The Politics of Oil
Author: BobR
Date: 07/18/2008 12:44:09
The Republicans have been screaming lately about how important it is to allow offshore drilling. We buy too much oil from foreign countries, they say. Drilling offshore and in the ANWR would help lower gas prices. It's all about supply and demand.
Oh really?
The last issue is simple enough to address. Is there a gas shortage? There certainly was in the 70's. We had lines at gas stations, and some were running out of gas. After hurricane Katrina disrupted the underground pipes that deliver gas from New Orleans to Atlanta, we experienced a temporary shortage, with long lines at the pumps and prices temporarily spiking.
Have we seen any lines at the pump?.... Seen any gas stations running out?....
No.
That's because there really IS no shortage. The spike in gas prices is based on a spike in raw petrol prices caused by a spike in oil futures prices in the commodities market based on greed and speculation.
So why is there so much talk of drilling offshore? Because it's politically expedient. Like taking off one's shoes at the airport is Security Theatre, this is Gas Price Solution Theatre. It's meant to give the illusion that the Republicans are trying to do something about oil prices, but the Democrats are preventing them from saving the country.
Yesterday, in a move completely ignored by the media, the Democrats showed just how hollow the Republicans are with regards to drilling. They introduced the Drill Responsibly in Leased Lands (DRILL) Act, H.R. 6515, the goal of which is as follows (from Nancy Pelosi's website):
Notice the first item? it says the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A). Ignorant though I may be, I was not aware this existed. Apparently, we already have land set aside for drilling. So why do they want to drill in the ANWR? Does it have more oil?
No - the NPR-A has MORE oil than ANWR, is land that is already set aside for drilling, and is already 14% leased. That means that there's 86% of the land open for leasing and drilling by any oil company that wants to. I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to unless they figure that it's more profitable to not glut the oil market with extra oil.
The other provisions of the act would force oil companies to "use it or lose it", regarding existing leases for drilling. This would force oil companies to drill the land they already have leased, or lose the leases. Again - why aren't they drilling if they have leases? You already know the answer.
The DRILL Act would be a REAL solution to the problem, suggested by the Democrats. That's two strikes against it in the eyes of the Republicans, so naturally they are against it. The measure failed to reach a 2/3 majority vote, although it was still fairly close at 244-173, generally along party lines. In another textbook example of "projection", the Republicans attacked the Dems:
More lies, more politics, less leadership... Is this the new platform for the Republicans?
To provide more evidence that the Democrats are trying to provide a REAL solution instead of Republican political theatre, Alternet offers The Three Biggest Myths About Offshore Drilling:
If you have an hour and a half to kill, you can watch the House proceedings yesterday, thanks to C-SPAN. The twisted rationale and outright stupidity and posturing by the Republicans is in stark contrast to the Dems logical commonsense approach.
For a much shorter bit of amusement, however, here's Larry Craig telling us we shouldn't let foreigners "jerk us around by the gas nozzle"... :D
It's way past time to put the offshore and ANWR drilling myths to bed. The oil companies already have leases they aren't using, and there is land in Alaska already lined up for leasing. It's time for them to put up or shut up.

- speeding the development of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) by requiring the Secretary of Interior to offer at least one lease sale annually in the NPR-A.
- reinstating a ban on the foreign export of Alaskan oil.
- incorporating the ‘Use It or Lose It’ legislation, which simply requires oil producers to drill on the leases they already have or relinquish them so that another company can produce the oil there.
- calling on the President to use the powers of his office to facilitate the completion of oil pipelines into the NPR-A and to facilitate the construction of a Alaska natural gas pipeline to the continental United States to move the product to market.

