Your input needed: Top Ten ways McCain will fight the Oil Companies
John McCain's new ad states among other inanities, that he'll "fight the Oil Companies".
Recognizing the potential for comic gold when I seek it, I thought I'd solicit suggestions for a "top ten"list of ways that McCain will "fight the Oil Companies".
Here are my three:
1) Wrestle them down and plant more Oil Leases in their pockets
2) Agrresively court them for bigger campaign contributions
3) Challenge them for the best luxury boxes at the Republican National Convention

4) Call oil exec's trophy wives names.
5) Accuse them of being celebrities.
6) Crash jets into their refineries.

7. Fix that slow leak in the oil pan of his Model A.
8. Give migratory waterfowl and other wildlife legal standing to file class-action lawsuits for damages from oil spills, so long as all paperwork is signed by the victims in the presence of a notary public.
10. Complain long and loud about Big Oil research into Obama's "Sci-Fi Wonderland" of alternative fuels.

Great ones folk, thanks for participating!
A few more of my own:
- Insist on "faith-based" methods for searching out new drilling sites
- Cause 'numeric capacity overflow crisis' with Oil Companies' bank accounts

McCain will put flowers in the nozzles of gas pumps (good visual!)
McCain will let Exxon drill on the patios of all 128 of his luxury vacation homes.
McCain the Flagpole Sitter will sit atop the derrick of the Gulf platform "Big Slick" through the night of the Republican Convention and will address the convention from his perch and not come down until he's elected President.
