Okay, that whole "Earth Hour" thing was pretty queer. Last Saturday between 8:30 and 9:30 everyone was supposed to turn off all electricity for the hour, in some kinda "Hey planet Earth, we're thinkin' 'bout you" gesture to the environment. Whatever. Had I known about it on Saturday, I might have turned off a light or two. But I wouldn't be joining in singing Kum-bah-yah with any earth huggers.
And then I see this. Apparently, Ann Coutlers in-house Clit Cleaner (Hi Mom, thanks for reading) has purchased a seat on the Oregon State legislature. Matt Wingard, bag-o-smug-fuck. The ultimate republican neo-con not only won't get on the bus that we should acknowledge climate change, he takes up legislative time to mock "Earth Hour". While, across the globe, some people are taking the tiniest part to help, he suggests we celebrate every electrical invention ever created. "Turn on your lights, the TV, go to a movie or a play" Hell, why not burn that pile of old tires and show the kids how to make their own chloro-flourocarbons? Oh, what jolly fun! Did you know that you can charge an electric car from the kinetic energy created by the spinning dials on Matts electric meter?
Of course, he didn't come up with this idea himself. Or probably any other. It started from the conservative "think tank" (ie: anyone caught thinking will be drowned in the tank out back) the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The created it in reaction to Earth Hour and titled their celebration the Human Achievement Hour. Or HAH. What an acrimonious acronym. (Ba-da-boom! Triple word score!) Why are the Conservatives so opposed to conserving?
