Sharpen Up those Oil Drills!
This week, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 4529, our GOP allies' latest proposal to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling.

Of course, the business-impaired tree-huggers at the National Resources Defense Council say the bill is a bad idea: that it will wreck the environment only to create a 180-day supply of oil that won't materialize for ten years.

In a suggested letter to your Congressperson (how quaint!), the NRDC goons argue that "This pro-polluter legislation would enrich oil, gas, coal and nuclear companies with billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies."

Well, duh! What is government for, if not to make Billionaires richer at the expense of the taxpayers?

As for the environmental hysteria, we must simply ask: how much have moose, bald eagles, and seals contributed to the GDP this year?

If you're in Washington this week, fellow Billionaires, salute your Congresspersons (whoever among them you happen to own) with the following cheer: "4-5-2-9! Drilling in the Arctic's Fine!"

Keep those fat contributions coming, and it won't be long before Alaska's coast is bubbling over with Texas tea...
