 SK>> I hear that the Tea Bag types are already saying that
 SK>> "Obama had the oil rig destroyed!". So as to manipulate the
 SK>> drilling issue, I guess.

 LL> Now why would oil companies do a damfool thing like blowing up
 LL> an oil rig? Well, pending legislation concerning climate change

 LL> get pending legislation trashed, oil industry continues to
 LL> drill for oil as if nothing has happened.

 LL> "The Challenger accident was heartbreaking but we went back
