1 Hey, Al Gore!!  How's my ass taste?

2 Wait a minute- you mean to say that drilling off the shore of a state will result in large amounts of money pouring into the coffers of said state?

What a bizarre concept- does anyone else know about this? This could really be a good thing...

So CA finally worked up the courage to kneel down and suck Exxon's dick?  Swallow it hard, CA!!!  It may be the one thing to save your sorry broke ass.

It's about time.

If these silly drilling bans aren't a perfect example of how government is the problem more often than the solution, I don't know how else we can show it.

I sound like a broken record, but the GOP's best bet is to go after the hard hats. Forget pandering to hispanics. Pander to the taxpaying class of people who work hard and play by the rules and keep getting screwed by their government and union leadership.

{I hope it appropriate to post this long piece here.  I actually wrote this earlier today.  It's on topic and I'd appreciate feedback as I try to develop my writing for future endeavors.} 

 

Being a conservative definitely has its frustrations.  But they don't come because our beliefs, when followed, fail.  Our frustrations are usually because libos continue to fight against reality, common sense, and the laws of economics while chipping away at the American exceptionalism. 

We often think it must be easier on the left.  After all, the media, Hollywood, the world all love leftists.  Basking in the glow of adulation 24/7 can't be all bad.  Still, the libos have to deal with something true principled conservatism will never face...the blowback of unintended consequences. 

Yes, months ago, many of us on this very blog site were frothing, foaming, bemoaning, and cursing the passing of the Porkulus bill.  Rightly so.  Just because we know they will fail if enacted, we shouldn't just let this leftist push go. But, today, Porkulus is quickly becoming the anchor B to the O and his team will have to drag around for the remainder of his presidency.  An anchor which could quite possibly lead to strong R gains in 2010.  The fury is growing on the left...they got everything they want, but it may cost them much of what they have. 

Now, consider what may become the mother of all unintended consequences.  It's probably worth a doctoral thesis, so no stealing my idea, but here it is in a few sentences.  For years, the libos and their allies in the enviro wacko movement have stifled all efforts to access our vast, and mostly untapped oil resources.  We've all been frustrated at the lunacy of paying countries who hate us billions of dollars each year for oil when our own reserves lie under-utilized. 

However, allow yourself to project forward 25, 50 years.  Barring major advances in alternate energy technology (technology which is still too expensive relative to oil to come to fruition), oil will remain the driving force of the world's economy.  But, supplies elsewhere will shrink and technology will start to step in.  However, that transition will likely be a long and expensive one and the engines of growth will still demand vast quantities of black gold.  Where oh where could such quantities be found? 

So, while oil remains relatively cheap, I'm revising my former chants of "drill here, drill now" to "drink there, drink now".  And, if trends continue, in a not so distant time, America will be able to stand atop vast, mostly untapped oil reserves (reserves that will be cheaper to acess than they are now), point a 12-inch middle finger skyward and say to the entire middle-east and the rest of the oil-thirsty world, "We drank your milkshake! We drank it up!" 

Oh, the richness of that irony.  The world will truly be over a barrell.  We'll be holding all cards and will generate untold wealth for Americans as the world pays our price to survive economically.  And we'll do so with a h/t to the libos and their hair-shirt friends, and of course, the law of unintended consequences. 

Will liberalism die because B to the O's disasterous policies and their unintended consequences peel the scales back from the eyes of those blinded with hopey-changey?  No.  Liberalism is a human condition more than a political movement.  But, I firmly believe, if we can stand in the gap and hold off as much as possible, what O is trying to accomplish, the tide will turn and conservatism will again rise.  We should fight tooth and nail, because American exceptionalism isn't something to apologize for or run from.  We have to fight to keep American exceptionalism and our place at the top of the world's order because we are the only ones who treat that position with respect and dignitiy it commands.  But, there is a quiet comfort knowing that even when the libos "win" eventually we'll bask in the glory of schadenfreude as reality and unintended consequences administer a beatdown to their utopian dreams once again.  We just have to stay in the game.

