Well, NOW it's all clear

Isn't it strange, as The Preznit himself remarked today, that we have a Texas oilman out there complaining about America's "addiction to oil" and that we need to Do Something About It? (Nemmind the federal funding for alternative energy research has been cut.)

The last paragraph of the news story makes it clear what's going on here:

Bush reiterated his call for building more U.S. nuclear power plants as an energy alternative to expensive natural gas. "I think it makes sense to do so," he said.

Oh, goody! Sure as hell I'm going to trust the White House that's given us Enron, 9/11, Iraq and Katrina to revive the nuclear power industry. Jeez, I can't see HOW that could POSSIBLY be a bad thing!Daaah, and OBVIOUSLY what we need in this booga-booga Nuclear Dirty Bomb Terrorist age is, of course, more nuclear waste being produced. (And think of it - it's all being shipped to one location. One Stop Shopping for all your radiological incident needs.)
