Former england goal keeper david james is bankrupt. His stuff is being auctioned off. I read prices are expected to be low, though it is getting a lot of media attention today so maybe not

Frack you, man.  Energy independence in, like, 21 months.

You're not facing down the barrel of Mr.Putin's gas gun, frack away man.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and never go in against a Russian when energy is on the line.  I see no reason why we should rape our ecosystem because you guys were stupid enough to get in bed with the mob.  Dumbasses.

No, I meant fracking HERE. 

As an environmentalist, I'm in favour of pulling hydrocarbons out of the ground as near to the source of consumption as possible, then people might take some notice of the damage it can do if not properly regulated and monitored.

If only fracking had a nicer name it wouldnt be so controversial.

It's got to be some kind of scam, but what it tells me is the boom is getting played out.

I thought the current issue is more that the Saudis/OPEC are pushing a decline in oil prices in an attempt to stave off our push for energy independence by making the higher operating costs of fracking uneconomical.

I got no problem with that.  Puts Putins eggs on the band saw.

Yes. I don't know how long it will last, but I think the Saudis can go a long time with a low price bar. It may wind up being a test of how much influence they really have.

Nice effigy.

Makes me wonder if history would have been changed if Putin had an outie instead of an innie.

Interesting to see you posting a diagram suggesting that marijuana legalization is the progressive thing to do.

Actually, I posted it because I thought the disclaimer was funny.

  Ignorant.  Just the way you want 'em, d.  Was she barefoot and pregnant, too?
