The Age Old Question

Posted by L Gravel on Thursday, August 07, 2008 8:08:07 PM
According to Fox News:
Several GOP House lawmakers this week have taken the chamber by storm as Congress is officially on a five-week break and Democrats are out of town. The show continued Wednesday, its fourth day, with an appearance by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

The GOP members say it is to bring attention to Democrats' blocking a vote on offshore oil drilling legislation, an issue Republicans say would be a winner if it actually made it to a vote.
So if the House Republicans stage an historic protest and the media doesn't bother to cover it, do they make a sound?

Living in the Now

Posted by L Gravel on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 6:00:00 PM
Opponents of drilling for oil say it won't impact oil prices now.

They're wrong, of course, due to the existence of the futures market (the domain of the much-pilloried "speculators").  But for the sake of argument, let's say they're correct.

And while we're at it, let's swallow whole the notion that mankind is causing global warming.  (On earth anyway; we'll leave it to Al Gore to explain who's causing global warming on Mars.)

Therefore, am I permitted to emit as much carbon as I want, because it won't impact global warming now?
