Posted on November 2, 2012 | 1 CommentBill McKibben said hurricane-type disasters, like what slammed the East Coast: NYC's worst since its founding in the 1600's, should be named for major oil companies flooding the GOP with ginormous super pac contributions hoping to elect Romney and his anti-global warming pals, via Citizens United super pacs. -
