My Addiction Affliction

You nailed me, Obama. I'm addicted to fossil fuels. I can't even conceive of breaking the habit, I love it so much. No Betty Ford treatment for me. You can stick it to the drillers, stick it to the refiners and stick it to the retailers; hit them with the highest taxes and most punitive fees you can push through Congress, but you'll never take my fossil fuels away from me. I'm an American and I have as much right to indulge my self-destructive appetites as I have to complain about government attempts to deprive me of them. So don't try to lay any preachy guilt trip on me or I'll drive my SUV right up your big black asphalt.
