Drilling for common sense in Congress

Opinion: Drilling for common sense in Congress | going, journal, politicians : TheDestinLog.com

The front page of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, (AJC or “Al Jazeera Constitution” as locals call it) led with a piece about off-shore drilling by saying, “Opponents contend that developing new oil sources would take too long to have much effect on current fuel prices.”

Like all the major monopoly papers that are leftist echo chambers, the AJC takes its talking points from “Nanny” Pelosi, who said that any new drilling will take three years to help us. You know the same thing that she said three years ago.
Just how short-term has our thinking become in this ADD country?

Our energy solution procrastination reminds me of a story about an old farmer who had a leak in his barn. One day, when someone asked the farmer why he had never gotten up there to fix the roof, he said, “Well, when it rains it leaks, and I cannot get up there to fix it. And when it ain’t raining, it don’t leak and it don’t need fixing.”
