Gah? This makes no logical sense whatsoever. WHATSOEVER.

Wasn't this fool just named a living national treasure too?

I went to school with his daughter! She was terribly sweet and nice, but he...wasn't.

Um. The CIA hate Greenpeace. Yeesh.

beoweasel March 20 2012, 15:18:02 UTC

Yeah, the CIA doesn't like anybody that doesn't agree 100% with US interests.

Well, to be fair, the CIA supports people/organization/countries that they hate all the time when it proves beneficial to them.

tabaqui March 20 2012, 20:04:05 UTC

That's true, yes. But i really doubt they're giving Greenpeace six million bucks.

If they care so much aboard, how come they don't give a damn when they get home? That's where your logic ends, sir.

For those of you with time on your hands and a need for lulz, I quite recommend the #stuffclivepalmerknows hashtag on twitter. Apparently Clive knows who put the bop in the bop shoo bop, among other things.
