Drill, Baby, Drill

From a local newspaper on the Gulf Coast- apparently this story is not of national interest:

"WASHINGTON -- Gulf Coast senators are pressing federal regulators to resume processing permits for off-shore drilling in shallow waters, saying that a moratorium imposed earlier this month is too broad...It echoes concerns raised last week by the International Association of Drilling Contractors...the Texas-based trade group said that wells drilled in shallow water typically take 15-45 days. Because of the moratorium, it said, "rigs completing wells in the next weeks will be unable to take on new work."

The Senators? All Republicans, apparently. Surprised?

In related news, the International Association of Heroin Dealers has asked that the moratorium on retail heroin sales be lifted, because if their current supplies run out, they will be unable to take on new work.

Why? Do you think any of them are actually going to get close enough to the disaster they caused to have it affect them personally?
