1. Every bagger who spouts to me that Obama is "too slow"

I reply "you DO know that the Repugs want YOU to pay for the spill, not the oil companies, don't you?"

2. When will they learn?

Time to switch to renewable fuels.

In my book, we need a $1 a gallon gas tax, and use the money for building renewable infrastructure.

Use it to build more ethanol E85 stations. More Biodiesel stations. More electric plug-in facilities at major office complexes.

Use it to sponsor solar panels in areas were oil and gas provide electricity today.

Just do it.

4. I agree with Bill Maher, that everybody who shouted "drill, baby, drill!"

Should report for duty in the Gulf and help with the cleanup. Starting with Sarah Palin. She's already got the waders... :grr:

6. I'm with you, rhiannon! And where is Dick Cheney, too?

He's Missing in Action from all those sniping remarks he used to make, and his little secret energy plan.

7. He has been strangely silent on this, but then Halliburton is also implicated.

Let's hope that he's retired to his undisclosed location, and taken his lovely daughter, Liz, with him. x(
