The Robbo Service
As I made my way to the metro yesterday evening, I was accosted by a somewhat scraggly young man carrying a clipboard who said to me, "Sir! Surely you care about the environment, don't you?"
"Nope," I smiled encouragingly as I passed by, "Not in the least. Have a nice day."
The Missus laughed heartily when I told her about it, but then said she bet I did it just so I could blog about it. Not so, I replied. Instead, I did it so the young man would have a story of eviiiiil Rethuglican indifference with which to regale his friends. In fact, if he plays it right, he might even be able to score some sympathy tail.
A little touch of Robbo in the afternoon, spreading sweetness and light. That's what I like to think I'm all about.

I used it as an opportunity to go on at length about how we have the best health care system in the world and how it would be better with less government mandates and more free-market.

PS - while the young men with Greenpeace clipboards are scraggly, some of the young women are quite, uh, well put together.
