Socialize….. (Ooops! almost gave myself away) eh…… what I mean is……. it’s about…….. eh……….. We’re gonna take it from you!

Only LA can send a moron like Aunt Esther here to Congress. Nationalizing the oil industry, how Hugo Chavez of her. The result of that brilliant plan would be the loss of thousands of jobs in the oil industry, millions of dollars in lost money by investors, many middle class workers with oil companies in their retirement plans, and the continued dependence of oil in our society.

I don’t have a high opinion of the oil companies either, but it did give me some pleasure to listen to the execs hammer that Congressional panel for their incompetence on this issue in how they have contributed to this problem by blocking drilling within our own borders.
