| The $8 million dollar "simple man" |
"Growing up the son of a sawmill worker I learned nothing's more important than a man's word." Robert Bentley
That didn't last long and my how your nose does groweth Governor.
Before viewing the following video clip, let's keep in mind that a biofuels plant was just announced by Alabama Governor "you will respect my authority" Bentley for the Boligee area of Greene County, Alabama. The deal has been in the works for two years.
Every US taxpayer is on the hook to the tune of $250 million to experiment with Cellulosic Ethanol thanks to the USDA passing out OUR money like candy to uber rich billionaires, hedge fund company investors and the French oil company Total, to come up with gasoline for one dollar a gallon.
It will never happen.
It's over-hyped, it's playing on climate change fever and it pays select interests very well with OUR money!
Never mind that Coskata already has a Pittsburgh location close to the GM plant it's researching CE for, and that they claimed to "have fuel online by 2009" (didn't happen), let's go build another plant courtesy of the US taxpayer, greedy Alabama politicians and special interests. We'll prop up our Monsanto buddies in the process with that fine, temperate Alabama climate that's perfect for genetically modified switchgrass and trees and some unsuspecting hick farmers will also get a federal hand out for planting Monsanto's wicked weeds.
(More on that here.)
It's one big fleece job being set up in West Alabama, period, end of story.
Monsanto has been sneaking around Auburn University for a number of years and have firmly entrenched themselves in the agricultural programs. One person links all of this together: Bentley's Transition Team communications director, the (we hope) incomparable Stephen "Steve" E. Bradley, who lobbies for Monsanto and knows a thing or two about verbal slight of tongue and clandestine operations, among his other "talents."
And Bentley picked him and his BARD buddies to lead his transition into the governorship.
Bentley claimed, at the last "goobernatorial" debate, that Boligee was only good for "raising fish and big deer" not for a "biotech company."
Either he was lying then to appeal to a particular voting block, or he's lying now by making it appear this just all of a sudden materialized and Boligee, in the short span of three months, is now the perfect place for a biotech project.

There is no way in hell he came up with that biotech reference last October without knowing something about the project.
How about an explanation from the "I am upright man" of his word"?
Word to the wise governor, you're playing with some dangerously crafty men who can chew a good "Badtist" up and spit him out without batting an eye and you're in way over your head, but you're just not quite smart enough to figure that out.
Better watch your bass Doc or you'll wind up as a bunk-mate of Langford or Scrushy before it's all over with.

OMG hotdamn, well lookee there...HE'S A BIG LIAR and a FRAUD!
ReplyDeleteHe won't make it to the end of his term. He's pissed in the eye of everybody and he's barely in office!
Hope you saved a copy of that Max.
ReplyDeleteGamblestash may take it down now that he's in Bentley's graces.
You know I think I'll save a copy myself. Just in case...
I love it! Get 'em!
You betcha we did, before we put it up.
ReplyDeleteTranscript and audio too.
MAX & WINGER
You can raise big mules and a lot of bull too.
ReplyDeleteSpur damnit, you always take my lines...
ReplyDeleteDoes the good Doc wear boots? If he doesn't he best start.
I would be willing to bet Shelby and Bachus, porkers that they are, are up to their necks in this quagmire of an idea too.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell does that mean "we're different up here in north Alabama?" He's not from north Alabama! But you can bet he was talking to a crowd that probably included some avid hunters and fishermen.
ReplyDeleteHe's a damn fool who believes his own hype and a bad liar. I've never trusted this clown.
Chickens are coming home to roost these days aren't they? Or should I say mules are coming to the barn? You picked him you idiots that voted for him and now maybe you see the wisdom in the phrase "buyer's remorse."
ReplyDeleteHe's a RINO straight up.
"You can raise fish and you can raise big deer"
ReplyDeleteSo all you redneck, good ol' boy wood stompers can just go ahead and vote for me. Ain't none of you smart enough to figure out that everything I say and do for the next four years will be a big ol' lie anyways.
He royally pissed off the old guard when hired Sparks (McMillan hiring Zorn was strictly a cover move) and don't think those boys aren't pow wowing how to get Big Luther into Bentley's stall.
ReplyDeleteYou're right on with him being in way over his head and it'll cost him sooner or later.
After looking at pictures and video of the $40 million Pittsburgh facility the first thing that came to my mind were the $700 gov't hammers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a prime example of wasteful taxpayer spending at its worst and seems to be more about rob, rob, rob than jobs, jobs, jobs. Alabama can cut our children's education funds, claiming "we have no choice" but when it comes to wealthy businessman's ideas, who don't need the money, we just hand it over.
Makes zero sense.
In a 2008 story from ABC a family in LA shows how they were completely self sufficient and making their own gasoline from vegetable oil for, wait for it.....ONE DOLLAR A GALLON!
ReplyDeleteNobody gave them millions to do it.
Dervaes family one dollar a gallon gas
Words cannot express how this makes me feel. We have yet another stupid governor, the corruption continues, there will be no ethics much less ethics reform and the beat goes on. It makes me angry, but this is also so sad. Max, you have removed ALL doubt. Thanks. There is nothing quite like knowing.
ReplyDeleteSo what do we call him now....
ReplyDeleteFob Bentley or (that dog won't) Hunt Bentley?
Looks like he learned well from Bradley & Co.
Eeeewww!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that pose? His "I'm bringin' sexy back look? Yuck!
