Even with the oil leak seemingly capped the dreadful consequences of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico garner universal disgust. In fact, so abhorent and disgusting have the images coming from the gulf been that one cannot help but be angry on some level. Let us use our ability to reason to direct our anger in the proper direction. Below is the link to a story written by National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg. It was written after he made a trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in 2001. Unlike 99.99% of all others that leave their carbon footprints while insisting on legislation that has pushed so many drilling rigs into 5,000 feet of water, Goldberg actually took the time to visit ANWR. If you are wondering about ANWR and why we should be pumping oil there instead of into the gulf click here for the archived report of his findings:

Yep - ironic that the environmentalists who "claim" to be so concerned about the environment are the very ones that have lobbied, bribed and sued our country into the situation where we can't utilize our resources. The spill can be directly put on the shoulders of the enviros locking up our on-shore oil resources.