Republicans accused Democrats of again playing political games, saying the use of the suspension calendar was “all lip service, no leadership.”
"Another week has come and gone without the Democrat Congress taking action to lower gas prices,” Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam (R-Fla.) said in a statement. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “insists on pursuing a purely political strategy on the floor of the House of Representatives, record gas prices continue to soak family budgets and leave municipalities in dire straits,” Putnam said.
More lies, more politics, less leadership... Is this the new platform for the Republicans?
To provide more evidence that the Democrats are trying to provide a REAL solution instead of Republican political theatre, Alternet offers The Three Biggest Myths About Offshore Drilling:
- MYTH #1 -- 'DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, PAY LESS'
- MYTH #2 -- CHINA ON OUR COASTS
- MYTH #3 -- 'NOT A DROP WAS SPILLED'

Things that are NOT ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

Good morning 4F!
Great post, when will the LIP's (low information people) wake the F up!
I am sad to hear of your G-ma passing Clinster.
My grandparents still live through me, the things they shared in life, the thing they taught me, the example they offered - never dies.
Tradition and family stories live on through the generations.

If birth and death are two states of the same being, it seems odd we would celebrate the one and mourn the other but new life is hope and passing is a reflection of time passed.

Ah, capt.....
You hit the nail on the head there about our forebears....
I'm playing my grandpa's horn; he's with me every time a blow a note through that thing.
And every major holiday when I'm baking the traditional Italian things, I can't help but think that in every Italian household in the world, there's somebody doing exactly the same thing. My mother taught me that stuff...but she learned at my grandma's knee...

Great post BobR - the topic is SO FRUSTRATING...
I only hope that voters will see through the Republican gimics and political game-playing as they did with the gas tax holiday. But it does worry me.
One piece of solid evidence that drilling in ANWAR will NOT lower gas prices - I believe proponents say that drilling there will increase production by 200,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
A few weeks ago, OPEC increased its output by 200,000 barrels per day.
Anyone see a decrease in gas prices? ... Anyone?... Bueller?

Don't know if this was posted on the blog yesterday...
:clap:
For clues about who might be next to get a show on MSNBC, viewers need not have looked further than “Countdown” earlier this month. For eight nights beginning just before the Fourth of July, Rachel Maddow, the host of a program on Air America, the liberal talk-radio network, served as a substitute for the vacationing Keith Olbermann.
“At some point, I don’t know when, she should have a show,” said Phil Griffin, hours before he was promoted on Wednesday to president of MSNBC. “She’s on the short list. It’s a very short list. She’s at the top.”
At the moment every slot at night on MSNBC is taken, with David Gregory at 6 handing off to Chris Matthews at 7, and with Dan Abrams at 9 following Mr. Olbermann at 8. But some shuffling could be in the offing; Mr. Matthews’s contract, for example, is up next year.
For her part, Ms. Maddow, who has been a ubiquitous presence as a political analyst on MSNBC this campaign season, said she is ready whenever the call should come. To hasten that process, she recently hired Mr. Olbermann’s agent, Jean Sage.

I play guitar and keyboards. I played in an 80's band (in the 80's, natch), and a 90's band in the early 90's (funny how that works).
Tuesday night I participated in an Open Mic Night at a local pub, which was the first time I played "live" in about 15 years... I was VERY nervous
, but I think I did okay...

Very cool! I was thinking trumpet or saxophone. I think you mentioned playing "lead" a few weeks back - perhaps why I couldn't figure out which. (Although, the trombone section has a "lead" too... me - I was the low point... bass trombone...)

Tri - I've always meant to ask this, but didn't want to seem stupid - or that I just missed it (which I obviously am, and did!) - so here goes... what instrument(s) do you play?
(musician here too)
Third generation, actually. My father and both grandfathers were pros; my great-grandfather played valve trombone as an amateur in a North End marching band about 80 years ago now....
Although I'm a hack; I was in a big band last year, but it dissolved. Looking to get into a group at the school again in the fall.

Well, except for Bob then, we have enough for a wee jazz combo? 
Anyone play drums?
Aside to Bob: Weeks ago (months?) when I was working on the "Rhythm" changes in all keys, you had asked why I would learn a tune in another key signature....
For some horn players, the original key signature is often too high or too low, or out of the range of a particular instrument, and it might make sense to transpose up or down to make it 'easier' to play. The rest of the group would also have to correspondingly transpose their parts so the harmony stays intact. ("Blue Bossa" being an example...I could never play it as written, so it was helpful to move it down a third so I could hit all the notes. I can reach the high A now...)
Or, you could be out on a gig, and a band leader being a putz might call for "Scrapple from the Apple" in D flat minor, or something. You better know how to play that...

