THIS GUY

Bo and chicken on a stool

So this is the man behind the curtain?

This is the guy that has Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry’s ear?

This is the guy who helped write a proposal to the US Government to end its biofuels programs?

I know you are asking now — Joe — does this guy like terrorists and dictators — does he want us to use more of their oil?

I don’t know. But he does love his chickens. These pictures just keep popping up. Even with photoshop I couldn’t make something so damn odd and funny.

Back to serious business though — this is the guy…

I think Joe needs to look a little more into Lonnie “Bo” Pilgrim, Pilgrims Pride, and who else is paying for all these efforts to destroy domestic fuel production. These people need to be exposed — and so do the politicians that do their bidding.

I am sick and tired of being reliant on foreign oil and all the despots and dictators that we count on to get the damn stuff. Any effort to keep us more reliant on foreign oil keeps us entangled in wars in far away places.

Stupid.

Looks like I have some research to do over the Fourth of July weekend. I have half a mind to hop in the car and head on down to Pittsburg, Texas and do some scouting of my own. Wouldn’t video and interviews of this cast of characters be interesting?

I might do it if gas wasn’t so damn expensive.

Money hands

I promised you news…now I am here to give it to you.

Let’s establish the facts:

Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry chairs the Republican Governors Association.

Lonnie “Bo” Pilgrim hates ethanol and biofuels.

Lonnie “Bo” Pilgrim is one of Perry’s biggest backers. (you will remember we asked the following questions in a June 27 posting:

“Makes a person wonder…

How often does Pilgrims Pride Perry and Bo Pilgrim talk?

Have they ever talked about the RFS waiver?

Did Bo Pilgrim ask Pilgrims Pride Perry to advocate for the end of renewable fuels?

Sure would be interesting to see Pilgrims Pride Perry’s schedule, emails or phone records.

Might be interesting what they show…”

Well — here is what we do know:

Maxine Waters Wants to be our Chavez

maxine waters

I can’t make this up.

Was trolling through some old clips and came across this real beauty from our own Maxine Waters.

She has the CEO’s of major US oil companies in front of her committee in Congress — and is asking them about supply, rising gas prices, etc. Then she gets into it with the CEO of Shell. And on the one hand — good for her. But what comes out of her mouth?

She says she wants to nationalize the US oil industry if prices don’t come down. Well, actually, she didn’t say “nationalize” because she could not think of the word. She tried “socialize” and realized that didn’t quite fit. What she actually meant was “nationalize” — like that idiot dictator Chavez did in Venezuala.

Check out the video for yourself — almost too weird to be true.

 

I mean — my GOD.

Solar anyone? Bio-fuels? Wind?

Let’s do that — don’t need Maxine or Hugo Chavez.

Please.
