Is everyone unclear on the concept of the agenda of the man now in the highest office of the land?  Have we not spent billions on a foreign war under false pretenses to guaranteee that 'our oil' will continue to flow?  Now this.  I am thoroughly disgusted and pissed.

Senate Votes to Allow Arctic Drilling
(AP) - Amid the backdrop of soaring oil and gasoline prices, a sharply divided Senate on Wednesday voted to open the ecologically rich Alaska wildlife refuge to oil drilling, delivering a major energy policy win for President Bush. The Senate, by a 51-49 vote, rejected an attempt by Democrats and GOP moderates to remove a refuge drilling provision from next year's budget, preventing opponents from using a filibuster -- a tactic that has blocked repeated past attempts to open the Alaska refuge to oil companies.
