Oil Man Seeks More Oil Drilling

Let's not forget that it was George W. Bush himself who to told us a few years back that we (meaning he) were "addicted" to oil. Well, when addicts get desperate for a fix, they often do irrational things. So it should come as no surprise that the Bush Administration is pushing for an end to the congressional ban on off-shore oil drilling (a ban which was, we might add, signed into law by his father). The proposal is also backed by angry old war monger John McCain and secret gay Governor Charlie Crist.
