This article isn’t based on a letter to Voices, but on an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, 06-28-2008, concerning energy sources. The two brilliant minded Senators from Arkansas, Democrats Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, called for an “energy summit” (a one day meeting with the “best experts” on energy policy) which was to have taken place when Congress resumed its work in July. It didn’t happen and now the dolts are on vacation.  Several Senators sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, saying in the letter what even the dullest of persons should know, which is that “the rising cost of energy [is] the “most pressing” issue facing the people in their states.”

In case you missed the obvious in the article, there is a most pressing issue (their admission) and they wanted Congress to hold a summit when they returned from where, a short vacation over the Fourth of July. Don’t you dare even suggest that they should have addressed the mess that they created instead of having gone on rest and relaxation at our expense, to boot. As a matter of fact, the whole nation would be better off if that whole bunch of clowns took a permanent vacation from government.

Now their going on leave made sense. They would get to find out what the people in their states and districts would tell them about the price of gasoline. Well, duh! How brain dead are they? Haven’t they been paying attention to anything the past few months? People have been saying drill, drill,  drill and drill now. Oh no, the dull of hearing have been too busy worrying about farm bills, pork, ear marks, the war, the means to pillory the President some more, and cozying up to the less than brilliant Barack Hussein Obama who is against drilling, to take care of the trivial matters such as the lack of affordable energy. It’s all about priorities, or didn’t you know that?  Now read the following very carefully and don’t you forget it: Vacations are a priority and take precedence over trivial issues.

The discussion in the wonderful summit would be on whether to allow increased exploration and drilling or to attack energy speculators (and they do mean attack) or to concentrate on alternative energy sources. You really don’t need to be very smart to figure out what the talk, and talk and talk crowd would have done. With their past behavior relative to developing domestic crude, their solution wouldn’t have been the first item in the paragraph and that isn’t speculation given the attitude of the mental midget, Senator Harry Reid.

How many hearings and summits  will it take before the ignoramuses in Congress see the need for them to get out of the way and allow oil companies to produce energy? Of course, if the past is any indication they will never see that need because they would loose the power to dictate to us what is best for each of us since we are too dumb to know how to conduct our affairs. So all we get from them is talk, talk, and more talk that is nothing but hot air in an effort to make the public think the “all wise and all knowing”  are doing something momentous to solve the problem.

Let’s switch gears from energy to another problem the dunder-heads have created, the burgeoning medical care costs. They have all kinds of plans to solve the problem they created, which began in 1965. It has taken 43 years to get to this point in the health care mess. The crude oil dilemma began around since 1973 and thirty five years later, we are in a mess due to energy costs going sky high. But you must give the congressional poobahs credit since it has taken them eight years less to accomplish the same type fiasco with energy. And yet, people want the non-brilliant politicians to create and run a national one-payer health care program. Read that one-payer as the taxpayers with the money who will be forced to support the system or else, just as they are trying to tax oil companies to lower the cost of gasoline by spreading all the wonderful green stuff around.

But rest assured, if the energy summit had taken place, we would have known without a doubt that they talked, and talked and talked. The problem is so complex that they would need more talks, all designed to make the gullible believe that they are doing something—translation—the gullible will see how great they are and will continue to vote for them.

Here is a message for Senators Lincoln, Pryor (now add Her Planet Saving Highness Pelosi) and the reminder of the ilk, including Republicans, “Get out of the way and allow oil companies to solve the problem that you people created. It will be solved before you can close the door on the room where you would have been emitting more gaseous talk, better known as hot air.”
