Our dipsticks are located in DC

Garfield on the oil crisis:   A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.  Well, there's a very simple answer.:

 

Nobody bothered to check the oil.
 We just didn't know we were getting low.
 The reason for that is purely geographical.
 Our OIL is located in: ~~~ ALASKA ~~~ California ~~~ Coastal Florida ~~~ Coastal Louisiana ~~~ Wyoming ~~~ Utah ~~~ Kansas ~~~ Oklahoma ~~~Pennsylvania and Texas ~~~ , and ...

Our dipsticks are located in DC.   Any Questions?   NO?...Didn't think so. 

Proof:

Climate Change: For Congress, it's become a matter of near-religious faith that we should spend whatever is needed to curb global warming. A new study suggests that the amounts needed will be staggering.  (Investors Business Daily, hat tip Steve T. at Common Cents )

Democrats in Congress are touting a new National Intelligence Assessment — created by the CIA and other agencies solely at the behest of Congress — that suggests global warming is a grave national security threat.

Pardon us if we laugh, but these new intelligence reports deserve little, if any, credence. They are politically motivated documents, put out by the spy agencies just to get Congress off their backs.  [snip] 

This one, by the well-respected McKinsey Global Institute, suggests the economic costs of meeting global warming targets will be enormous. In sum, the world will have to boost its energy productivity — or efficiency — by a factor of 10 by 2050 in order to pay for global warming and maintain our standard of living.

Let's put that into perspective. Today, McKinsey notes, we produce about $740 of GDP for each ton of CO2 we emit. To cut global warming emissions 72% by 2050, as some want, we'll have to produce $7,300 of GDP per ton of C02 emitted.  (Investors Business Daily)

From There's My Two Cents:

Eight inches of hail in Nebraska?  More evidence for global warming, undoubtedly.  Some think we're on a global warming bubble, and that Americans aren't going to put up with it much longer, especially as the nonsense infringes upon their lives and pocketbooks more and more.  That would be fine with me: let it burst!

I think that is correct - people are getting fed up with being forced to conform to something they don't believe even exists.  The following image by Michael Ramirez at Investors Business Daily.

This gets better and better.

Now I've got to think of one for myself, hubby may have some more guitars he wants to buy, ha.

My fellow blogger, Misfit, had an even better idea: Set up a fake "envie su dinero a Mexico" store where illegals come to send money home. We simply keep their money and give them a receipt.

Who are they going to complain to? The police?

I love this post - the dipstick bit is awesome (sadly too true)! Thanks for the link, too! :)

That's it! Carbon credit offset certificates on eBay! It lets AlGore run up a carbon footprint the size of Califorlornia, and gets him all kinds of bogus awards for some of the most blatant hypocrisy the 21st Century has ever seen! Liberals is soooooo stupid...

You are right. The dipsticks are in D.C. and it looks like they are comfortable being just that too.

Pretty sad Debbie isn't it?

Steve:

What a great idea, why didn't I think of it. You can fund your retirement from the sales, ha.

PT Barnum said something to the effect that people are morons.

I am seriously thinking about selling "Carbon Credit Certificates" on Ebay @ 5 bucks per credit but will only sell in units no less than $100.

How many takers do you think I'd be able to rope in? After all, I am being honest - buy carbon credit certificates from me, only $5 per credit.
