Re: [Biofuel] RE: Turd Blossom
Greetings, Thanks! The Houston Renewable Energy group does as much as the Austin group does. And there are many of us that are sustainable farmers. We have a large strictly grass fed group of farmers, locally. We now have legal raw milk sales. Lots of good things that are not happening in Austin. But then we are just blockheads.

Re: [Biofuel] RE: Turd Blossom
Oops! That was a stupid throw away on my part. I really did not mean that all Texans are blockheads. I've spend enough time there and have enough family there that I've noticed what I call Texas-head. Big cars, big hair, oil is GREAT and let's not forget Kay Bailey Hutchinson. - quote Kay Bailey Hutchison: We attacked Iraq because they're brown, and so they must be terrorists. and: isn't she famous for saying what has Europe ever done? Did they invent the car? (yes) Did they invent the airplane? (yes) - this is from memory - a Molly Ivins column? Maybe I should have been clearer. Many Texans are blockheads - particularly the ones I am related to! As for the rest, just look at the lege or the Whitehouse. It was a stupid remark and I aplogize if I offended you. Besides, isn't there a state law that all Democrats HAVE to live in Austin? ;-) -Mike Garth Kim Travis wrote: Greetings, Thanks!

Re: [Biofuel] RE: Turd Blossom
As a sort of Texan, I can tell you a Turd Blossom is a flower that grows in an older (decomposed but still recognizable) cow heap - probably bigger and more noticeable due to the extra nutrients in the manure. It suits him to a T. I won't say he's the Devil, but if they met up he wouldn't need a translator. Andy Karpay wrote: I love that name Turd Blossom. Although it may have a different meaning in Texas, it sure seems to describe him well. Throughout this entire event the White House Administration has denied all accountability for anyone on 'their' staff. Scott McLellan has also clearly and without ambiguity announced that Turd Blossom and his boss had NO INVOLVEMENT.
