Some of us predict that "some" of teh oil will be translated into honest talk as "100%". The refinery can only handle certain types of crude and right now, most of the refined product stays in the US. If it stays on line and no more refineries are built (not a government thing-this is the capitalistic oil companies conspiring to keep the price up by limiting the number of refineries), the net impact will be LESS oil products availabel in the US.

And, of course, we can expect to see a picture of Timmy and Hugo Chavis, dictator of Venezeula, on the editortial page of teh Arkansas Democrat repeatedly! Hah!

Oh, if 500 miles of pipe has already been made, not much more would be needed from Wellspun, so short on jobs too.

Stop interrupting the narrative. It makes the Kochtopus look bad, therefore it is true.

"Billionaires Secretly Funded Vast Climate Denial Network ($120 mil)

Conservative billionaires used a secretive funding route to channel nearly $120 million to more than 100 groups casting doubt about the science behind climate change, the Guardian has learned.

The funds, doled out between 2002 and 2010, helped build a vast network of think tanks and activist groups working to a single purpose: to redefine climate change from neutral scientific fact to a highly polarizing "wedge issue" for hardcore conservatives.

The millions were routed through two trusts, Donors Trust and the Donors Capital Fund, operating out of a generic town house in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC. Donors Capital caters to those making donations of $1 million or more.

but for Kochs 120 mil is still chump change.

The answer is obvious. Facebook.

I doubt it. They only spent $2.5 million to start it up, and they probably rent their data from the same sources everyone else uses.

Keep up your silly blame game but until you find a work-around to Bush's Court the Citizen United decision remains the law of the land.

A group of concerned environmentalists in Fayetteville are busy folding 5,000 fliers today for handout in Washington, D.C. about the threat of the XL pipeline. Several have mobilized to protest in Okla.

Any way you want to slice it, Tim Griffin is signed, sealed and delivered to the Koch Brothers, and he'll do whatever they tell him to do, whenever they tell him to do it.

Tim Griffin should be doing (or have done) some hard time in a Federal Correctional Facility for engaging in illegal criminal voter caging in Florida during the 2004 Presidential Election.

Instead, he got rewarded for those felonious activities by being elected US Congressman from the Second District in Arkansas with the help of the Koch Brothers.

We now know part of the reason why the Koch Brothers invested so much of their "political money' into state Legislative races here in Arkansas. They already knew they were going to own the controlling interest in that proposed steel mill in Osceola and it was going to take A LOT OF STATE TAX DOLLARS to get that proposal off the ground.

Just say NO to Koch!

He's my congressman but he hardly represents me. Can you divorce your congressman?

At the state level, the Regnat Populus ballot question would perpetuate this system with it's PAC money-laundering scheme.
