Is this the excuse they wanted not to drill?

Must be some kind of special “brown-water coral.”

Obama has been doing his best to completely eliminate coral-based power!

"If you want to build a coral-based power plant you can but the air pollution controls on that plant will bankrupt you!"

One is about ten miles away from my home; from what I hear it pays well and people work for every penny they get. One would think the senior management would be conservative, but one would be as wrong as thinking that there are no reefs on the Amazon river.

I once snorkeled in the Bahamas while marking time with my right hand, just so I could say that I was a coral conductor. I did it with one hand as well, so I could say I was a semiconductor.

(Yes, I direct a church choir, whenever the church has one.)

Scientists today are too busy filling out requests for government grants to actually do any exploring on this old planet. That’s why they were thoroughly gobsmacked when the good ol’ boys from Texas proved the “peak oil” gospel to be just another hoax by phony “scientists.” They are no better than the Gibsmedats who vote for Free Stuff every election and should have zero credibility by now.

I knew Amazon.com was big but I didn’t know it had its own river delivery system also.
