This is meant as a tip of the hat, as it were, to U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken who ruled against oil and gas drilling that was being pushed by Bush and his cronies off the central California coast Friday. You can read about the rest of the story here.
I'm posting about this partly because of some of the truly obnoxious comments I read in response to this story from The Free Republic web site. I've never heard of these people - I just happened to come across them from doing a Google search. I have no idea who is bankrolling or otherwise supporting The Free Republic, but it's obvious from the comments that their readership is right wing, ultra-right wing, and flat-out nuts.
Oh, so you blame rulings from so-called "activist judges" as Wilken as the reason for high gas prices? If so, then I should have saved my "Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest" post for you instead.
You have fallen for a typical Bushco scam, which is to make themselves and their cronys in the energy business rich(er) at our expense. And if they still hold the reins of power after they have squeezed the last drop of black gold out of the ground (God help us), the commenters on this page will still be trying to blame "Clinton and the liberals" for it. Screaming about outrageous prices for gas without holding the cabal running our government accountable is the height of idiocy.
