What the Hell is wrong with those Damn Yankees?

OK, So what's the deal with the Bush administration in the good ol' US of A? Forever (it seems like) they have been blatently ignoring judgments by the NAFTA governing body about softwood lumber. All this while moaning and bitching about how the European Union is "protectionist" and the the Canadian Wheat Board is "unfair" (forgetting about all the subsidies that Uncle Sam provides to American farmers. Enough is enough! If Ottawa slapped a $10 tariff on every Canadian barrel of oil that goes to the states, and charged a "handling fee" for every barrel of Alaska oil that flows through B.C., ol' Dubya would sit up and take notice. On top of that we could slow down the electricity exports that we send south. A week or two of brownouts along both coasts might get the attention of the White House. Of course it could all backfire. If we endangered precious oil and power, "Operation Free the Hoser" couldn't be far behind. For Boney B. Buckethead, ESQ, I'm Boney B.
