An anonymous OKPNS reader has sent along a document from one-time guest columnist “Dr. Goose.” We heartily encourage our readers to send us their original commentary for consideration for OKPNS. (okpns_editor@hotmail.com)
It appears Dr. Goose is about to come to the defense of Speaker Chris Benge’s controversial natural gas plan. The document appears here in it’s unedited state, providing us insight into the media powers that are assembling to support the Speaker.
Developing!
From “Dr. Goose:”
The Oklahoma Speaker, Chris Benge, rolled out his
record profitsenergy independence plan forT. Boone and ChesapeakeOklahomans this week, and he is patriotically asking Oklahomans to help us defeat dangerous foreign oil. I was shocked: I didn’t know foreign oil was more dangerous than its domestic cousin! I’ll be more careful from now on! I guess that Argentina crude is packing heat. Heck yes, Mr. Speaker, I’ll be glad to say no to dangerous foreign oil and it’s children, gasoline and diesel. “You pack heat, you’re going back in, but not in my tank!”I’m also jazzed about his call to Oklahomans to emulate the progressive countries of the world, you know, Pawkeeestawn (Obama-speak) and Eyeran (Bush-speak). Next, the Speaker will challenge us Oklahomans to be the best we can be, and overtake Tennessee in the number of obnoxious country singers per square mile. Stirring rhetoric coming from my Speaker!
I am very enthusiastic: I’m pretty sure Mr. Benge is going to tour Oklahoma wearing one of those NASCAR-like driving suits with all the logos of the companies who
bought himare helping him make Oklahoma and America energy independent. His news conference at the end of the opening day of the legislature will sound something like this: “The Chris Benge Chesapeake T. Boonedoggle Nose Pickens Clean Skies Foundation CNG/BS Massive Tax Credits Oklahoma Thundergottheclap Energy Pawkeestawn-Eye-Ran Independenceschemeplan ran pretty good here on opening day. We put in a couple hundred thousand in the tank, added a butt-load of hot air to the rear and added couple pounds of methane and the crowd just went wild. In the future, we’ve got to keep our crew chief, Dirty Coates, from letting his papers blow across the track. But all in all, wefooled ‘emeducated them and they pretty much bought into thisbovine scatologyplan. I know I havebeen bought.”There are some who think ‘addicted to oil’ is liberal environmental wacko talk, adopted by the President in one of his weak moments, and used by leftists and con artists promoting foolish alternative energy plans. I want to be clear: it is just a coincidence that Speaker Benge is sounding like Al Gore and Thomas Friedman and a couple thousand communist writers. Just a coincidence. No, I’m serious. Stop laughing, darn it!!
And one other thing: that similarity between the folks that advised old Harry Coates last year and this deal, I want to go on record that’s a coincidence, too. The difference is Harry Coates is a Republican who fell under the sway of liberal RINO’s and got caught doing a stupid thing on behalf of some energy con artists, while Speaker Benge is a Republican
who fell under the sway of liberal RINO’s and got caught doing a stupid thing on behalf of some energy con artists, and uh, oh hell, never mind.Anyway, on behalf of our civic minded Speaker, who is advancing tax credits for
con artistsOklahoma’s children, I want to draw your attention to three so-called conservatives, who are actually rabid liberals, who falsely and cynically are attempting to slam thecon artistspatriots who care nothing about profits and wantrobhelp America.Read the non-sense from this Limbaugh character and others and you’ll see why Chris Benge is actually a keen-thinking man who hasn’t been influenced by the lure of campaign donations and power.
Read these three “lefties” (Limbaugh, Corsi, Hebron) and realize Chris Benge is a man
full of natural gasof vision who is putting the interests ofbillionairesOklahomans foremost in histaxpayer ripoffleadership.
Speaker Benge Quote:
“Of the 234.6 million vehicles traveling on American roads, a mere 95,000 are natural gas vehicles, or 0.1 percent. That is compared to countries like Argentina where there are 1.5 million NGVs on their roads. Both Pakistan and Iran have nearly a quarter of their vehicles running on natural gas. And they do that so they can reserve their oil to sell to the United States, further feeding America’s addiction to foreign fuel.”

Where do I begin?
How can you possibly think it is a good idea to continue to import our oil from Middle Eastern Countries that control so much of our wealth as it is sent over to “fuel” their economy? OF COURSE we need to drill here and drill now – this isnt a zero sum game. We should drill MORE in America – off our coasts, etc. This DOES NOT mean that we cant also pursue other domestic sources of energy such as CNG. Just because WE ALL – yes me included, dont like Chesapeake doesnt mean the policy isnt sound. You dont cut off your chesapeake nose to spite your need for domestic resources face. NO ONE contends that we will move our entire oil use over to natural gas or any other alternative. But SMART PEOPLE recognize that oil is a finite commodity that we should invest in alternatives NOW as well as pursue new oil discovery opportunities as the global economy continues to put demand pressure on the system. A decade ago Russia went from being a net exporter to a net importer of oil. You need to put your feelings of Chesapeake aside as they are a REALLY small fish in this pond and understand the big picture of how foreign oil impacts our national security and how the increased demand globally impacts our national economy. To do otherwise is foolishness, and certainly isnt ‘conservative’.
