Remember these from the SAT’s? This one is presented by InstaPundit:
UPDATE: Related: Environmentalists in the pay of the gas industry:
To put the $26.1 million in context, compare the funding for the Heartland Institute, about which one critic stated, “That the Heartland Institute is effectively acting as a front group for big oil and energy, raising money from companies which are threatened by climate policies, so that it can essentially do their dirty work in undermining legislation that threatens their corporate bottom line.” Heartland received a grand total of $676,500 from Exxon between 1998-2006 and $200,000 from the Koch Foundation in 2011. If that amount makes Heartland a “front group for big oil and energy,” what does $26 million it make the Sierra Club for natural gas?
That’s different. We know their hearts are pure, no matter what our lying eyes say.

Here is a guy who was combatting the high cost of oil, his own way. I love his name, any relation to the original?
Christopher, you’re exactly right. It’s only a crime when the “bad guys” get something – no matter how paltry.
Like Rather’s cooked up documents. “Fake but accurate” is just fine if the doctored stuff is aimed at eeeeeeeeeevil corporations/gas companies/conservative think tanks, etc., etc.
Environmentalism is a religion. It has a deity (mother earth), dogma (the earth is warming/cooling/deteriorating), prophets (Al Gore and earlier Rachel Carson), rituals (Earth Day), minor saints (the snail darter), and badges proving membership (the Prius). It’s a faith-system. To be a real religion, it only lacks two things: truth and a God.
