Joke of a country

Or as Kunstler puts it, "easy motoring nation."

Of course, it was this president and there's always an unreality behind each message. And it was the SOTU, and it is us.

Bush's Goals on Energy Quickly Find Obstacles


And then there are twats like Joe Barton.
Representative Joe L. Barton of Texas, the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, even seemed to contradict the president's alarms about high energy prices. "America runs on energy that is both abundant and available at prices we can afford to pay," Mr. Barton said in a statement.
Oh, and twats like:
Charles W. Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries; James C. Dobson, chairman of Focus on the Family; the Rev. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries; the Rev. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention; Richard Roberts, president of Oral Roberts University; Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association; and the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition.
See also Rodger Payne (most definitely not a twat) writing on what has gone consistently unmentioned. Remember, "addiction to oil" means: makes us send our military all over the place.
