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.

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.

"We want a world without waste"

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.

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?

Directions so simple, even a U.S. Soldier in Iraq could do it...

1. Remove this panel and insert it along with the card into the envelope. Soldiers, ask your Sergeant for training if needed.
2. Expose adhesive strip and fold the flap over to seal the envelope. Soldiers, ask a buddy if you get confused.
3. Drop this mailer into any U.S. mailbox. Soldiers, do not put these into Iraqi mailboxes. If you'd studied in school, you wouldn't even be able to find an Iraqi mailbox.

-John Effin' Kerry, Candidate for U.S. President

Check the waste this hypocrite SOB has in his many mansions. Let us consider the resources per inhabitant as an index of waste and target those who waste the most.

We want a "world without waste . . . where every product either returns safely to the soil or becomes a new product."

Care to be the first two volunteers to return to the soil?
