AMERICA'S GRAND PLAN TO SOLVE THE OIL CRISIS: SUE OPEC

I wish I was joking. But I'm not.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved legislation on Tuesday allowing the Justice Department to sue OPEC members for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices, but the White House threatened to veto the measure.

The bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that U.S. companies must follow.

The legislation also creates a Justice Department task force to aggressively investigate gasoline price gouging and energy market manipulation.
If you're dumb enough to think this legislation will fix anything, please do not come to this blog anymore.

Meanwhile, while the retards running this country draft lawsuits...
While Washington dithers over exploiting oil and gas reserves off the coast of Florida, China has seized the opportunity to gobble up these deposits, which run throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and along the U.S. Gulf coast.

The Chinese have forged a deal with Cuban leader Fidel Castro to explore and tap into massive oil reserves almost within sight of Key West, Florida. At the same time, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who controls the largest oil reserves in the Western Hemisphere, is making deals to sell his country’s oil to China, oil that is currently coming to the United States.

There are new reports out circulating that Chinese firms are planning to slant drill off the Cuban coast near the Florida Straits, tapping into U.S. oil reserves that are estimated at 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels.
I should point out that the above snippet was from two years ago. China is two years into the process of slant drilling America's oil reserves. I reckon we'll sue them too.

NARCOTIC SUBMARINES POSE NEW CHALLENGE FOR US COAST GUARD

Is it just me, or is anyone else worried more about other things arriving by submarine? Things like this occur everyday, but thanks to Obama and his hate-filled wife, our national dialog is wasted on race problems that don't even exist.

The first time they found one, authorities dubbed it "Big Foot." They had heard rumors that such things existed, but nobody had actually seen one.

It was late 2006, and Big Foot was not lurking in a forest, but at sea, 90 miles (145 kilometers) southwest of Costa Rica. And it was not an ape-like creature, but a hulking, blue vessel resembling a submarine and carrying several tons of cocaine.

Authorities say they are detecting more and more seacraft like Big Foot -- known as self-propelled semi-submersibles -- carrying larger and larger loads of drugs.

Chugging around the southern curve of Central America and up towards the United States, they have formed a kind of illicit fleet and become a major drug trafficking tool.

"It's significant. We believe they can carry upwards of eight or 10 tons of cocaine," said Rear Admiral Joseph Nimmich, director of the Joint Interagency Task Force South in Key West, Florida, where military and government agencies track drug shipments.

Experts estimate 25 to 40 semi-subs left South America last year laden with cocaine, and they expect that figure to double in 2008.
It goes without saying that if 8-10 tons of cocaine can be smuggled in on one of these things, more dangerous items can too. My thoughts are, either the dolphins get busy helping us out, or we take them off the protected species list.
