One Minute Action News: June 10, 2008


Good evening. I'm Bip Ripley and this --

-- is One Minute Action News!

Gas prices hit another record high... a national average of $4.04 a gallon.

In reaction, Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich attempted to launch impeachment proceedings against President Bush for "lying the country into war," a move certain to lower gas prices.

Also, Democrats in Congress proposed to raise taxes on gas by levying a "windfall profits tax" on American oil companies. How raising taxes on gas companies will lower prices for consumers is a scientific mystery -- but that hasn't deterred the dauntless Democrat Party.

Such a "windfall" tax was last attempted during the Carter administration and it was a roaring success -- if you liked gas lines, 15% inflation, 8% unemployment and wearing sweaters in the winter.

Meanwhile, caribou in ANWR are picketing, demanding similar treatment to their cousins at the Prudhoe Bay oil field, where their population is up by over 900%.

Democrats issued a firm rebuke to the caribou, the harshest of which was Harry Reid's rhetorical question, "Who do the caribou think they are? Which is more important -- our initiative to compromise American's national security or growing the wildlife population?"

House leader Nancy Pelosi echoed Reid's statements. "Drilling for oil would strengthen America and give it time to become energy independent while developing green energy sources. We can't permit that!"
