Hastert. Dennis Hastert. Might help people get your joke.

I think part of the problem is NO ONE wants these pipelines to go through their state (or area or however you want to frame it). We fought against one in Nebraska that would’ve gone over the Ogallala Aquifer (one of the world’s largest).

Thanks for your recap of this awful situation.

Did you perhaps mean “second person plural,” often referred…

Worked for King George V and Queen Mary. And Joseph and Rose Kennedy.

I’m really not all that familiar with the symptoms of autism. Do they include posting the same paragraph three times in the comment section of the same story, by any chance?
