Is this the excuse they wanted not to drill?

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

We have an Amazon fulfillment center right down the street from us.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.

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

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.

It means say sayonara to any oil near that coral reef.

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