I heard another speech this morning full of the usual requests for freedom from special interest lobbyists, but the party of the speechmaker is the party that scuttled ANWAR oil development and amazingly I was surprised to hear even Bill O'Reilly say last night that environmental concerns in ANWAR are more important than the oil. Maybe O'Reilly should get the "Caribou Award"? I need to keep my cool but it is amazing that such a critical issue can be muddled in politics to such an extent. As mentioned by NTFDAY and IC2 O'Reilly did note the negative effect of speculators.
