We are sitting on enough oil to power the US through the year 2041 and yet we continue to be held hostage by OPEC and oil companies that would rather sell more expensive crude. Put that together with our political cowtowing to environmentalists and you have expensive gasoline guaranteed.

Perhaps I should say radical environmentalists or fanatic environmentalists. I like to think we are all (for the most part) environmentalists. We pick up after our dog, don’t pour paint down the drain, by green products and sort our trash. We all want the earth and our neighborhood to be pretty and healthy.

But there are those who would just as soon see humankind shuffle off this coil so animals and plants would be happy. They would just as soon see us return to the caves of our forefathers and eat a diet that the by-product of which, would be little gold donuts.

They don’t care it we pay $4 a gallon for fuel or even $100. They would rather America fail (and with us goes the world) than to use the resources we have at hand.

Did you know . . . the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years’ is the Williston Basin. More commonly known as the ‘Bakken.’ And it stretches from northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. We now have access of up to 500 billion barrels of light, sweet crude. With today’s technology. Want to read about it? This from the USGS newsroom . . .

3 to 4.3 Billion Barrels of Technically Recoverable Oil Assessed in North Dakota and Montana’s Bakken Formation—25 Times More Than 1995 Estimate

That press release is dated a year and a half ago. Have you heard the news? Are we working towards production? We don’t even need our Strategic Oil Reserve that has cost the taxpayer billions.

BS.

They would be in no more danger than they are today. Release all the photos – get it over with – the fruit loops will dance and burn things and talk about cutting the heads of infidels and then they will forget about it.

Remember, open and transparent.

Oh, by the way. Those a**h***s who are suing to get them released. You are the scum of the earth because you aren’t doing it for freedom of the press or free speech. You are doing it because that is the only way you can get your rocks off – you are worse than all the terrorist’s put together.

Osama bin Laden threatened Americans in a new audio recording aired Wednesday. I think it is getting kind of boring now.

I have seen the kind of mud house he’s living in – the most hi-tech thing there is the cassette recorder he is using for all these threats.

9-11 was a horrific event but all in all, I would say luck, certainly not skill played an important part.

Can it happen again? Well, they say if you have enough monkeys banging away at typewriters eventually they will come up with a best seller. Maybe OBL’s crowd, for lack of anything else to do in the mud hut, is banging away. If something ever happens I pay a little more attention. Until then OBL, baby, I got enough on my plate to worry about.
