Oil fight could trigger a federal shutdown

This angers me. (Not the shutdown part--if the Republicans want to be that stupid/suicidal right before the election, let them.) Democrats are now, after all these years, drawing up a plan to allow drilling in ANWR? Conservation is a fantastic moral issue. It incenses me that they're willing to compromise their morals.

It appears that when it comes down to it, people would be willing to drill for oil at their own mother's grave to save a few bucks. Conservation and environmentalism are worthy goals when people can afford them.

I'm not sayin' I feel like that, but I'm pretty sure Joe Sixpack does.
