What The Frack?

Anyone who has seen the film "Gasland" or has a lick of common sense, knows the damage that Fracking can do to a local environment.




As the right is want to do, when something comes out this damaging to their cause, they need to find as many people who are willing to pretend to be experts and say whatever is needed to discredit the film in the eyes of the general public.   

In our current culture of greed, and because the right pays so well(if you do what they tell you to), there is no shortage of options to repeat the cycle for this topic.  The latest is Ann McElhinney.  Remember her name as you will hear it again and again from our "friends" on the right as the rush to give Gogebic Taconite everything they ask for

She and her film will be paraded around Wisconsin, quoted and misquoted on the Assembly floor and a bill giving everything the Gogebic Taconite asks for will be passed.  Then Ann and her crew will collect their money and go home, some beautiful areas of Northern WI will be devastated, tourist dollars will dry up, the mining company will get what they can and leave and the republicans will blame the democrats for the devastation.  

Lather, Rinse, Repeat!  

Beautiful Lake Front Property For Sale!
So before Ann joins Robin and Scotty for the Fracking is great tour, know that she ACTUALLY said this( I expect Frank Luntz to get ahold of her and clean this quote up before she gets to far along in her tour(emphasis mine)):

 “One of the biggest lies in Gasland is that when they started fracking in your neighborhood, if you light a match, your water’s going to go on fire,” she said, explaining that in certain parts of the United States the water has always been flammable. “And you know what it means that you have flammable water? It means that you’re really, really, really, really, really, really lucky, because you have loads and loads of oil and natural gas.

mmmmmm,  Tasty!  



Talk about winning the lottery lucky, who wouldnt want to be able to drink that on a daily basis!
