T. Boone Pickens: $1 Million to Swift Boat Veterans (!)
In case anyone hasn't figured out the true political leanings of one T. Boone Pickens, check this out:

http://www.newsmeat.com/billionaire_political_donations/T_Boone_Pickens.php

Veeeeerrry long list of true miscreants, including 3 contribs to Swift Boat adding up to a million dollars! But hey, also gave to the Kerry Senate campaigns.

His very first was in 1979, $500 for Papa Bush's primary campaign.

1. this is very old news. i think few here are blind to t. boone.
t. boone knows that we have to diversify our energy sources and he is going to be front and center when the profits come rolling in. nothing wrong with that. he will probably make his last fortune on alternative energy. if it gets us to where we need to be, well, that's ok. in this case, the ends DO justify the means.

3. T. Boone bought all the Natural Gas Rights
T. Boone doesn't care at all about Global Warming. If he did, he'd be setting up solar panels in the arid area of Texas. He bought all the Natural Gas Rights he could. Now he wants to make Natural Gas the energy form, because he owns it.
