The fact is that we cannot drill our way to independence. we cannot drill our way to freedom, and we cannot drill our way to create jobs in this country.

The executive orders. barack obama is doing it again with this ban that he thinks is in perpetuity on offshore drilling in the atlantic ocean and north of alaska. it's bad what obama's trying to do, and i know exactly what he is doing with this. but the first thing is, the areas that obama has, by executive order, declared off-limits are areas nobody wants to drill in anyway. there are no plans to drill off the coast, the east coast of the country out in the atlantic, and there are no plans to drill north of alaska in the arctic circle.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

The anger of the weak never goes away, professor, it just gets a little moldy. it molds like a beautiful blue cheese in the dark, growing stronger, and more interesting. the poor and the weak die with all their anger intact and probably those angers go on growing in the dark of the grave like the hair and the nails.
