 senators and congressmen that seem to have a problem with us laying a 1700 mile skid-mark through the center of America that wont benefit the US one bit.

Everybody lately is crowding in on The Onion's turf. Not that this is a bad thing...
