Uncle Voy's low-calorie Fracking Margarita.
two shots Tequila
two shots Marguerita Mix
one can Diet Squirt
one shot Grenadine
mix in blender with ice, to crush the ice and leave a smooth, foamy blend.
And whatever you do, don't add any fracing fluid. we're not idiots, are we?
John "Frackenlooper"is a disgrace to his office. He does not represent the citizens of Colorado. His constituents are named Halliburton, Shlumberger, Anadarko, and Exxon, to name a few.
Someone please primary this oil and gas toady so we can get a real Democrat in that chair..
Good luck with that. He's the most popular governor since Gov. J. H. Christ, don't you read the Denver Post?
No, I don't….and, if he doesn't stop fracking around he may not keep that status. This issue is not something you can just brush off and ignore. Yeah, I know I'm dreaming, JeffcoBlue, but Hick is doin' us dirty…no getting around it.
1) Products of the "food industry" are not necesarily food.
2) Such products come with no guarantee of their safety for human consumption (see xanthan gum .)
3) As mentioned above, safety of one product used for a certain application does not guarantee the safety of all products in that category.
If fracking fluid is so safe, then let's require disclosure of all its contents in all applications and remove the industry's exemption from environmental regulation.
Yum, love that flavor of chlorine before it's injected into the earth…
Don't be silly. We're boosting the stomach pump industry!
At what point does he begin listening to important constituencies, or is he looking past Colorado?
I imagine that he's a bit preoccupied suckling from the natural gas coffers to be bothered.
When Morgan Carroll primaries his sorry ass….
From the Fort Collins Coloradoan article, Pressurized oil-water mix spewing from broken well near Fort Collins. Let's see him take a drink of *that*.
Oops, forgot to add what was from that article 🙂
"Belly up to the bar, true believers. The first round's on me!"
Looks like this is not the first round of drinks from this company. In the same article, now updated:
*Seven* spills already in 2013. I give them credit, they are certainly working hard!
Just remember: Fracking doesn't kill groundwater, people fracking kill groundwater.
As we learn today of frack fluid spewing from a Colorado well for over a day…frack fluid that is toxic, that if Mr. Hickenlooper sat around and drank with his oil and gas and Halliburton buddies would not allow him to go to Congress and misrepresent the real fears of many of his constitients and the Colorado public, by telling industry-inspired red-herring anecdotes. It is ironic that he is there arguing against any stronger regulations than his commission would allow (which does not require or even encourage 'clean stim') and against any federal regulations (which might require BMPs from one state–for instance for nontoxic fracks) across state lines. It is hard to see this as anything other than doing industry bidding, IMO. It raises real questions. The Constituion in this state is easy to amend. It may be time to tie the Governor's hands in these matters and give more poweer to local communites.
Wow. Hickenlooper was introduced on the committee by Mark Udall (D). Hickenlooper is a Democrat, but look at the radicals at Colorado Pols attack him just for saying what he thinks.
You are out of touch even from your fellow Dems, Pols. How does that feel?
That's debatable.
Roger that…if Hick won't allow his commission to regulate these companies, then they need to be marginalized by allowing the communities themselves to do so.
Boy oh boy, I'm with you Duke.
I told you earlier my wife and I know a family in "Gasland".
This shit makes people and animals sick. It gives people and animals cancer. It fouls the water, it's inconcievable that this could be happening in the United States right now. The EPA is foiled at every turn by industry hacks and allies in government.
I'm with you. If this chicken shit doesn't have the testicular fortitude to simply do his job, if he thinks protecting water and the people that drink and use it will submarine his carreer, then there are two things to understand.
First, a guy like that isn't worthy of representing the people. Maybe he's an upgrade from the loon tancredo, but that's like winning the world's tallest small person contest.
Secondly, the care of the land, the decisions to frack or not, must be left to the people that will be directly affected by those decisions.
A ritual. Like a secret handshake in some cool fraternity. Hes in with the in-crowd
