Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 16, 2009

I thought Jimmy’s last name was “Crater.”

OK but before you leave, one question for Mr G: “what’s the carbon footprint of this car?” :)

According to Robert Kenedy jr. and Al Gore, conservation and cutting down one’s carbon footprint is for “the other guy”. “Do as I say, not as I do.” At least Ed Begley jr. walks the walk as well as talks the talk. Funny, it seemed to me that the only pollution not confronted by “Capitian Planet” was microwave pollution. Gee, I wonder why? Something to do about microwaves as responsible to cable/satilite transmission?

Yeah those “green” liberal lefties don’t love nature like George W. Bush. Now that he’s out of office Bush can go back to his ranch and enjoy the fresh air and get back to nature like he used to before. Trimming brush, wearing his jeans and that hat, and being a real nature-loving cowboy.

Hate to break the new to you TheFurnance, but the Bush’s are not going back to the ranch. They’ll be going to the big city.

You do realize that Al Gore is not the only person telling us to conserve. But, then again, shoot the messenger is pretty much part of the mantra of the American Right….

There is no Carbon Footprint. Notice how there’s no exhaust, or exhaust pipe. It’s electric, and apparently, a hover car.

Wait, you mean George W. Bush bought the ranch in 1999 as a stage prop and sold it before he even left office in late 2008? Wow, if I was a Republican I’d sure be upset for being conned into thinking he was a real cowboy.

I’m not shooting the messenger, just pointing out the irony of flying around the world telling people to cut down on fossil fuel use. I do find it humorous that when gas prices went up, small cars started selling, when they go down, the big ones are selling (what few ARE selling anyway). People don’t get it, do they?

mrprongs Too funny – maybe that IS it …. I want me one of those hover cars too!

Gore gives a bad name to Dems. At least hes a politician. They ALL give a bad name to their parties.
