Back when he was running things over at Goldman Sachs, Hank Paulson came under fire from a group of conservative shareholder activists who claimed he was sacrificing profits in order to pursue his own personal environmentalist agenda. And when George Bush nominated him for the Treasury Secretary post, many conservatives wondered aloud whether Paulson was too "green" for the job.
But just because Republican activists don't trust you, doesn't mean the environmentalist extremists are singing your praises. Recently we stumbled upon a posting by what seem to be Portland based animal rights activists who find it best to put their arguments into what looks to be poetic form. Here, for instance, is a short item arguing that Paulson didn't do such a good job juggling his responsibilities as Chairman of the Nature Conservancy and head of Goldman Sachs. (We added the line-breaks because it seemed to read clearer like that.)

Did anyone notice that the poem says that O'Connor is dead?
I guess the author was too busy writing freeform poetry to actually notice the current events going on in the world.

Jesus, that was terrible. I know dirty hippies are dirty hippies because they suck at life, but if you're gonna be artsy freaks they could have the decency to at least not suck at poetry.
That was painful to read.

There is nothing worse than a poor artsy hippie type who actually believes this crap (on the flip side, there is nothing better than a fake artsy girl with a massive trust fund from Daddy).
The writer did have a point though about "war profiteers who bomb animals". Finally, someone is drawing attention to the real victims.

Paulson didn't introduce cattle to any Nature Conservancy preserves. That's nutty. He was chairman of their board, not the director of a project in Nebraska. Good grief.
