John Cornyn Is A Fossil Fool
You may have heard that today was Fossil Fools Day, a day of protest and civil disobedience against the dirty influence of the crude oil economy, with demonstrations held all around the world. As the organizers of the international event described it, the idea was to have people “Pull a prank that packs a punch”, wherever they may be.
Was it ever successful! Hundreds of events in places big and small around the world took place, and the entire system that keeps crude oil flowing and burning felt the effects.
I wanted, in recognition of this tremendous activist occasion, to give a special award to a special fossil fool. I hereby grant Republican Senator John Cornyn the title of The Grand High Fossil Fool Of The United State Senate
Why does John Cornyn get this distinction? It all comes down to dirty money – soaked in crude oil.
In the 2008 election cycle so far, the campaign to re-elect John Cornyn has received more money from polluting big oil and gas corporations than any other Senate campaign. Senator Cornyn has received $349,780 so far, and there’s a lot of time for even more big checks from the grubby hands of oil company executives.
It’s a distinction that John Cornyn ought to be ashamed of. Yet, Cornyn shows no sense of shame at all. That’s all the more reason for voters to reject the Cornyn Fossil Fool agenda.
