Clicking Our Heels

A few days ago Still-President Bush lifted an executive order banning expanded oil drilling off of American coasts (originally issued by his father). Today, the Interior Department opened up 2.6 million acres of Alaskan land for "energy exploration" (that's code for ripping up the Earth to extract something crude).

And look! Oil prices are dropping already! Clearly we have causality!

Except for the fact that oil had actually begun to drop a week ago. But don't tell the man behind the curtain that.
