    1. Yep, Alaska's got a little bit of oil up there...............
    and the slugs mean to grease enough palms to keep it coming their way. They really don't have to though, Alaska's as red as they get. Just a few "paybacks" I imagine, for all of the "support" bush has gotten. :eyes:

    2. Acutally, "Uncle" Ted is an accomplished porker
    It's what keeps him in office -- the Natives love him. This has nothing to do with the oil -- He was Chair of Senate Appropriations last year. It makes it very difficult to evict him.
