Oil drilling a nasty national habit

~

The only thing that can save us from Obama's plans for offshore oil drilling is a giant monster from an ancient Japanese science fiction movie!

In his State of the Union address, the president explained that his vision for a clean energy future included offshore drilling, nuclear power and clean coal.

Unfortunately, that's like advocating a healthy diet based on fast-food snacking, amphetamines and low-tar cigarettes.

Soon after the wells were bored in Santa Barbara Channel, one of them blew out in January 1969, causing a massive oil slick that slimed beaches and killed birds, fish and marine mammals.

The resulting catastrophe helped spark the modern environmental movement.
