As I was driving this afternoon I was being a good liberal and listening to NPR. After the usual 20 minutes of Iraq, they happened to be doing a story on the backlash movement against the Barnett Shale gas drilling in Tarrant County in TX. Given my dad and Uncle Barry (shout out to you both!) both have property that is involved in this project, it peaked my interest.
I could go into all the details, but you can read it
here. More important is my new favorite quote, spoken by a Fort Worth contractor with quite a thick drawl (Dan Roberts). He said:
"Doesn't matter how much lipstick you put on it, it's still a pig."
I love that. I really do.
(fyi, the transcript doesn't get it right)
