Oil, Delivered Right To Your Door

Convenience!
WISCONSIN - Canada’s Enbridge Inc. raced on Sunday to repair a major pipeline that spilled more than 1,000 barrels of oil in a Wisconsin field, provoking fresh ire from Washington over the latest in a series of leaks.

The spill on Friday, which comes almost two years to the day after a ruptured Enbridge line fouled part of the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, has forced the closure of a major conduit for Canadian light crude shipments to U.S. refiners and threatens further reputational damage to a company that launched an over $3 billion expansion program just two months ago.
And hey, what do The Terrorists make of a giant pipeline full of flammable stuff snaking across The Great Satan?

See, another reason why Canada is better.

They spill their petroleum products in other countries, thus keeping their own in its lovely, pristine condition.

Well, there's the ruin of Northern Alberta (and the planet) by other means...

my favorite defense of this so far is when a guy said that it was only a few thousand barrels, a fraction of what the pipeline carried.

Apparently it is nothing to worry about until the ENTIRE PIPELINE is spewed into the environment.

It is a sacrifice for Freedom™. Like tax cuts and military spending.

Not to give any one any ideas, but if those terrorists really wanted to mess things up they'd simultaneously start a few hundred wildfires across Southern California.

Well, I would. If I were a terrorist. Which I'm not. Honest.

(Any rain in the forecast?)

They can't hold a candle to the oil companies.

Also, i would like to deliver several thousand barrels of oil to oil industry executives via enema.

And maybe I could work some cows in there also.

In fact, I may consider that a s a subroutine in the Wingnut Processor.
