Though I'm sure some of you aren't fans of Maureen Dowd, her article today hits the nail on the head.

Natural gas producers are just as bad, there is something known as the Haliburton loophole, inserted by the same Duke of Halburton, that exempts gas producers from EPA rules governing groundwater contamination. There is a process call 'frakking' where they introduce high pressure water and chemicals into the ground to fracture the rock and release the gas. There is a big gas field in Colorado where this is going on, as if Colorado did not have enough problems with groundwater.

Here's another one.

I guess for satire to be funny, it has to be based on truth.

Lol!

I like the 'remajestification' too, 'get out there and comb those bears' is killing me.

How about "I sure wouldn't want to be the one to drain Old Faithful and clean the trap, but I'm glad someone is doing it."

... and boycott Exxon for the Valdez oil spill and Citgo because of Hugo Chavez. Then hope like hell there's another station when you're low on gas.