Huh, not sure what to say after those first few comments. Pretty much says it all. Where's lace wigs?

7 Ace, it's only a temporary fix.

The shit will hit the fan once the California State Pension Fund announces how big its shortfall is this year, at which point the state will be forced to make good on that deficit.


Their current projected deficit is $56.8 BILLION, which makes this current budget issue a drop in the bucket.

Nice to hear about the drilling, but the reality is that permits will get stalled in an unending morass of litigation from the Sierra Club, and the rest of the enviro-nazis.

42 This is not a fix, just a stop gap measure to get through the next six months. State employee pensions are very large and just the tip of the iceberg. Tax collections will be less and Democrats still are resisting all types of cuts. California's majority are just now realizing that "hope and change" will not magically deliver revenue and millions of green jobs.
Borrowing from counties is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Much deeper cuts need to follow and all State employees (management, rank & file) need to share the pain.
Don't hold your breath for any longer term fix.

I hadn't even heard of this bill. 

http://tinyurl.com/nugfpc

 Major farm groups are concerned that a bill in Congress intended to shore-up food-safety guidelines could actually make it harder for some livestock and poultry producers to guarantee safe food

 
The current version of the Food Safety Enhancement Act, sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), would give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight of livestock farms across the country, thus requiring all ranchers and farmers to meet new regulations, as dictated by the FDA.

The farm groups complained that the bill would give the FDA authority to oversee farms and set standards for livestock producers, as well as require producers to pay for inspections.
\
“The bill must contain clear legislative language ensuring that FDA is not granted the authority to regulate livestock on-farm by mandating production standards for cattlemen across the country,” Sam Ives of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association told members of the committee in testimony Thursday.
“Live animals are not ‘food’ until the point of processing, which is why this bill needs to clarify that the FDA does not have regulatory authority on our farms, ranches or feedlots,” Ives said.

The project, which was unveiled last year, enjoyed unprecedented support from many anti-oil drilling environmental organizations. Several key groups in Santa Barbara agreed to lobby for the project after reaching an agreement with the oil company, Houston-based Plains Exploration & Production. Under the deal, the company would provide money for the state and a commitment to shut down its operations countywide by 2022.

59 Oil drilling has become more safe and efficient since the problems in the 70's. It has never occurred to the "smart, educated and oh so... intelligent liberal " Californians to look at the performance of platforms and pipelines in the gulf of Mexico after the hurricanes.
Yes, I know we have earthquakes too.....
State needs billions of revenue and oil drilling in coastal areas can sure help. I live here and yes, swim in the Oceans too. California is so full of NIMBYS that we can't build power plants, expend pipelines, drill for oil. ...We can provide health care, education, welfare to a permanent underclass and 25% of Mexico's former residents...and according to liberals should raise taxes on everyone's income.

In Omaha, Nebraska we've got a 500 million dollar budget shortfall due to fire and police pensions. The good citizens decided to elect a fucking democrat that doesn't play well with others as mayor.

I agree. It's fucking stupid for us to be the ones who keep defending Wal-Mart, Exxon, etc. Fuck them. They can take care of themselves and, besides, they give big money to Democrats, so fuck 'em.

Reagan won over Democrats by effectively articulating how government was fucking them, not helping them. Reagan knew how to connect to the middle-class and showed them how the Democrats and union leaders did not have their best interests at heart.

Today, we have Republicans protecting credit card companies, insurance companies, etc. Of course the Democrats are going to use that against the Republicans!!!

The winning strategy: fuck the lobbyists, fuck the big and small interest groups. protect the working class from the wolves in government and business and the masses will love you.

83 @59: Oil drilling has become more safe and efficient since the problems in the 70's.

Indeed. You'd think that folks that truly cared about the environment would lobby to get old rigs (and power plants, for that matter) updated to the newer, cleaner, more efficient designs instead of trying to stop everything.

