Somehow, I smell “muslim”.

If it’s good, they’ve gotta destroy it.

Levelled for gravel to use for road filler. Do you know what this means?

1. Roads are used by cars.
2. Cars run on gasoline.
4. Gasoline requires drilling for petroleum.
5. Petroleum is cheaper because of fracking.
6. George W. Bush made money in the oil business.

Therefore:

*Bush’s Fault!!*
*Fracking’s Fault!!*

Expect a press conference from the Obama administration using that logic.

That’s not a Mayan pyramid. Maybe it was a mound of dirt and overgrowth over stones that was once built by the Mayans.
