Biden blames fracking for earthquakes
Washington Times ^ | 4/3/12 | Ben Wolfgang

The vice president shook up the scientific world Tuesday. At a campaign stop in Virginia touting the administration’s energy policy, Vice President Joseph R. Biden blamed earthquakes on the extraction of natural gas by fracking. Industry analysts immediately panned Mr. Biden’s remarks — which are backed by no evidence — about the hydraulic fracturing method that uses water, sand and chemicals to crack underground rock and release vast amounts of fuel. (Snip) But state officials have confirmed that the temblors were the result of a wastewater-disposal well, not fracking itself.

So what? The earthquakes they blame on the fracking have been small entertaining ones. And a great trade in light of the gas harvest we get.

Well Rimshot. If you’d lay off the beans and burritos for a while that wouldn’t happen.

If Sarah Palin said the things that Joe Biden did, it would be front page news.

It could be a book or a sitcom, “S**t my Vice President Says.”

Partitioned from reality. Liberalism is truly a terminal mental disorder.

Joe is just making this crap up so they will replace him with Hillary.

They will say poor Joe is just too darned dedicated and the stress is getting to him. Or they will say the Hair Plugs got infected and messed up his bird like brain.

I’m guessing science is not Joe’s strong suit. I bet he could win a nobel prize in mixing drinks though! I’ll have a Tom Collins Joe.

I love Freepers! They are so creative, and after reading the stories about the libs, I need a good laugh.

Well, I’m really glad they consulted an expert for this opinion. We all know how brilliant Joe Biden is, but who knew he was an expert geologist, too? *snort*

I remember the good old days when “Frack” was a cuss word on Battlestar Gallactica and “Fluke” was a nobody empty suit winning an election for the Illinois State Senate.
