1. $ Is Their God.... Screw Our Environment...

What a surprise! Gale Norton wants to drill in Anwar! What she does not mention is the fact that it will take years to get at the small amount of oil there, and then it will go to the highest bidder - probably Japan. And another piece of American nature is gone. Ah, Repubs - so responsible, so Christian!
