China to drill for Oil in Lehigh County

Yesterday, in a secret meeting, Governor Rendell, County Executive Don Cunningham, and Mayor Ed Pawlowski cut a secret deal with the Chinese Government to allow exploratory oil drilling in downtown Allentown, and the surrounding county.
"This could be a great boon for Pennsylvania citizens," exclaimed the governor. "Don and Ed are getting a couple of million bucks each in their campaign funds, and all the illegal immigrants running around center city procreating will have jobs!"
No word yet on when the drilling will start, but rumor has it the first derrick will be going up at the site of the former Colonial theater! Can't wait! That will bring the price of a gallon of gas down, right?!

What a terrific new use for the Colonial site. All those oil workers downtown are sure to spur the economy. Will Exxon be getting a grant for this?

Yes, from my sources, I have learned that both Exxon and Shell will be applying for, and receiving "KOZ" designations for their drilling sites. I hear Shell is going to do the Americus Hotel Property!
