Will Reagan get the last laugh?

Two good ones this morning:

The Christian Science Monitor investigates a huge new source of global warming eveeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

Looks like we need to blame God because, after all, only He can make a tree, right?

Second verse, same as the first. Check out this article on cows and global warming (for more than just the obvious fart jokes). Notice that the core of the article is about increasing meat consumption in the third world (linked to rising wealth and general healthiness worldwide), and therefore the adverse impact of increased cattle production, particularly in the production costs associated with ranching. Now go to the beginning of the article about, again, increased meat consumption in the third world: what's the sub-headline? "American meat eaters are responsible for 1.5 more tons of carbon dioxide per person than vegetarians every year."

That's right, it's those damn AmeriKKKan rethugliKhans again.

Because remember: just like the electricity to charge the batteries of all Priuses magically shows up in their sainted owner's garages brought by happy little faeries from the land of green electricty production, the large scale production of soybeans to produce tofu is facilitated by the magical prancing ponies to insure that no excess carbon is created at any point in the process, as the soybeans are raised free range in the land of carbon neutrality and brought on pixie's wings directly to the produce refrigerator at the Whole Foods.

And note that all pixies, magical prancing ponies, and faeries are members of the Service Workers Union (Moral Superiority Division).

Yes, so why try? Not like the fate of the world is at stake. Oh wait...

BTW, the Prius is a hybrid, the batteries are not plugged in, but get recharged on the fly.
