You conveniently demand equality to the rewarding things in life: CEO’s, politicians, generals, doctors, lawyers, and President.
But you sure are quiet when it comes to the dirty, dangerous, and backbreaking jobs of life:
-soldiers to fight and die in wars
-garbage pickup
-sewage maintenance
-firefighting
-oil and gas drilling
-coal miners
-truck driving
-building construction and road work [...]

"HOUSTON — A new group will pool Texas’ brightest minds to come up with better and safer ways of drilling and producing oil and natural gas in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, Gov. Rick Perry announced Tuesday.
The Gulf Project will focus on developing and testing current equipment as well as new technologies for [...]

WASHINGTON (June 18) — With gasoline topping a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the United States needs to increase its energy production. Democrats quickly rejected the idea.
"There is no excuse for delay," the president said [...]
I would encourage the McCain campaign to seriously consider the Governor from Louisiana for Vice President. His life trajectory, while sharing some similarities to that of Barack Obama, brought him to a VERY different set of values…Patriotic values…true American values. Consider:
* Jindal was born in Louisiana to recently arrived Punjabi Indian immigrants [...]
Freshman Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) will not attend President Barack Obama’s speaking engagement in the Tar Heel state Friday.
Hagan was invited to the event but cannot make it because her return from Afghanistan has been delayed, according to her office.

The designation was granted because the species is threatened with extinction because of shrinking sea ice. This makes it the first creature added to the endangered species list primarily because of global warming.
But the department also issued special rules designed to exempt from the law offshore oil and gas drilling in prime polar bear [...]
The pipeline Palin is backing and trying to get build….
"This spring, the state of Alaska announced that it would sue the US Fish and Wildlife Service to block the addition to the endangered species list of Alaska’s polar bears—which, if their habitat were protected, might pose an obstacle to the pipeline and other development. She [...]
5) The least dense liquid known to the author is liquid hydrogen, which at its normal boiling point, 20 K, had a density of 0.071g/cm^3. Liquid helium also has a very low density, about .125g/cm^3 (at 4 K). Excluding these remarkable materials, make a list of liquids which at 1 atm can exist at densities [...]
Carl Pope, National Executive Director of the Sierra Club thinks so. "This is by far the best first year on the environment of any president in history, including Teddy Roosevelt". His accomplishments:
Increased gas mileage standards for cars and light trucks 40 percent, from today’s 25 mpg to 35 mpg by 2016.
Blocked Bush [...]
At low pressures there is a significant difference between the densities of liquids and of gases. For example, at 1 at, the densest gas known to the author is uranium hexaflouride, which has M = 352g/mol; its normal boiling point is 56.2 C, assuming that it obeys the ideal gas law. The least [...]

President-elect Obama’s transition chief said Sunday the incoming administration is looking to reverse President Bush’s executive orders on stem cell research, oil and gas drilling and other matters.
The administration has abdicated the decades-old federal responsibility to protect native animals and plants from extinction, becoming the first not to voluntarily add a single species to the endangered species list. It has opened millions of acres of wilderness-including some of the nation’s most environmentally sensitive public lands-to logging, mining, and oil and gas drilling. [...]

Why has the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delayed (again!) the decision whether or not to place the polar bear as endangered?
When will the final decision be made? After the sell-off of leases for oil and gas drilling is complete? Or after January 20 of next year? Or never?
There has already been plenty of scientific [...]
Obama is shelving a plan announced in the final days of the Bush presidency to open much of the U.S. coast to oil and gas drilling, including 130 million acres off California’s shores from Mendocino to San Diego.
Obama’s Interior Secretary Ken Salazar put the plan on hold Tuesday while his agency conducts a 180-day [...]
I’m an experienced multipurpose mineral exploration driller. I’ve drilled all over Australia, and spent a couple of years drilling in Africa on various projects. Now i’m looking at broadening my drilling experience by getting a start on an offshore rig in the oil and gas game.
I’ve sent my resume to a few of the [...]
Democrats like to attack evil American oil companies and block them from drilling the energy deposits off our coasts. It doesn’t seem to bother Democrats that China and Cuba are finalizing plans to drill for oil in these same areas 50 miles from Key West.
Pelosi in her weekly press conference called drilling a "Republican hoax."

When Palin-ites say that she "took on" big oil, do they mean that she took big oil on as a PARTNER?
Clearly a staunch supporter of oil and gas drilling, she bought off the Alaskan electorate for 00 each and now she’s GIVING TransCanada half a billion dollar$ to build that pipeline she’s crowing about.
Wow, with [...]
