Suppose corrupt officials insisted
on billions or trillions instead of tens of thousands to do big oil's bidding.
Sort of like a corruption union.
Indeed they would be slated for execution. It all makes for a good 007 script don't you think.


A lobbyist for Duke Energy was working toward a merger with another energy giant and was found burnt to a crisp in her car at the end of her own driveway in DC this week. Her husband is a white house staffer for Obama. Truth is, this story is overshadowed by current events in Tucson.
