So what we'd be poking the countries that hate us with a stick. We should sue Pelosi, Reid, and all the other Dems and RINOs who keep blocking domestic oil production.

Do these people truly have any intelligence?

"They need to have a course in college called common sense and everyone should take it. Problem is there isn't too many people that could pass or teach it." -my grandfather

Hear that? That tremolo you hear is the sound of the entire world laughing at our concept of frivolous litigation.
Booker T. Washington put it quite clearly; a ship with a crew dying of thirst and in need of water need only "cast down their buckets where they are," and I expect OPEC will produce the same response, to the tune of: "Dear Mrs. Pelozi et. al. Before engaging in such a premature lawsuit, may we remind you that you are sitting on 3 trillion barrels of oil in oil shales in what you refer to as Kentucky and Alaska. Naturally, we may be forced to sue your country for stifling the oil market. However, if you cease and desist with this lawsuit, we will drop any thought of this altogether. Regards, OPEC."

It is difficult to hold in my contempt for congress.  There aren't more than five or six that could even find their butts with both hands.

They are so arrogant and condescending.  They believe that OPEC will pay attention to a law suit because it is filed by an AMERICAN.  Oooh that'll scare them into increasing production.  The spend so much time trying to fix problems that they created themselves but blame on everyone else.

Right now "Oil Company Executives" are up on Capital Hill testifying before congress on what Government can do to help ease the high price of oil and gasoline when only two days ago they voted down a bill that would allow drilling in ANWR and in coastal areas of the US. 

The US population in general must be really really stupid to think that government could ever solve a single problem. 

I think we should have a ten year moratorium on new laws and spend that time on repealing old laws.

Since government is coercion, politics is largely the exercise of deception regarding the intended use of coercion - George Orwell

What court would have jurisdiction over any of these foreign dictators who sell us oil, anyway?? And if regulators have jurisdiction over US petroleum speculators (a more likely legal scenario, IMO) it's a good thing they're paying such close attention to explaining this! Or this.

Way to go, Chuckie.

In what court would Congress have the Justice Dept. sue OPEC? The Supreme Court doesn't have jurisdiction so that leaves the World Court. If the World Court hears the case (unlikely) and if it rules against OPEC (and that's a very big IF), who's going to enforce the ruling? All that this would accomplish is to prove to the world what a joke our Congress has become (as if it hasn't already).

There's the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you." Before Congress goes thru with this, it should think about where we're going to our oil from next and how much more we're going to have to pay for it.

Drill here and drill now and then tell OPEC to take a hike.

I'm not sure "saber rattling" is the appropriate term here.

It's more like a gentle finger poke before they run for cover.

Mark McKinnon says he's leaving the McCain campaign because he doesn't want to work against Obama. That seems odd reasoning because many don't think McCain wants to work against Obama either.

This judge has been saying all sorts of things the community doesn't like, and has hidden behind the "I can say anything because we have free speech" excuse.

Well, the voters gave him the bum's rush. They exercised their free speech. And this is a perfect reason not to have life tenure. Hear that, Mass and Calif supreme courts? We don't like what you're doing to our country.

Smiling Obama, Frowning McCain.  Typical.

Google's probably even worse.

At 11:07AM EDT on NBC's Today show, Kathy Lee Gifford asks Hoda Kotb if the Media is on the side of Obama.  Kotb replies "No, I don't see it."

A more stunning example of cognitive bias I have yet to see.  I nearly lost my breakfast on the keyboard.

RRAM Tough! 

I wonder why the press is not publicising this memo from the Department of Transportation (Excerpt follows):

Dept of Transportation Federal Transit Administration sends:

Recently, there have been local incidents in which military personnel have been verbally assaulted while commuting on the Metro. Uniformed members have been approached by individuals expressing themselves as anti-government, shouting anti-war sentiments, and using racial slurs against minorities.

Obvious signs that the left is spiraling down into the bad old days of the 1970's again. 

Only THIS TIME, we will fight back.

This is nothing more than smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that we have not drilled for oil and built new refineries. How absurd to even bring this up! We will not drill in Anwar but we'll press others to produce more oil?

Will Congress sue themselves for tying our hands in drilling for more oil?

CLOWNS!! 

Cluelessly? I've reported, so you decide, but I sure think so...

4 Jan 2007 - 21 May 2008

Or 503 days since Gasbag Pelosi promised that she had a "commonsense plan" to reduce US gas prices. No sign of the plan, no sign of the reductions.

Washington, DC, May 8, 2008. Congressman Wally Herger today called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to reveal her “commonsense plan” to lower gas prices, which she promised in 2006. Gas prices have risen by about $1.30 since Speaker Pelosi took power on January 4, 2007 promising a plan. Prices for regular unleaded have hit $4 in some parts of Northern California. Herger issued the following statement about the $1.30 “Pelosi Premium.”

From Congress today some more examples of Democrat thinking -- and I use thinking in its broadest sense, not to imply any intelligence deployed. These are up there with Obama's marvelous plans for US foreign policy

#1. Bring law-suit against OPEC -- ha ha, now that's funny.

#2. Berate and threaten executives of MULTI-NATIONAL OIL COMPANIES with assets all over the world. Yep, another sure fired way to help.

#3. Make illegal the laws of supply and demand. (Okay I made that one up, but really, it's not that far fetched for Democrats who know more about Marx than markets)

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

When will they sue bin Laden?

JDW

If you mention ANWR it means you don't care about the environment but when congress says ANWR it means you don't care about the gasoline prices

We don't pay any attention to a bunch of westerners who cannot even control their own country's immigration. By Allah, we cut of  the ehads of thos e we do not want in our countries.  If it looks like an international court is leaning toward the USA, we will CUT production in half. We will go sit in our properties we own in England and America until it blows over.

(If the AC goes off, we will bring in barrels of our own oil and switch to our UPS system.)

Q. Is Panamanian born John McCain a "Natural Born Citizen"

I think it would be approriate for Nancy Grace to lead the legal team that will sue OPEC.  I would be highly entertaining.
