They banded together to force the oil companies to pay more for a good or serivce?

That sounds like UNIONISTIC SOCIALISM.

Come listen to a story about a man named John,
A poor farmer boy, whose corn crop had gone.
Had no dollars for new seed for food,
But up from the ground came a bubblin' crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Kansas tea. Saved his ass.

More like greedy god damn one percenters! The greedy farmers our gouging the masses! Fark them, fark them all. Perhaps Obama can seize their land for the greater good, like he did with GM. Seize it from the greedy Americans and sell everything to the French.

No thank you. I'll just stay down here in Florida. Beach + holiday weekend = LOTS of bikinis.


However, I do hope that you have a good time (sap) - I know I am.

It's like the oil companies think they might get to produce some oil in the near future.

Most of the targets in Kansas they're talking about are profitable only when they're fracked.

Let me tell you a story 'bout a man named John
He discovered oil, on the land he was on
Then came all the Republicans
Who stole his land, because they can

This would be a great idea for a TV series. I can see it now. The farmer gets rich and moves to Wichita. Then the fun starts!

Let me tell ya story bout a house on 34th
buncha cool guys drinkin' beers and f*ckin' whores
Then one day they were drinkin' at the bar
What do they see but a DZ in a car
Pussy, that is; poon-tang; stanky bush

Sooner than she knew it she was chattin' with the ØX
shortly thereafter they were munchin' on her box
layin on her back with her feet behind her ears,
then they flipped her over and they f*cked her up the rear
Ass, that is; back door; doggy style

When they shot their loads and they tired of her face
they kicked her out the door and they left her a disgrace
as she limped away, a tear was in her eye
The brothers shared a chuckle and said "LONG LIVE THETA CHI"

hooray for fracking and oil companies! i guess with all that extra money the farmers have now, they'll be able to pay to have drinking water shipped in once their aquifers are ruined.

As somebody who suffers from gout, I doubt anybody would want it, if they had a choice

More fracking?

Am I the only one that get's nervous when we start weakening the earth's crust on a continent with an active super-volcano?

Yup, we should take the last of the good farmland and frack it.

Hope they hurry with that bacterium that eats oil.

I'm calling shenanigans. There no way they are drilling for oil in Kansas because the Right-Wing keeps telling me that Obama isn't letting anybody drill for oil because he's trying to send gas prices up to $10 a gallon in order to get re-elected.

They'll need the 'extra' money because their farms will be useless once the fracking compounds ruin the water supply. It's been interesting to see how this has been spun and promoted starting just a few weeks ago. "Free money with new* technology and landowners can HIT THE JACKPOT!"

I really am curious which PR firm is coordinating this.

Do you really need to be a Right-WInger to understand the difference between oil production on private and state owned land versus Federal land? Oil production on Federal land is down significantly. Oil production on privately owned land and state land is up significantly. Which type of land do you think the President has the most control over?

Now listen to a story bout a man named Abdul,
A poor Bedouin, barely kept his family cool,
And then one day as he's shooting as some Jews,
And up from the ground came a bubbling crude...

enjoy...
