Here's a little thought:

If you're chanting something, stop.

Okay, if you're chanting something and you're not at a sporting event with your face painted, stop.

Rhythmically-challenged people can't chant Obama, because they want to go, "o-ba-MA! o-ba-MA!" and that sounds stupid. You can't chant "Mc-CAIN" because it sounds like you've developed some sort of elderly illness.

And you really, really shouldn't be chanting "Drill, baby, drill."

At the point you start chanting something, you've stopped thinking rationally. You're essentially telling your opponent that he is, in fact, a belly itcher when you very much wanted a pitcher. You're working "watermelon rind" into your vocabulary so you can remind a foe that if he would only take a gander at the scoreboard, he would find that he is not ahead.

Saying "Drill baby drill" is the environmental and political equivalent of chanting, "Eat potato chips, baby, eat potato chips." It may be good for a few minutes, but you'll wish you had had the carrots when you're winded from playing ping-pong. It's selfish, immature, and really pretty stupid.

Would a little more off-shore drilling hurt? Probably not. But it doesn't solve the problem; it just provides a false sense of security that something's happening.
