Catch me Thurston!
A lefty enviro monkey-wrencher is actually going to do a little hard time!!

It took a lot of digging, but I think I see what the crime was. He punked a Federal land auction (for mineral rights, which greenies oppose) by submitting bogus bids.

There needs to be some substantial financial skin in these games.
Yep I agree. Non Refundable fee. You want to bid you buy in. Texas Hold Em style.
He will be doing a little partying at a minimum security joint in Littleton, CO. But I hear they still only have one shower.
That is a mighty small looking rope.
