WTF do you expect from aWoL's crew? We know the BCF are only Saudi Lap Dogs. Prescott Bush was not Hitler's banker because he liked him (although bigots think alike) but because he had the power. T

4. LOL

If you can imagine that!

I swear right now, if Bush came out on national television and gave the Gordon Gecko "Greed is Good" speech from "Wall Street" and then afterwards Dick Cheney went down the press aisle systematically strangling reporters with piano wire, I would not even bat an eye. Nothing surprises me anymore.

3. Is there anyone in government not making money from the oil companies?

Unfuckingbelievable!

I guess it shouldn't surprise me, though. The oil companies have been screwing the American consumers for so long, it is now "business as usual."

With all of shrubby's cronies in various offices, we are so fucked.

6. Oil companies need to be roped in...

They are out of control making money hand over fist. They get the oil for free from Bush and then sell it at unbelieveable profits. It makes perfect sense.
