Hypocritics (yes, I meant to spell it that way)

I saw this quote on Twitter today, attributed to Bill Maher: RT @gedeon: “Every asshole who ever chanted ‘Drill baby drill’ should have to report to the Gulf coast today for cleanup duty.” – Bill Maher.

While I’m not one of those assholes, it did make me wonder if Bill Maher either rides a bike everywhere or has himself volunteered to help with any previous oil spills?

It’s a terrible mess. Yes. But I get tired of the arrogant critics who are paid so well to criticize and rant from a comfortable distance. Nobody wants to be in the middle east (for oil or for chasing WMDs or for whatever reason) so we either have to find oil on our own soil (or water) or we all have to ride bikes or convert to electric vehicles immediately. I look forward to the day when we don’t have to rely on foreign oil, or any oil for that matter (might not be in my lifetime), but in the meantime if you don’t want to be in the middle east, and you don’t want to drill for oil here, you better be riding a freaking bike and not flying, using the bus, or consuming oil in any other way.
