Ted Turner just opened up a restarant here in Philly where he is selling, gasp, Bison. Actually I've heard that bison is pretty good to eat, very lean, that isn't the problem. My concern for you, Ted Turner, is whether your intentions with my fair state are genuine. If you don't know, Ted has been buying up many ranch lands across the great plains, he now owns over 2 million acres, making him the largest land owner in the US. These properties are scattered all over the plains states, but he is now the single largest landowner in Nebraska and the united states of a.
This land grab of Ted's has really rilled up the feathers of the local ranchers of Cherry county in Nebraska (a large county in nebraska known mostly for the infamous butt bandit, the subject of my next expose), as he has been overpaying for the land and making it difficult for local farmers to expand their own operations. Boo hoo, right? But I think perhaps he has a different agenda. Is it coincidental that these ranch lands overlap with the Ogalala Aquifer, the largest single pool of groundwater in the country? I think ole Ted may, and I may be going out on a bit of a limb here, be part of some sort of shadowy society of overlords.
Only time will tell if Ted's intentions are good in Cherry county. but if he enters the bottled water industry I'll get a bit more worried. Or, perhaps he is the true butt bandit....

Pickens and Buffet are buying up water rights too. I think they know something is up. I wish I had some land..
GWB has bought 100,000 acres on South America's largest aquifer. Coincidentally, the U.S. doesn't have an extradition treaty with Paraguay, and U.S. officials are exempt from war crimes there.
Somehow I dont think Bush is worried. Obamanites certainly arent eager to make them pay either. They are interested in "looking to the future" instead of "applying justice" and "holding government officials to the laws they are supposed to uphold." Lets just go ahead and admit it, the executive branch is above the law, there is no recourse.
