About 4 years ago, I bought stock in a company called XTO.  At the time they were seen as a great long term play in the alternate energy field.  They are one of the leading companies in extracting natural gas with non-traditional methods.  Recently, XTO announced that we were being purchased by Exxon Mobil.  Experts [...]

The Independent Bloghorn was one of the first to identify that the global warming alarmists were shifting their laser beam focus on the soon to be extinct polar bear to other animals, like the American Pika.  For more on this, you can read Polar Bear Huggers.
