    Drill here. drill now. Pay less.

    People who opposing drilling are Marxists who hate capitalism in general and the US in particular. If you are an American, they hate you and they they hate your job.

    So, Kudzu, what makes you think that the oil companies want to drill more? The fact that they're holding tens of thousands of permits they're not drilling now, or the fact that they refuse to crank their refineries up to capacity?

    Keeping folks like you snowed is how they make their money. How in the world can they keep the price at $140/barrel if they increase supply?!

    Just wait and see how fast that Iraqi oil comes on the market - something tells me those Iraqi facilities are going to need years, and maybe decades, of upgrades before they can come online. Just like all those ENRON generating facilities in California were shut down for maintenance during the rolling blackouts. Maintenance .... riiiiiiiight. We're all Grandma Millie now.

    But, by all means, keep bending over - Exxon and BP and Shell and Chevron need to do something to keep busy (since they're not drilling...for oil). And it's hard to vote against your own interests when you've got your hands around your ankles.

    These might be lies, but getting two free tacos when showing your gas receipt isn't. With gas becoming more and more expensive, Jack wants to help you fill your stomach. Bring any gas receipt to Jack in the Box next Thursday, June 26th, and get two free tacos. No gimmicks, no hidden fees, no purchase necessary-just two free tacos! Great deal right? You don't believe me?
