Prolly, 'cause the ultra-right Christian republican has been
taught that all you got to do is drill a hole in the ground to
find oil. The almighty has provided all the oil mankind could
ever use, according to that crowd and there ain't no such thing
as a dry hole. Some of these idiots get elected.

It all depends on how you look at it. I personally have never been involved
in drilling a "dry hole" ... they were all "geological successes, but a
hydrocarbon failures".
