Hmm, if we could make oil from killing babies, I wonder if that would be acceptable, too...

Bah, Humbug! Why do those Republicans continue to flaunt their complete ignorance? There has to be more to it that greed for profit. They have to be just plain stupid!

I'm embarrassed to admit it took me a couple of seconds to figure out what was wrong with this. New England girl, you know.

Someone needs to explain to Governor Perry the meaning of these Canadian patriotic lines:

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side,
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield them never!
Our watchword evermore shall be
"The Maple Leaf forever!"

The perils of not engaging brain fully before speaking. If you add one little word what he said makes sense, without it, he is an ignorant boob.

"...a barrel of oil that we don't have to buy for a HOSTILE foreign source."

Because I do like to think of Canadians as friends, myself.

Lordy, open mouth and put foot in BEFORE even THINKING of engaging brain.
