For more than a week hundreds have gathered outside the White House to protest the Keystone pipeline. The planned pipeline will cost approximately $13 billion according to the TransCanada.com. Some critics claim Canada is trying to jump into the oil export business and others say that this will reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil. Brant Olson, communications manager for Rainforest Action Network, tells us what could happen if this pipeline is built and at what cost.

"But, you know, me and Barry haven't discussed this yet." Lovely.

2. Hundreds arrested?

Has there seriously been hundreds arrested? Wow. Why? Was it location? Was it their disruption to the rest of the law abiding citizens? Were they breaking the law?

This article/report lacks clarity. How many have been charged? Were there public order offences? Was there some prick activist testing White House security?

Besides from that, nothing wrong with that oil from Canada...? No? Might as well put it to use, nothing will grow in it anyway.
