  • The Senate voted down drilling

    The Senate voted down drilling in ANWR again today. The vote was 52-48. I must say I just don't get it. We need the oil, it would be good for the economy, create jobs and affect only a small portion of a very large piece of real estate. This has always struck me as a symbolism over rationality issue. People are so hip on "protecting the environement" that they throw the facts out of the window.
