I think I'll start smoking again and will not remove the fat from my T-bone steak. Chicken will be eaten with skin and screw the gym.

"The president of the European commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, has been accused of hypocrisy for driving a fuel-guzzling off-road vehicle while insisting that cars must become more frugal to combat climate change"

Reminds me of someone else:

The HuffMobile

Reader Doug, who posts at FreeRepublic.com, sent this photo, which he took while covering the Sierra Club's national summit in San Francisco. The handsome, full-size sport utility vehicle pictured above is a Chevy Suburban. It was sent by the anti-SUV environmental puritans of the Sierra Club to pick up fellow, eco-zealot Arianna Huffington, who gave rousing, Bush-bashing, closing remarks at the eco-summit.

Yes, Arianna "Why I Drive a Toyota Prius" Huffington. Yes, Arianna "SUV drivers enable terrorism" Huffington.

I interviewed Sierra Club national spokesman Eric Antebi by phone yesterday, who confirmed that the group sent the SUV. He blamed an "outside contractor," which he declined to name, for the rather dissonant choice of vehicle.

"It is ridiculous," Antebi admitted. "It's something we regret and we've learned our lesson."

Curious, I asked Antebi whether any of the staff at the Sierra Club headquarters owned and drove SUVs. He stumbled and said the group didn't keep track of who drove what. It's "a personal decision," he explained. "People drive different cars for different reasons."

Well, um, exactly. Now, wouldn't it be nice if these anti-SUV green busybodies took the same attitude towards the rest of us and left our car choices alone?!

If all of the whackos that are serious about reducing global warming would simply remove the burden they are imposing on the earth by removing themselves from the physical world, we wouldn't have to worry ever again. (Or be nagged about our behavior) (I'm sorry god about that one)

Well, that and see the Cubbies win a World Series.

You sure have a wild fantasy life.

Why not dream about something more realistic?
Like a date in the afternoon with Pam Anderson. Followed by a date in the evening with Elizabeth Hurley. Followed by a nightcap with Denise Richards, who then proposes to you. Then in the morning Publishers Clearing House knocks on your door with a check for $10 million. In the afternoon you win the HGTV Dream Home. And in the evening your the single winner to the multi state powerball lottery for $350 million.

But the Cubs winning the World Series. HA!!!!

Eat drink and emit C02 or methane or BOTH!

The sign in front of the local Taco Time says, "$0.99 bean/cheese burrito. Cheapest gas in town."

My favorite offering from that Taco Time was, "Energizer Bunny Arrested -- Charged With Battery"

"THE world has just 10 years to reverse surging greenhouse gas emissions or risk runaway climate change that could make many parts of the planet uninhabitable."

The fact that the world may become uninhabitable doesn't mean that the world needs saving.

Our asses may need saving, but the world will be just fine.

More realistic would be that date in the afternoon with Pam? Trust me, if I am not dead by the time Hurley knocks on the door, then she is invited in until Denise Richards arrives, hopefully bringing another bottle of tequila and some bandaids.

I want to know something. We know that the Earth was a much warmer place at one time, like when the dinosaurs roamed.
So did the asteroid that hit cool this earth off?
Or do things work in cycles?

That's it, I'm giving up conservatism and dedicating my life to the cause of a global green government.

There was a PBS styled television program about 15 years ago with some erudite fellow bemoaning our mass destruction via pollution and overpopulation through hypothetical scenarios which would have occurred about 5 or 6 years ago.

I'd love to be able to find a copy of this garbage to show to my kids. Anybody else think they may have seen such a program?

The Mayan calendar sez we have until late December, 2012 until we're all dead. I heard it on Art Bell's show. So, it's gotta be true.

Max out those credit cards, entertain your hedonistic side and do allllll the drugs ya want until 2012!

Yaahoooo!

Doom is upon us!
