It's Heating Up...

...What'd I tell ya? Probably contributing to global warming, it's so hot:

Sixty-five arrested outside White House in Oil pipeline protest

They're soooo original:
"The protesters chanted slogans like “hey, ho, tar sands no!” and “hey hey, ho ho, Keystone XL’s got to go.”

Many in the demonstrating group favored khakis, blazers, ties and other garb that eschewed the overtly countercultural look of some environmental protests."
[---]
"...at roughly 11:38 a.m. the arrests started, beginning with a young woman who organizers said was from Wasilla, Alaska. Police cuffed her as her fellow activists cheered and some yelled “hero, you’re a hero!”"
Wanna bet she'll show up to protest the pipeline we're gonna build to the BC coast, too, if this pipeline doesn't get the - ahem, ahem - "green" light. That'll be right about the same time that Alaska starts drilling for their own oil. Betcha most Alaskans would want to see this pipeline built. They could add their own tributary to it and start pumping.
