Stevens Indicted on Corruption Charges, Bush Still Hopeful.
Republican Senator Ted Stevens was indicted yesterday on seven counts of corruption. According to the DOJ, “the indictment charges that while he was sitting as a United States senator between 1999 and 2006, Senator Stevens accepted gifts from a privately held company, known as VECO… an oil field services company.”
An oil company giving gifts to one of the nation’s biggest advocates for drilling in the Arctic Refuge?
While the Grand Jury was in Washington indicting Stevens, President Bush (presumably still hoping to get his own Viking gas grill) was in Ohio, telling the good employees of Lincoln Welding that “In Alaska, in a very small part of that grand state, is the potential to find a lot of oil and gas… and yet, the Congress refuses to allow for there to be exploration in — in this part of the world. And they need to change the law”.
Maybe someone should have told President Bush that the game was up.
Clearly we the international people must leave no stone unturned in the quest for underground tar. Laws are barriers without logic or grounds, just put there to keep the poor people in line.
On a cheerier, but somehow wrong segway

you burn the oil, it sticks to a wall and then somebody selectively cleans it, to entertain other humans. ah, humans. But pretty stuff humans.
