Fool's Gold

The solution to America's economic problems is... oil?

According to Forbes, Ohio is planning an oil-drilling operation. Oh joy!

Just count how many times the word “money” is used in that article. The land owners will be forced to give up their useless farmland and shelter for millions of sweet, sweet money. And jobs! Think of how many (most dangerous in the world) jobs it'll produce. Just think of all that money!

And there can't be a possibility of ecological damage resulting from the operation. No siree. Oil spils? Oil rig explosions? Toxic waste disposal? Air pollution? Never happened.
