My solution to the Keystone Pipeline [View all]

If it's going to be the answer to all our energy problems as the Republicans are saying, let's just call it the Canada/North Dakota Pipeline and save a lot of money on construction costs. Apparently, conservatives think we'll tap in wherever we want between The Great White North and Mexico, like so many rednecks stealing cable in an apartment building.

Or we can just tie it in with the last boondoggle that would take gasoline prices to less than a buck a gallon: The Great Alaska Pipeline. That petroleum IV drip is rusting from the inside out now as the crude gets shipped via supertankers across the Bering Sea to the lucrative Asian market, and just like Keystone, the taxpayers were talked into funding it.

Why is it everytime the oil companies present their collective asses to the taxpayers, we have to start applying lip gloss?
