WASHINGTON, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush's announcement lifting the executive ban on drilling in protected coastal areas:

"Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil.

"The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas.

"If the President wants to bring down prices in the next two weeks, not the next two decades, he should free our oil by releasing a small portion of the more than 700 million barrels of oil we have put in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

"It's time to tell the oil industry: 'You already have millions of acres to drill. Use it or lose it.'"

SOURCE Office of the Speaker of the House


Well duh...

It seems to me that BuschCo's entire reasoning behind this maneuver is so that when the (crude) shit hit's the proverbial fan, he can point to something and blame it on the democrats who were in control of congress.

Meh.

I think that goes under Absurd News or Failed Comedic Sketches That Came True... Twice.

They are on the next page.

I have friends at this church:

Gunman fires on Unitarian congregation.

Added context:
According to church members, children from the congregation's summer theater workshop were preforming Annie the Musical when a man with long blond hair, wearing jeans and a short sleeve t-shirt walked in and fired 13 shots.

Update: just heard that said friends were okay, though they were there (their daughter was in the play).

Still, horrible.

"He was angry with his parents because they had made him go to church all his life," she told the station.

So he goes and shoots up the Universalist Unitarians, the church that is basically a club of secular humanists, the exact opposite of the church he may have attended.

The irony of an ignorant anti-religionist attacking a church that is basically a way for agnostics and atheists to get together and protect each other is not escaping me.

Well, religion IS based on our capacity for irrational wonderment in the face of the unknown coupled with humanity's knack for ongoing existential despair.

There are more twists to this guy:

Ex-wife was a Unitarian, had a restraining order put on him in 2000 for threatening to kill her then kill himself.

He targeted that church because of their devotion to liberal causes and support of the LGBT community. The story I linked to this morning (above) has been updated with more information about a manifesto found in his car and discussions with his neighbors.

He expected to die, killed by police. But liberals aren't idiots: they tackled him before he could reload.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn dies

My librarian told me I should read One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich. Bleak as fuck.

I'm glad he lived as long as he did. Survived the gulag, the cancer ward, and died at home.

I'm slightly embarrassed to say I own three of his novels and have never yet cracked one open. I attribute that to getting them each for about a buck.

However, the film adaptation of One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich (by the same name) is very good.
