Good point.

Indigenous oil! Aborigine oil! Kick out the invading lizard!

What’s a PETA wacko to do?

We should probably wait until we get the fire situation under control.

Texas Governor Perry asks President Obama for federal assistance to fight fires

I remember when Bush couldn't show up quick enough to respond to Katrina, now Obama doesn't even bother commenting on the Nashville flood, NC tornados, and the Texas fires.

you indeed get the prize for this: “There’s a 6 foot lizard in D.C. who’s out to destroy an entire country.”

Maybe that lizard could have Eric Holder investigate the three inch lizard to see why gas prices are so high. The dum bass.

“Could a three-inch lizard collapse the West Texas oil industry?”

Under the rule of the current administration, absolutely.
Almost guaranteed.
In fact, it’s to be expected.

Just sayin’...

It’s not going to matter. West Texas was emptying its tanks anyway.

This is 100% about the planned destruction of America, pure and simple!

It has noting whatsoever to do with a lizard, toad, bug fish tree, clean air or anything else. Only a fool would believe such nonsense!

When I lived in W. TX as a kid, these lizards were the payload for our Estes rockets. We learned about the asbestos wadding needed after launching the rocket, engine blew the nose cone off, but welded the plastic parachute to the lizard.

We had no shortage of alternate payloads. They’re everywhere.

It’s not about the lizard; etc. They would squash it if they saw one. It’s about the power to destroy.

Not just power; but the power to really destroy.

What were you expecting? He doesn't consider them to be his people.

“Get rid of these enviro nazis....”

Treat them like the dogs they are. Smack them over the nose with a rolled up magazine and they will go back under the porch.

Just need the cajones to do it.

Except instead of grinding government to a halt, it seeks to use government to grind economic development to a halt.
