Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Olympic-Sized FAIL"

From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist...

OK, folks, time for some good old straight editorial:

"Olympic-Size FAIL"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2835

"Current incident estimates published by the company say that 9,120 US 
barrels (383,040 gallons) or 'approximately half the size of an 
Olympic-sized swimming pool' of crude oil were released into an 
impacted area of 2,500 square yards..."
     — Sputnik International, 11.01.2019

This past week saw the latest — the LATEST — rupture and spill on 
TransCanada's Keystone Pipeline, this time to the tune of 380,000 
gallons near the town of Edinburg, North Dakota... a big ol' 
Olympic-sized pool of Fail. Of course, it happened pretty much as 
predicted by the thousands of people who spoke up, protested, and 
tried to stop the pipeline from being built, and who are now 
designated as "terrorists" by the US Government.
