Not to mention the fact that Obama will of course emphasize the maximization of natural gas, a cheaper, cleaner fuel.

So fuck it. Rather than restructure or adapt, like other companies do... let's just fire all these bastards. After all, that is what sound business practices would dictate. Right Lyle?
I haven't had a look at his books, I can't tell you. If he REALLY wanted to "spite Obama" he'd close up shop, fire everyone and leave the country and put any investments in offshore accounts that the IRS can't get their hands on right?

Natural gas eh? Which calls for drilling and fracking? Yeah I'm certain his granola eating hippy fanbase will love that


"Granola eating hippy fanbase"? LOL... Lyle, you're too much.

But the Murray fellow isn't all THAT bad. After all, he DID have a prayer posted on the web. He must think God is a Republican. But hey... in the prayer he asks for forgiveness for his decision. I'm sure that's a great consolation to the over 150 employees with perfectly good jobs that were immediately fired.
