Happy Energy Freedom Day!

The offshore drilling moratorium lapses today 5

energy freedom day

Today is Energy Freedom Day -- the day the Congressional moratorium on offshore drilling lapses.

Let's all sit back and watch the psychological benefits pour in. Cheap gas is back! Um, soon! Right?

(The grumpuses on the Washington Post editorial board don't think so. They're just not thinking psychologically enough.)

(More on today's non-celebration from Bill Scher.)

    psychological benefitsYeah! We shouldn't need to pay the ransom either, since this should lift us out of our "mental recession."

    Mental deficitLeads to mental recession.  
    With Palin as chief energy strategist we would raise the mental deficit astronomically.
    The mental deficient in chief has put us in this mess.
