Gas prices and offshore drilling

Not much is at stake on Election Day 2008. Just the long-term health of the global economy and the future of the planet. That's what the offshore drilling debate is all about.

    It's like cassette tapes and CDs

    We need to switch. Oil is cassette tapes. What if we had made a law back in the skinny-tie era about sticking with cassette tapes, rather than switching to CDs, and then moving on to digital downloads and so on?

    Makes no sense. Sure, cassette tapes still exist, and so do vinyl records. But music is digital now. The world needs to leave oil behind, and move on. McCain is an old cassette tape guy. He does not get it, or he maybe owns a cassete tape company.

    Good night. I am obsessed. Tomorrow, no Salon. Love to all.
