Congressmembers, are you too busy being indentured servants to corporations to find love?

Lobbyists, did that pickup line about healthcare flop with your beloved Senator?ย  Well, have you heard the one about โ€œclean coalโ€ yet?

Polluters, are you too shy to admit the things youโ€™d like to do to Rep. Joe Barton?ย 

Well, you are all in luck.ย  Today marks the launch of PolluterHarmony.com, a new online matchmaking service designed to help dirty polluters and their lobbyists find that perfect politician to live forever in holy mmmโ€ฆ

Forget Citizens United, PolluterHarmony knows all about uniting citizens, like the match made in heaven between Koch Industries and Sen. James Inhofe.

Speaking of below the Beltwayโ€ฆ PolluterHarmony knows that Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Rrrow!-AK) likes it dirty, as dirty as it gets in fact.ย  Sheโ€™s on the receiving end of $111,296 in contributions from coal interests in the 111th Congress.ย 

Kert Davies, director of PolluterWatch.org, the masterminds behind PolluterHarmony, notes in his blog on Huffington Post that PolluterHarmony.com is โ€œa dating service dedicated to helping polluter industry lobbyists, CEOโ€™s and propagandists match up with willing public officials, making it even easier to buy and sell influence, sabotage global warming solutions and derail our clean energy future.โ€

Wow, I never imagined that such connections could be made any easier than they alreadyย are.ย 

PolluterHarmony proves that anything is possible!ย 

So, all you D.C. polluticians, why wait for all that snow to melt?ย  โ€œStart your long-term collusion today!โ€
