That didn't bother me, honestly. As I noted the first time I commented on Asay's cartoons, back at my other blog a couple of years ago, Asay is one of the great monomaniacs, and there is no problem that cannot (in his mind) be solved by just drilling for oil more places. So this is just yet another expression of pure Asayism.
But it is cute that Asay thinks that the 2012 election will be about drilling for oil, and that the vast American public is going to be strongly in favor of more deepwater wells in places like the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not sure if that's monomania, a cynicism about the American memory, or pure craziness, but I personally doubt "drill, baby, drill" will be more than a side issue a year from now. (Medicare, on the other hand....)
And he still doesn't understand how global markets work, either.