84 This is fine until the 9th Circuit rules that 1) you can't drill off the coast because that is bad for the environment however 2) you hav to shut down the other sites and 3) still give the government its land because, you know, we respect contracts and agreements, well, except the parts we don't like.

Remember folks, their goal is NOT to have "safe" oil drilling, but to have NO oil drilling at all.

89 You mean the harsh realities that you can't get something for nothing and that there are no Skittle Shitting Unicorns?

>>>>> Those are the worst kind.

Well, more domestic oil production is good.  The more oil we produce here, the less we have to buy from places that hate us like the Saudis.  Having said that, I hate anything that gives those spend crazy cockholsters in CA any money at all.  They bankrupted one of the richest states in the union by pandering to labor unions and illegal aliens, so now let them deal with it.  Let them cut their bloated budget, and petition the federal government to actually control the borders like it is supposed to.

Both national parties are at fault here, by the way.  Dems love cheap votes and Republicans love cheap labor.  Sometimes I think a pox on both their houses.

91 Nothing like banks refusing to honor CA IOU notes to get those drills turning.

92 Mallamutt @ 84 is exactly right.  This deal will result in LESS oil drilling, not more.

93 Legalize and tax weed. That'll be California's cash crop, and everybody will be mellow about living in a state that's going down the toilet. Dude.

Can't do that. What will the illegals do for money when they can't visit home for the weekend and bring some weed back to sell. And what will the gangs have to fight over if drugs are legal and convenient?

Seriously, I think I saw an article recently  where there are something like 500 medical marijuana boutiques in Los Angeles alone. For all intensive porposes, it is legal in CA *wink*.

idiots.

100 I guess that gallows just erected in the town square has finally started to concentrate the collective California mind , at least somewhat.
This oil drilling agreement needs to be just the beginning . California has to stop penalizing the producers in every industry . Logging , farming ,mining, fishing , construction , the list is long .I doubt it will happen because their record is less than stellar. If Californians were serious people they'd draft Victor Hanson to be their chief executive .

101 You're assuming that Steele is on our side. Considering how much of a dud he turned out to be, a real paranoid could make the case for Steele as DNC mole.

102 97 You are right. I forgot the brilliant observation by "our dear leader".
I think we should make Henry Waxman's district a test case for all of his policies. First, let make it illegal for residents to move out.....then....
1. make then give up cars or only use bicycles.
2. charge them $ 7.00 gallon for unleaded.
3. charge them a carbon tax, say $ 6,000 per year.
4. make them give up their doctor and health care, replace it with Obama care- provided by say- VA.
5. make them subject to estate tax and all taxes Obama is contemplating.
6. ensure their house or apartment is in compliance with all enviornmental codes, if not subject to fine.
If this works well, the lets extend it to all Democratic voting congressional districts in CA.

103 On a different subject, realclearpolitics has a link to an ABC article which casts serious doubt as to whether the Dems will be able to pass a gov't takeover before the Aug. recess. It's a dangerous time right now, as Rush said today, but things might be looking up.

It's all smoke & mirrors. It's a farce being played by the Democrats and the White House is in on it.

It works like this: To allay concerns of costs and quality, the Democrats will hold meetings from which they'll emerge with, "Okay, after long debate with our colleagues, we made the necessary compromises to make this bill a reality and deliver health care reform to the people."

In reality, no significant compromises or changes will have been and the bill will be the same piece of shit as t was before the phony compromises. But the so-called Blue Dogs will be able to go home and say they fixed the bill.

The worst part: The Democrat ruse will also fool a handful of Republicans into voting for the awful legislation, thus giving the Democrats a bi-partisan bill.

Conclusion: This will be a huge victory for Obama and the Democrats and the Republicans will end up eating shit.

The Democrats have the votes, morons. What they don't have is the political CYA. And that's exactly what they're working on, right now. I fear that this bill will be passed next week.

109 i would be excited, but reality has turned me into a cynic. this is a ploy by the california democrats. they just want to break this impass, and once they are beyond it they will go back and undo the drilling allowances.

