A Complex Greeting from John and Teresa "Heinz" Kerry

Nothing is ever simple when it comes to John Kerry.
The senator from Massachusetts and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sent out 75,000 Christmas cards with pictures of trees at each season. The Kerrys gushed over their "gratitude for the beauty of these trees and the life they represent."
But it didn't end there.
The card came in an odd-looking envelope, one of those with a return-mail flap and instructions to send it to . . . well, to a recycling company, so "it can be made into new carpet tile."
Carpet tile?
We want a "world without waste . . . where every product either returns safely to the soil or becomes a new product."

The Christmas Card came with a To Do List...
"1. Remove this panel and insert it along with the card into the envelope. 2. Expose adhesive strip and fold the flap over to seal the envelope. 3. Drop this mailer into any U.S. mailbox." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/03/AR2007010301545_2.html

Okay, why send the card out in the first place? It seems like the only purpose of sending it was to have it recycled.

What the heck is wrong with tossing the card and envelope in the regular paper-recycling pile after New Years?
Makes you wonder if he's got a kickback from the Carpet Tile folks.
Kerry is just plain weird.

"Recycle" is the key word....as in recycling Kerry's bid to become President.

How much fuel is burned to mail this card to a recycling facility? How much ketchup has to be consumed in order to make enough money to mail this card to a recycling facility?
Compare this to the microscopic environmental benefit of recycling the card.
This is just stupid enviro-weenie posturing.

So that's why the Ketchup Queen married that big pile of shiite!

Don't forget who paid for those cards to be sent. At .39 each postage, Kerry's franking privileges for those cards cost the taxpayers around $30K.

Typical libs, never thinking about unintended consequences. Now people are going to waste gasoline, add to evil global warming, time, possibly plow into a line of shoppers at the mall because they're in a hurry to do jfk's bidding, or they leave the stove on and burn down the house.... any number of things could go wrong just because jfk just can't say "Merry Christmas" and be done with it

This has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a very long time. Does anyone really take these people seriously--or do they just keep them around for their entertainment value? They almost seem like caricatures of people on the left.

Nature worship through the environmental movement.
It's by design these pagans fasten themselves like leeches to Christian holidays. It's a recruitment technique.
I can picture Jon and Teresa dancing around a redwood tree by moonlight clad in flowing diaphonous rainment.

Can't you just see this "politically correct" "holiday" card, with a Pristine scene of beautiful trees, ironically made of same such trees, with instructions to recycle into Carpet tile...hahaha.

He wishes this was true for Standard Form 180.

Let's see... 75,000 x $0.39 = $29,250 for original mail-out. Another $29,250 for return re-mail. Estimated cost per greeting card $0.25 each x 75,000 = $18,750. Total cost of greeting equals $77,250.
Arbor Day donation anyone?
