Hilarity DuJour

Laurie David, the left wing lear jet liberal, left Larry David to marry a Republican. And it gets better. This holier-than-thou eco-freak is one of the worst hypocrites in the so called green movement.

Laurie David reviles SUV owners as “terrorist enablers.” She has paid for television commercials demanding higher mileage standards for cars and trucks. She owns and operates the Web site, StopGlobal-Warming.com.

Her message: “There’s something that we can all do about it.” In her many media interviews, Laurie David details her own contributions to the cause: She uses only recycled paper products and she has made her two children take shorter showers.

Now back to our celebrity chitchat. Note again what Mrs. David’s new amour does for a living. He’s a builder, specifically the builder of Mrs. David’s new 25,000-square foot house on Martha’s Vineyard. That’s a bigger house even than her friend Al Gore’s. Gore’s Tennessee house uses 20 times as much energy as the national average. And he only owns one house—the Davids own two.

Fuel consumption for electricity production is the largest single source of carbon emissions in the United States.

Larry David had the best comeback. When asked by reporters for reaction to the divorce, he answered, “I went home and turned all the lights on.”

Stupidity of the Day

Once again, the negativity drones see nothing but doom and gloom when its not even much of an issue. The world isn’t “drying out”. Most of the planet is covered with water. Technology to create drinkable water is constantly improving and becoming cheaper.

So called “educated elites” have to be some of the stupidest people on earth. They end up causing most of the problems they claim they want to solve. 

Goodbye 24

Last season they jumped about 30 sharks. This coming season, sounds like the end of what was once a great show.

From “An Inconvenient Truth” to popularizing the Prius, Hollywood has helped lead the way on some environmental issues. One of the latest initiatives: Cool Change, Fox’s company-wide program to reduce the network’s impact on global warming. As part of that effort, the seventh season of “24” will take steps to reduce and offset the carbon emissions from the show’s production, with the goal of having the season finale be entirely carbon-neutral.

...

The “24” page at Fox.com now features energy conservation tips and a public service announcement about global warming featuring Kiefer Sutherland; more information will be posted when the show airs in January. Plus, climate change will be incorporated into the series’ plot (which just might scare some viewers into taking action).

I guess I’ll be watching Heroes next season instead.
