"I for one am glad this President is defending our borders from the influx of illegal energy."

That's from the comments thread on a Free Republic entry with a link to this Calgary Herald article.

It's tongue in cheek, of course, but the Keystone XL pipeline just won't go away: American bloggers, commentators and politicians are doing it to death.  But in this age of the 15 second soundbite, will it still be an issue later this fall when the presidential election campaign heats up?

I any case, here's a taste:

Be sure to read the comments, too,  which are often as good as or better as a source of info than the article itself.
