Gotta love oil company execs. We need to drill more to stop our dependency on foreign oil! But please ease the rules on oil exports so we can make more money selling domestic oil overseas!

 

Similiar to when Ted Kennedy fought the wind farm off the Cape.

 

Very true. Hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes (in TK's case, 2XL).

 

CEOs are my favorite psychopaths.

 

The Think Progress link didn't even include the juicy fact that the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the water company is ex-Congressman Dick Armey (R - Texas), the former House Majority Leader and no friend of the environmental movement.

NIMBYs come in all political stripes.

 

Jerseyan pols, from both sides, overwhelmingly, don't want frack waste.

What does Christie say to them? Fuck you.
