Have ya ever been to beautiful Santa Barbara? to beautiful Miami Beach?
Santa Barbara is a really beautiful city.





Lovely.

It has a nice beach. ABut when you stand on that beach and gaze seaward, you can see ....... this:



Miami beach is also a special place.



Jacki Gleason started his weekly show with a flyover of this delightful stretch of oceanfront:



Miami Vice was a mediocre show that had really spectacular scenery and boats in clear blue water:



But John McCain wants to change all that.

Even Jeb Fucking Bush opposes drilling off the Florida coast.

Fuck you, John McCain. All the wrong answers all the time.

1. Hubby is an SB native
We lived there for 10 years, and not only did we have to look at the oil rigs, we paid the highest prices in SoCal for gas at the same time.

When my son was growing up, he told me he thought they were pirate ships, sailing along the coast from Ventura to Santa Barbara. Appropriate, eh?

Now I'm in Florida, and it is nice not to see them!

So double fuck you, John McCain.

2. Lowest price of gas as of yesterday in Santa Barbara is $4.52 a gallon.

So apparently that gas is going somewhere else.

4. I lived in Santa Barbara for 3 years
It's beautiful and I love visiting although I did not enjoy living there. Also, the beaches are not impressive. The oil rigs are unattractive and the tar that sometimes gets stuck to the bottoms of your feet is off-putting.