110 and once they are beyond it they will go back and undo the drilling allowances.

Not if it cost Soros any money they won't.

111 I think Hollywood packing it's bags scared 'em.

112 Mayor Tony is getting pissy about his allowance from Sacramento being cut off. Looks like he might have to reopen that site asking for donations for the King of Pedophiles funeral costs

Although there are no new taxes NOW, look for them to come back next week and say they just can't see any other way after all the money sucking unions run commercials and organized protests.

Laugh all you want at California folks, we're your future.

113 Kudlow just said they solved the problem without raising taxes.  Not really, if they are going to take money from the cities then the cities will  have to get the money somehow and they will have to raise taxes.

Well, almost everywhere else on the planet is giving these wonderful incentives if you come to their state or town or city to make your movie.  Heck, look how much is being produced in Canada. 

115 "The best non holiday quaarter in apple's history" per Jim Goldman at CNBC and look Steve wasn't around. 

116 You have to hand it to Jane Wells on CNBC, no matter what she is told to say and do, like erin burnett, she somehow manages to present the truth in there among the thorns she is asked to throw out.  Ultimately she told Kudlow,  that the cities were going to have to borrow the money to give to the state and ultimately it was the taxpayers in the city who might have their taxes go up.   She said it gingerly cause Kudlow can be impossible if you disagree with him (remember his green shoots) but, to her credit, she got it passed him.   And poor steve, no wonder he prefers Greta, kidlow asked him a question and he lauded Arnold because that is what he thought and kudlow told him he was wrong cause it meant "no new taxes" but see Larrry, Steve didn't think of that cause you are the only idiot who is thinking green shoots and manipulation of the budget, pushing salaries into next year's budget, furloughing employees to three days a week and erhaps drlling are tax cuts, you Larry are alone on this one.

117 Resuming off shore oil production in CA is a big plus.  Hopefully it will be a virus that spreads elsewhere.  I'm somewhat surprized that pot wasn't 'legalized' and taxed.   That will probably be next year's election battle -- that will also raise some revenue... 

FYI, I was attending UCSB when the Santa Barbara spills occurred, which is about as close to ground zero as one gets for being close to the spill sites.   The entire episode was way overblown by the media.  I jogged the beach up to 30 minutes a day, 4 or 5 times a week while there. There surely was more oil blobs on the beach during the spills, but there were always been oil blobs on the beach from natural seepage, before and after.  Some critters got taken out by the blobs, but that happens anyway without the oil spill.  UCSBers quickly learned that mayonaise was an excellent blob remover from the bottom of the feet so you didn't end up spoiling the carpet in your apartment after a jog on the beach...   

The fine print on the CA budget is the State legislature passed the buck down to local juristitictions.  City's, counties and the like have to make the tough choices on how to really raise money, or cut salaries and/or services.  

118

I spent a couple of weeks (over Thanksgiving) out on three of those rigs off SB back in the early 90's. On the way out the crew boat skipper pointed out the oil slick from the natural seepage. When we got to the rig, the rig hands had to beat the guardrails with a baseball bat to get the sea lions off the landing deck so we could swing across on ropes.
The sea lions loved those rigs; I took dozens of photos of them. One time they all started barking, and dove in the water. A little later a school of yellow fin tuna went skipping by the rig. Pretty cool.

The platforms were the cleanest and quietest rigs I've ever been on. They are quiet because they aren't powered by generators like every other platform I've been on. Due to air pollution regulations, power is generated onshore and transmission is by a 7 mile long sea cable. The line losses would power a small city, so it's hard to see how that improves air quality.

They are clean because they don't allow the slightest amount of pollution. They even collect rainwater run off in holding tanks, and take it back onshore for processing. The didn't allow fishing off the platform, unlike the GOM, where I've enjoyed some great rig fishing.

The talk at the time was that XOM had had enough of CA, and was trying to sell their platforms. Apparently they changed their minds, or wanted too much, or no one else wanted to get involved with CA, either.
