This just gives me gas

You know the deal – greed and gluttony rule. The world is truly on its head when someone like pompous mega-dork Thomas Friedman is actually starting to make sense. But here it is:

His article in Sept. 13th’s NY Times, entitled “Making America Stupid” is about drilling –  America’s catastrophic dependence on digging holes in the ground while pretending to look for a “light at the end of the tunnel.” 

It’s not about our current problem of predatory gas companies preying on uninformed local people, but it is a close allegory. 

Read it and weep.
