The hyprocrisy hurts my head.

The real takers

I'd normally have an entire skit ready but the article is better than anything I could devise.

If I said that Tillerman's backyard would be one place that could use a little side effects of fracking, would my fellow DUers forgive me?

Your vengeful thoughts are way milder than mine.

There are two sets of rules: one for them, one for us.

After exterminating the middle class by making them all poor, they celebrated by issuing a special victory-class dividend. Never heard of it? That's 'cause we don't get any.

fought hard to have the state not recognize ill health effects from chemical exposure and was successful. Later he sued a farmer whose pesticide drift poisoned his horses. He won but the chemically injured workers were forced to apply for "mental health" disability to survive.
The whole system is rotten.

except when its in MY back yard.
That shit is for the peasants!

My nomination for a spot on the list of the Top 20 RICH SCUMBAGS in the US.

Those folks have been fighting hard against fracking in their communities for a long time. I wonder how they feel having this guy benefit from their hard work.

If you go to that link, then to the link with the full petition to the Court, you will see that the lead plaintiff, along with Timmerman, is Richard K. Armey. Yeah. That Richard K. Armey.

that is ironic, or sumthin'. They're both shameful hypocrites who apparently don't give a shit about anyone else, as long as they get what they want.

that DICK (risking the alert for my crass language)?

He is one.

His head is so far up his own butt, he must think the sky is brown.

Something like Lenny Bruce on an angry night:

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.

Freaking hypocrite.

I hope Exxon fires his sorry ass, but you know they won't, and you know whatever the outcome of his own personal case, he'll be right back fucking over everyone else tomorrow.

The hypocritical shit has made it very clear it's all about his property values, not about fracking as a concept. Besides, he's the CEO. He's likely got a ton of buddies on the board.

their corporations -- is the only property that matters.

just this once for his excellent decision of the location of that water tower. I love it when the uber-wealthy are publicly shown to be such assholes.

I had a friend that worked as a server at a restaurant in that area so I made a couple of trips to that area before. This is about as close to being in a rural area anyone can achieve that lives in the northern portion of the Metroxplex.

He has been infected by the NIMBY virus.

The difference is they don't need to become activists when they can just use their money for lobbyists and politicians.

If everybody bought an EV, they wouldn't have the money anymore.

...for hypocrisy.
