- It's commonly believed on the Right that the "green lobby", a massive boondoggle funded by mindless ex-hippies who now feed hungrily off the corporate teat they claim to so despise, is vastly larger than the fossil fuel lobby, which only exists to promote entirely sensible legislation that happens to align with the legitimate business interests of the fossil fuel companies, who only want what's best for America.

pages in production
