T.Boone Pickens

Is it T. Boone or Tee Bone Pickens? By financing the Swift Boat attackers of John Kerry, Pickens did a great disservice to this country, promoting Dubya for President, a prime candidate for our worst President ever. His stance on more issues than I care to iterate here, including torture, loss of privacy, stem cell research, etc., etc., etc., makes me shudder every time I think about him.

But wait. Tee Boone is finally doing something good for this country. Maybe he'll end up, not just a fat cat who doesn't give a damn about the country or anything else besides his enormous wealth, but as someone who did love his country after all. He is an oil man, you know. Cut from the same cloth as "Haliburton Darth" Cheney and Dubya. Surely he isn't just thinking of cornering the wind market, is he?

What he is doing is investing large sums in wind energy in Texas and that part of the country called the wind belt. That has to be good for the country. He proposes to turn Texas into the wind generating capital of the world. Has our fearless leader ever done anything as significant? People who are richer than God got their money from selling things to us schmucks like gasoline (T. Boone), software (Bill Gates) or insurance (Warren Buffet). It's completely appropriate that they give a little back. How many fancy mansions or huge yachts can one truly enjoy in a lifetime? The philanthropic endeavrs of the three men mentioned above are refreshing to say the least.

Keep it up guys.
