Taggart spreading falsehoods about oil drilling in today's Clarion Ledger

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."- Mark Twain

In the blogs section of today's Clarion Ledger Andy Taggart insists on spreading misleading information to the readers. Taggart says "Drill here. Drill now. Pay less."

Let's go over this one more time. The U.S. Energy Information Administration concluded as late as 2007 that it would be year 2030 before any minimal effect would be felt at the pumps by increased offshore drilling. The U.S. Energy Information Administration is part of the Bush led Executive branch.

Year 2030. Year 2030. Year 2030. Repeat that until it sinks in.

Now either Andy Taggart is a liar or just misinformed. I find it hard to believe that he is misinformed being a man in his position, so I am going with option A.

Mississippians deserve the truth Mr. Taggart. You don't have to agree with my point of view, but please base your opinions on FACTS, not lies.

  1. I saw several billboards in NC on the interstate with the message "Drill Here, Drill Now" on what appeared to be an oil background. There was no indication of who paid for them.

    It's a nationally coordinated message.

    Taggart is happy to be a pawn.
