More Oil for the Yellowstone River

An estimated 50,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the frozen Yellowstone River, one of America’s great wildlife treasures, for a second time.

[...]

“As more than 100 emergency workers hacked at thick river ice in a frantic attempt to find and contain the spilled oil, the U.S. Senate in Washington made good on what its new Republican leaders promised would be their first order of business: approving the Keystone XL pipeline, which would also cross the Yellowstone River in Glendive.”

To repeat, all congressional members and senators that are supporting the Keystone Tar Sands Pipeline should be made to “hack at the thick river ice” in the center of all that putrid oil.

  Truth Out
If only. If it worked like that, they’d all be on the front lines in the Middle East.
How many devastating oil warnings do US politicians need before they stop the madness? What good will their oily pay-offs be if our food and water are contaminated? How many sledgehammers of oil pipeline explosions over their heads do they need before they finally “get it”? When is enough, enough?
When one more penny can’t be squeezed out of lobbyists and the Koch brothers.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
