"If you've seen one tree . . . ." Please come CAPTION John Boehner!!!



John ("'Desecration' is just a word.&quot Boehner is saying, "George, a lot of people told me it was going to be one the hardest decisions in my life, whether to attempt the save the planet and human civilization--with all its majesty and great art, its history both brilliant and horrific, its magnificent science, its eternal dreams of peace, its legendary loves and dreadful sorrows--from certain and brutal extinction (taking thousands of additional species down with us down the drain), . . . or to support quarterly profits for stockholders in the petroleum industry, . . . but it was really a no brainer!"

Above CAPTION based on the following story from Politico:

Sure we have a domestic approval rating lower than Blue Bell ice cream but that's just with our constituents. We are going global. See with this propaganda machine that we've become subordinate to we feel, I mean we really feel it! with the kind of energy and enthusiasm that we over counted during the Romney campaign, we feel that we just need to swoop into these countries and explain how destroying the environment is in their best interests. Yeah it'll be hard to impress many of these countries that have actual environmental regulations that makes ours look like sad toothless energy industry inside jokes but that'll make our inevitable victory all the more sweeter.

"Look, George, the environment has been around for millions of years, but we've only had the petroleum industry for under 200. . . . So just who has got their 'priorities on all wrong'?"
