GARFIELD ON THE OIL CRISIS
YOU GOTTA LOVE GARFIELD 'S EXPLANATION --
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in:
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
Coastal Alabama
~~~~
Coastal Mississippi
~~~~
Coastal Texas
~~~
North Dakota
~~~
Wyoming
~~~
Colorado
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
~~~
And
Texas
~~~
Our dipsticks are located in DC
~~~
Any Questions?
NO? Didn't think So.

Poor Garfield, getting used and abused as part of a lame attempt at a political joke/analysis.
Whoever did this should be put in a box and mailed to Abu Dhabi!
That doesn't sound like Garfield.
So many of these RWFs use the phrase, "Gotta love it!!" which makes me think they are written by the same person and/or think tank.
Here's clue: Team USA has not "run out of oil," either. That's simplistic and used to fool the rubes into agreeing to further foul our nests with unsafe pipelines, very unsafe and environmentally damanging fracking, etc.
All done to further enrich the greedy pig 1%ers.
Gas at the pumps is so expensive because of speculation. We have passed Peak Oil (look it up on teh Google thingie... ), but a lot of oil is held on container ships, too, to artifically inflate the prices.
P.S. I deliberately mis-spelled "teh." so there.
P.P.S. If wingnuts are so damn "worried" about the status of oil in Team USA, then why aren't they more in favor in developing alternatives to the use of Oil?? Riddle me that one, wingnut.
Boy, I knew Garfield had gotten a little stale over the years, but this is the worst comic strip I've seen in ages!
There was a report written for the JCS in 2010 that warns of oil shortages in 2015 and thereafter. Even the beloved US military understands about Peak Oil.
One more thing: the oil companies don't care who gets the last drops of easily extracted oil. They'll sell to the highest bidder, and if that happens to be Red China, too damned bad.

SUVs are selling like hot cakes in Communist China.
Think oil companies are gonna sell oil drilled or fracked in the good old USA ONLY to US consumers??
Dream on, wingnuts. You've been had. Whine & cry & victimize yourself to Democrats or progressives or nasty dirty minorities all you like... ain't gonna change a thing.
