With gas prices soaring to unprecedented heights, that's when the conservative leader Newt Gingrich unveiled the slogan 'Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less'—with an emphasis on the now. The wildly popular campaign was a cry against caution, against study, against measured action. In Gingrich's telling, drilling at home wherever the oil and gas might be—locked in Rocky Mountain shale, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and deep offshore—was a surefire way to lower the price at the pump, create jobs, and kick Arab ass all at once. In the face of this triple win, caring about the environment was for sissies: as senator Mitch McConnell put it, 'in Alabama and Mississippi and Louisiana and Texas, they think oil rigs are pretty'. By the time the infamous 'Drill Baby Drill' Republican national convention rolled around, the party base was in such a frenzy for US-made fossil fuels, they would have bored under the convention floor if someone had brought a big enough drill.","author":"Naomi Klein","tags":["2008","2008-in-united-states","2008-rnc","alabama","anti-arabism","anti-intellectualism","arabs","arctic-national-wildlife-refuge","deepwater-horizon-oil-spill","drill-baby-drill","drilling-rigs","employment","environment","environmentalism","fossil-fuels","louisiana","may-2008","mississippi","mitch-mcconnell","natural-gas-prices","newt-gingrich","offshore-drilling","offshore-oil-gas-in-us","oil-platforms","oil-rigs","oil-wells","petroleum-industry","political-campaign","republican-national-convention","republican-party-us","rocky-mountains","shale-gas","shales","slogans","texas","united-states-senate","us-offshore-drilling-debate"],"id":282356,"author_id":"Naomi+Klein"},{"text":"In the Awakenings movie I found it very interesting that the most profound awakenings in the catatonic patients occurred in 1969, the year that the Aurora Borealis was seen from N.Y. To Louisiana. It seems the patients were getting environmental radiation stimulation in addition to their L-Dopa drug that year. L-Dopa plus radiation therapy may eventually be proven to be a very potent brain stimulant.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["1969","addition","aurora","awakenings","borealis","brain","catatonic","drug","environmental","interesting","l-dopa","louisiana","movie","new","ny","patients","potent","profound","radiation","stimulant","stimulation","therapy","year","york"],"id":315399,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":18,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