Yeah, I get that. For someone like me that plays their own music or "rock", the transpose issue is not really a problem. It's really easy on guitar anyway, you just slide up or down a few frets (or slap on a capo). Keyboards, however, are more of a challenge.

Whelp, Johnny Wendell wrote me back... <_<. For those that were not around, I wrote a letter to him, regarding his seeing a woman at the store using food stamdp. This is the letter:
HEre is his response.
You were very very wrong today filling in for Randi
VERY wrong. you made assumptions ALL over the place about the woman in front of you at the grocery store.
WIC and Food Stamps are two different programs. Food stamps have nothing to do with welfare, and... BTW... welfare -- abolished during the Clinton Administration -- is now workfare.
For the last hour of the show, according to what you think you saw at a grocery store... you were outraged... a woman used food stamps while talking on an iPhone. You lamented the *Welfare State in America* was supposed to go away.
You are aware that the phrase *welfare state* is a Right wing catch phrase --- right? You perpetuated a stigma to all american's who DO NOT WANT to be on government hep. but NEED it. You perpetuated a stigma. You shamed people with your assumptions. That is not the progressive way. That is what the Right Wing Radio people do.
You went on to advocate for the abolition of food stamps. I heard you allude that people would be tempted to *sell them for drugs*
Food stamps are NOT just for the poverty stricken. Foster PArents... regardless of income status get Food stamps...
Food stamps are for people who need help. You forget to understand that we have WIC offices on our military bases...
You ASSUMED she had expensive manicures, Yopu decided in you own POV that she should sell her car. You told us that you knew what they were talking about, becuase you understand spanish.... Do you not understand how racist this sounds? Not just racist, but also elitist.
Assuming the older woman with this woman of being an Abuela... How the hell do you call yourself a progressive by invoking such presumptuous talk?
I listeneed to you today, and when at the end, you quoted Richard Nixon and attacked Section 8 Housing. I had to wonder where the hell have you been?
I listened to you filling on for Malloy and many of my favorite hosts... but you lost me today.
Peace, and Love,
Raine

Widespread welfare - food stamps and especially WIC fraud is a straw man - the stats don't support the claim.
There are actually very low numbers of fraud. There are many safeguards built into the system and Johnny is a college level radio host - what he is doing on national radio is beyond me.
His whole premise is based on his anecdotal experience at the corner store. Why would anybody even try to peddle that as "progressive talk radio" - it is a shame.
I vote with my patronage and will not listen to his show.

I used to have a good friend that worked for DCF. And, trust me it was hard to not make "Wendell_esque" assumptions. I would ask her "Well, why do the kids have Nintendo when the family can't afford food?" It took her really educating me about situations/mindsets that I knew nothing about it, before I got it.
Are there people that "game the system?" Absolutely!
But, there are a lot of families that don't! And, it takes real observation and knowledge of each situation to make the distinction.
Johnny Wendell? Do you know what happens when you ASS-UME?

There's a guy who lives in my condo complex. He's about my age, I think. He drives a brand new Subaru wagon, has a nice mountain bike, his condo is decorated really nicely. I NEVER see him go to work. Ever. So, I can assume he's a trust fund baby or something. The truth is I have NO IDEA. Maybe he is disabled, somehow. Maybe he has a home office. Maybe he won the Lotto.

One of the reasons Johnny struck a nerve in me is that after being a foster kid I went on to help set up some group homes. We ended up starting 3, one for runaway girls, one for infants and toddlers and one that was mixed.
The WIC is so important for both the mothers and childrens nutrition it makes me a little angry when Johnny sees that as stealing. . .
Well, you know I am blah blah blahing . . .

