George Bush must have really loved the cult classic Total Recall. I mean how else can you explain his persistent unwillingness to make responsible decisions when it comes to the environment. He must really get turned on by watching his home boy Arnie (say it again....C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A) run around Mars with half-alien/half-mutant revolutionaries. I mean forget the environment...we all can live in caves!!! SHEEZ!

That's the only way can I can explain his latest move to lift the moratorium on drilling in Alaska. Well other than the fact that his people in the oil industry are gonna get a whole lot of guap (translation for non hip-hop speakers: MONEY) if we ever start digging through the not so frozen tundra again.

But you can't really place all the blame for this backward (hmm...more like insane) move on Bush. There are still millions of Americans who forget that they can park their SUV and walk four blocks to get their hot lattes.

And I am not trying to make fun of latte drinkers who don't like to walk, cause I haven't completely broken my driving addiction yet. But at some point us consumers are going to have to be intentional about bringing the demand side of the oil *uckery down to a reasonable level. Otherwise greedy politicians like Bush will continue to have a justification to drill for oil in places like Alaska.
