   Harrison Ford just had his chest publicly shaved to show his solidarity with the “painful exfoliation of Mother Earth’s rain forests.”

   Oh and by the way, the same entertainment show that I watched also mentioned that Harrison has a new movie coming out this month.

   Enviro-friendly causes are some of the hottest, most lucrative PR media plays out there right now.

   I’m inclined to believe that AlGore, Sting, Harrison Ford and the myriad of other high net worth, liberal celebrities do what they do for the money, and the true sentiments of the cause be damned.

   How else to describe the utter hypocrisy of their hushed lifestyles?

   Stories about someones carbon footprint bore me.

   Much as the idea of continually accepting Al Gores flawed premises continue to bore us all.

   Anyone accepting this nonsense now, really is a flat-earther.

   Try telling the folks rioting in poor countries how they should calm down because rioting increases their carbon footprint. Tell them they are leading the way by allowing us to divert neeeded foodstores so we may reduce “our” carbon footprint.

   The dosen’t need less capitalism, it needs more.

   Sting began his “green” philosophy years ago when he started in the music business. By shortening his name, less hot air is produced when referring to him. Just think about how much CO2 is averted by only speaking one syllable.

   I think Ed Begley Jr. is probably in the same league too.

   But what I really think is, with all this green-this, green-that, biofuels, etc., is going to backfire in a few years when the Earth’s natural and cyclical weather system turns in the opposite direction to cooling again (if it hasn’t already started to do so).

   You know something’s up when even the liberal rag like Time magazine did am expose on Biofuels a couple of weeks ago.

   I’m sure the greenies will come up with some excuse that cooling was caused by global warming.

   Whatever.

    The liberal argument whenever such hypocrisy is exposed is so funny: they’re doing it for our sake because the lessoning of our carbon footprints due to their charitable work is greater than their increased carbon footprint necessary to get their righteous message out.

    The funniest part of that is that it’s a prime example of the elitism they supposedly don’t have.

    I’ve always thought the hollywood elites hit a point where they’ve achieved the money and fame and discovered it isn’t nearly as satisfying as they’d thought it would be. The they discover the cause – the big important idea that will show that they are not just someone who repeats lines on camera that someelse wrote for them. They’ll show that they really do diserve the money and fame and that they care. Then they become consumed with it and don’t apply any scrutiny if the data supports it. I rember in the mid-80s when Ted Danson was pronouncing the world’s oceans to be dead in 10 years.

    BTW – last night’s crab legs were delicious.

    The hypocrisy is overwhelming. The evil Bushitler actually does live in a eco-friendly, highly energy-efficient home in Texas.

    The algore worshippers say we are all equal…sure….but some of us are more equal than others. Anyone else sick of the double standards? Wright condemns the grasping middle class as he lives in a Million $$ plus home. Ayers has his daddy’s megabucks as he espouses anarchy against the govt. and lauds Marxism. Boo Hoo Obambi’s wife was an affirmative action college co-ed and spews venom about how tough her life is. If there were a just God the whole lot of them would be struck down by some hideous malady more painful than the socialism/marxism/tax to death they wish on others. I’m hoping the dems will compromise and have an algore/obama ticket so the idiots that buy into their BS suffer painfully economically. Of course that means the rest of us too. Might as well as Juan McCain will show compromise and compassion toward his esteemed lib friends. Think about it….. open borders, climate change legitimacy….judges less radical than an Alito conservative.

    It was once said that “history is like a wheel. What happened before, will happen again.” Today, instead of buying indulgences, to make us feel better and be forgiven for past and future sins, from the Catholic church, we are buying “carbon credits” from the Al Gore Church for the same reasons. I’m waiting for a new Martin Luther.

    I was once riding with a guy who was very proud of the fact that he and others were instrumental in keeping Wal-Mart from coming to our small town. Because of them all of us in the town had to drive 100 miles to get to the closest Wal-Mart.

    You’re not going to believe where we were riding to…..correct, Wal-Mart. When I asked him about his hypocrisy he couldn’t seem to find an appropriate rationalization and refused to talk about it.

    So what’s the price of one unit of carbon offsets (one metric ton of CO-2)? $1.63? In Europe it is higher, more like $30/unit. I’m fairly certain that Sting and his wife do not mind donating to that pagan god.

    My mistake, the price is fluctuates around $4.00/unit. So a car getting 30mpg driving 12,000 miles per year would pay around $1.63 per month or $19.50 per year.

    Either way, they, and most of their ilk are Gulfstream liberal.

    Ed Begley, Jr. also is a “green” celebrity. Granted, I couldn’t tell you the last movie he was in (I think it was 2003′s “A Mighty Wind”), but at least he too walks the walk.

    Seriously. Unless Sting and his wife have learned how to bi-locate (unless anyone can bi-locate), who needs seven houses? I’m more than thrilled we have 3-bedrooms…

They’re a couple of sad old new-agers, that’s all they are.

I mean, I get that they are rich and want to love high-class, but there are mansions and castles all over the world that can be RENTED for a duration.

    I heard a great explanation of how Global Warming can cause Global Cooling. This person was serious. His reasoning went like this:

    Melting polar ice cools ocean currents which in turn circulate around the globe and cause global temperatures to drop.

    But it never occurred to this person to ask an obvious question. If global temperatures are dropping, what is causing the ice to melt faster than normal?

    I guess we’ll find out if his theory is true once all the polar ice has melted and global temperatures begin to rise unabated. If not, and we really are headed toward a new ice age, I guess we’ll have to thank Al Gore and Sting for their giant carbon footprints. They might have helped keep the earth a millionth of a degree warmer. I can see them now asking us all to burn more coal and increase our carbon footprints to warm the earth – Not!

    “…extolling the benefits of organic and locally-grown food.”

    Why are these “greenies” always trying to cram organic and lo-grown foods down our throats?

    Haven’t they already made starvation a real enough possibility for much of the third world’s populations, with their push for bio-fuels and wildlife reserve land grabs – do they have to do it to us too with organic farming?

    For example: Instead of producing food crops that can efficiently feed many, thanks to applications of proven safe chemical fertilizers and insecticides, organic farmers prefer to use animal dung to produce crops that are so small and malformed (due to a lack of fertilizers and bug repellents) in comparison to their commercially grown counterparts, they [the crops] can barely feed a family of four.

    And as for locally grown crops, if you can trust that the plant seedlings were not germinated in someone’s recently used chamber pot and watered using emptied anti-freeze containers, then have at them. But excuse me if, in the name of being green, I choose not to subject my family to such dubious food products.
