Politically Choppin: The Energy Crisis...
Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 03:39PM
The recent reprieve in gas prices has made all of us energy consuming whores otherwise known as Americans take a great big sigh of relief. I daresay the nerve that a bunch of desert countries has sitting on tons of natural resources and holding America over a barrel (a 100+ dollar barrel on top of that). I sincerely believe that is why they call it crude oil because these cave dwelling nomads are gonna shanghai all of the U.S. of A. especially those asshole SUV drivers (which personally I don't mind because they are all arrogant egotistical environment killers anyway).
Then we have good old John McCain promoting off-shore drilling to reduce our foreign independence. Well of course he wants to do some off-shore drilling; have you seen his wife? What's wrong with getting a little beach bum in the ocean and doing a little drilling if you're picking up what I am putting down. Let's just hope for her sake he doesn't pop viagra like Bob Dole or she might come out wrinkled like a California grape and walking like McCain after his stay in the Hanoi Hilton.
Then there is Barack Obama who wants to give middle class America a 1000 dollar tax cut to offset the rising price of energy. That couldn't buy you a dinner at Outback with an Escort for crying out loud (that's what I hear anyway). That might help an Amish couple buy a boat load of candles and then be set for the year, but the average American with two cars and a couple kids will burn through that faster than Heath Ledger at a blackmarket prescription medicine sale.
This though is where the real energy crisis comes into play:
As you can see above the Rip It team has definite disadvantage in size against the Shockwave squad and with the Monster patroling the middle of the lane the Rip It's are having a hard time penetrating the paint despite their team speed. The Rip It team is a small high energy team that runs on a low payroll. They are the everyman's team of energy drinks but in this situation they are in trouble, they are in a real energy crisis.
The situation is not dire though. The Rip it's have the ball with time running down and are down by two. The Shockwave are in tight man to man with excellent weak side defense. The Rip It coach calls a time-out to set up a play. The old gas and go.
The point guard speeds past his defender and drives the lane. He sucks in the two defenders in the paint and with a quick kick to corner. The forward steps back and lite's up the scoreboard by draining a three. The Rip it's win! The Rip it's win! The crowd goes crazy cause they are all hopped up on caffeine and they storm the floor. Game over.