I saw all 6 Star Wars movies on opening day (going back to 1977...) but would never imagine showing up in costume.
Although I have worn "command gold" to several Trek Conventions. (Which I no longer attend.)

I dressed up in Bowie garb (Alladin Sane like) to go to the Diamond Dogs concert.
Never got costumed for a movie.
I did see the first Star Wars opening - that was a few years ago, eh?
Wow - time flys when decades can be months.

I think the only movie I saw on opening day in recent years is The Simpsons movie. I usually wait until the crowd thins out a bit before going. Hell, there have been enough movies that I missed in theaters and didn't see until they were on video or the pay channels.

Let's see here.. saw all three LoTR movies, the two most recent Potter flicks, Star Wars Eps. 2 & 3 on opening day..
It's nice to see a bunch of decent movies coming out all at the same time. Then again, it's probably just the movie industry's way of saying "here's some good movies for a change - go see them in the theater so we can make some REAL money!"

I went to the 5th Star Wars movie (Prequel #2) on opening day. In fact - our whole office did (as a "team building exercise"). I think I would've been more entertained staying at work... :rolleyes2:
Somewhere in a box I still have a Star Trek uniform patch (perhaps the same thing you are referring to?). A group of us in high school were complete Star Trek geeks.
One day we all agreed we'd wear our Star Trek uniforms to school the next day. The next day, only one guy actually he did it... and did it all the way (including a phaser on his black belt). Since he didn't have a change of clothes, he was ridiculed mercilessly all day long... :rofl:

I'm afraid that what you MAY see in the future is not a gasoline shortage, but a shortage of places that sell gasoline, what with Exxon/Mobil getting out of the gas station business as they can't make enough money (for them) off of it. They'd rather just drop the fuel off and let the vendor worry about paying for it the moment it's delivered so they get their profit RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!

Definitely, call whatever local affiliate that carries his "show" and please express your displeasure. They may give you the brush-off, but let them at least know that autism is not a behavioral problem but an actual affliction.

I get so mad about Savage and his ilk.
YES - letters, phone calls, emails, petition.
I used to just ignore that freak but this was the straw that broke my camels back -
Savage and his brand of hate speech has to be put in check. If I could be a censor (which I generally hate) I would censor Savage.

good point... *ush and the GOP protesters, should be happy then, if it it does work. Nothing else with his name attached to it does.
SO...
It's a TRUE memorial to all that Dubya has done.... They honor all the things that *ush has done, like make shit palatable to Americans. That should please the GOP. right?

If the sewage treatment plant WORKS it is inappropriate and a non-sequitur. . .

His reverse "Midas touch" seems to demand something to do with sewage.
In the end it will probably smell better than anything else he has touched.

Saw it. Thank you, to you and UC.
I'm probably going to send a test blog to you guys tomorrow to see what you think. Then we can figure out when to publish f'reals.

Riiiiight. And you go to fucking Iraq surrounded by tanks and gunships.
Bastid. Well, here's to hoping the "Straight Sucking Express" loses a wheel and careens off this bridge.

BTW, I don't have cable; does anyone know if there is a place to see/download "Countdown's" Worst Person In The World clips on a nightly basis? I know it's pretty regular on C&L, but I want to make sure I see if Keith tears Savage a new one tonight. Frankly, I think it's deserving of a Special Comment; however, I'll be satisfied if he "only" makes Weiner WPITW and does it in a VERY serious moment.

Back from work............
May I just add my 2 cents: John McCain is a bloated, senile, ASS.
As for Savage......... I can't say what I think, for the internets police might fine me.

evening from the midwestern headquarters of yours truly. Home again home again jiggity jig.
The daddy-o is walking around at the hospital, and was feeling well enuf at 6:45 this morning to call his own cell phone (waking up my mom) in order to:
CHECK HIS VOICE MAIL.
Yep. That's my dad.
So thanks for all the good wishes and vibes. Sis will be there with the mom till dad heads for home early next week.
Meanwhile, in other news, John McCain is still an *ss, and DC is still the bombcity!
That is all.
