Political Irony › Late Night Political Humor

“This is kind of frightening. Al Gore told Congress last week the global warming scenario is worse than previously predicted. Worse than predicted? Wasn’t the first prediction we’re all going to fry to death? Huh? What’s worse than that? Is it going to be humid, too? Is that it?” -Jay Leno

Climate Progress » Blog Archive » Contest: On what day will Obama sign a climate bill?

I’m going to pick Earth Day next year – April 22, 2010, although I doubt the GOP would accommodate such symbolism and frankly a climate bill isn’t about saving the Earth, it’s about saving the next 50 generations from irreversible Hell and High Water. Hmm, I’m already starting to talk myself out of that date….

Oh christ. Playing african drums in front of a gaggle of pretentious folks at a global warming thing. Why am I here? WHAT HAVE I BECOME?!

Twitter / Maria Popova: [Which speaker at TED said this?]

#TED Live: On global warming – "We must change everything in the world, everything in the world has to change to fix this problem."

Warning Signs: Obama Scares the Heck Out of Me!

Meanwhile, Obama also called for “energy independence”, decrying “Our dependence on foreign oil" and calling for wasting more money on “renewable energy” (solar, wind and ethanol). No nation on Earth is or can be energy independent. We import the bulk of our oil from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela, along with Saudi Arabia. We have billions of barrels of our own oil, but Congress will not allow companies to drill for it.

At last count fourteen ethanol producers had filed for bankruptcy and the use of corn for fuel had driven up the cost of food and feed stocks around the world. His “solutions” are stupid.

He’s surrounded himself with loonies that want to take away our guns, that think coal-fired plants to generate electricity are evil (they provide over 50% of all the electricity!), wants Detroit to make cars that no one wants to buy, and to make nice with Iran while they kick sand in his face.
