Declaration of Energy Independence

Well, Madame's one of the few out their who has the energy to write about energy independence while also taking time to encourage Americans to continue to fight to "Kill the Bill". When the Great Opologizer calls for a ban on offshore drilling, you know that Madame is going to unleash the pit bull inside of her. Madame referenced her earlier post about the Obama administration sending money for offshore drilling in Brazil. That was a fun one; I also had fun with my post back in the day.

Madame made this all about jobs though. That's a 3 letter word,right VP Hair Plugs? Madame suggested showed some research that more than 1 million jobs could be created if the ban on offshore drilling. Wow. The Great Opologizer needs to know that you don't need to spend nearly a billion dollars to "save/create" jobs. I still can't figure out how millions of jobs can be created or saved if the unemployment rate is still hovering about 10%. The White House computers must have a corrupted version of excel.

Madame called the President to listen to the America. You would think that with his ears, that would be able to listen to the America people. Sigh. However, as always, Madame ends with optimism. She doesn't right "lifting American spirits" on her hand for nothing:

America, we must resolve to stay engaged in what our politicians are doing. Don’t get tired and give up. All political power is inherent in the people. America can only be transformed into something unrecognizable if we get so tired that we give up our political power and close our eyes to what is going on. Find the energy to stand for what you know is right, including supporting leaders who don’t engage in energy policy doublespeak.
