Here's shale in your eye!
It's one of those bad news-good news days for Utah's economy.
A Natural Resources Department study finds that Utah has only about a quarter of the oil-shale deposits than previously thought. Considering no one can figure out how to commercially extract the petroleum out of the rock, I'm not sure this matters anyway.
Before Rep. Mike Noel goes into a funk over reduced land-rape profits, he should consider this cheering news—state liquor sales are up six percent! Utah's socialists will be delighted to learn their state-owned warehouse is unloading 20-30 semitrailer loads a day and shipping out 13,000-14,000 cases of alcohol to the liquor stores. Even in hard times, social drinkers are one natural resource that Utah can depend on.

Amazing story. Oil shale is really about the stupidest thing i've ever heard of. It's like something from "Junky" only its with suit-wearing Republicans instead of Burroughs. They have to get their fix somehow.
