The decision to drill for oil in ANWR has been approved by the Senate and seems likely to become a reality in the near future. That being said, the issue has come even further to the forefront of the blogosphere. Mark Noonan at Blogs For Bush called it correctly yesterday when he predicted that the vote would pass and Ace over at Ace of Spades HQ subtly encourages PETA members to hug a polar bear. Never ones to shirk responsibility, we here at The Nose On Your Face have done our part.

As a public service we present:

The Top 11 Side Benefits of Drilling in ANWR

11. May discover untapped pool of Eskimo rappers.

10. Alaska-Disney opens next year (they say it might bigger than the 1 in France).

9. Barbara Boxer’s head exploded when she heard the news.

8. More dead caribou means more caribou steaks.

7. More caribou jerky.

6. Playboy’s “Girls of ANWR” issue hits the stands July 1st.

5. More caribou burgers.

4. They may finally catch that wily Sasquatch.

3. People will have the opportunity to use the term “musk ox” more frequently.

2. Oil workers may get to meet Yukon Cornelius.

1. Hippie protesters face a much higher likelihood of frostbite in Alaska’s frigid climate.   

(Disclaimer: Any similarities between TNOYF’s “Top 11″ lists and other organization’s “Top 10″ lists are purely coincidental. As you can see, our lists have 11, theirs have 10. Way different.)
