Dick Cheney sets up a task force to discuss how he can divert more taxpayer dollars to the energy industry. He invites a bunch of Oil & Gas cronies to help him decide how to spend our money to help them make more money. So what's the problem? It's a big secret who attended these meetings. Why?

What is Dick hiding?

should I be ashamed if I'm a part of the energy industry?

I dont see why, assuming your company is a responsible player. I just dont understand why Republicans/Big Business (is there any difference?) always talk about keeping government out of private industry, until it's time for a tax break. They they've got their mooching sack ready.

The question is: if Dick has nothing to hide, why is even the guest list a secret?

They are just going to drill Alaska for oil probably. Then again, I thought that was common knowledge. :heh:

Again, what is the secret? It's not as if everyone doesnt know the Bush 2 administration isnt a shill for the energy industry.

the energy prices in chicago are riduculous, i basically bendover for them every winter.

last wenter my gas billed averaged $250 /month. for chicago, since there's like 4 months in winter, that's a lot of green. oh and yea, my @rse is pretty sore from pumping gas too
