So Bill Gates is finally calling it quits and walking away from his full-time gig at the Monopoly.

According to the Austin American-Statesman, Texas gov warns that Obama’s energy policies “would be a return to the 1970s energy crisis and ‘the malaise of Jimmy Carter.’” Spoken just like the duplicitous whore of the oil industry and big business that Texas Republicans in general and slick Pretty Boy Perry in particular are and is.
