Two funny things with regard to the Dem convention in Denver...
Homeless people are being given museum and movie tickets, among other schemes, to get them the heck outta downtown for the convention, and Obama's choice to move his speech to the stadium will apparently quadruple the "carbon footprint" of the entire convention over his giving it at the convention center, and that only takes into account the facility load, not the additional load of getting all of the extra folks to the stadium. Supposedly, the speech alone will also have approximately 4 times the carbon footprint of the GOP convention, as well. Hmmm...I guess he might be leaning toward Al "Green Like Me" Gore...well, if the convention folks can arrange to land all the Goron Gulfstreams, including Gore's, and find a place to park all the stretch Hummers to cart all of them to rented mansions and hotel floors...

It's nice to see the outer fringe take such an interest in carbon footprints (I always keep a pan of coal dust next to the front door, and step in it before heading out in the morning). |

I think most sensible people would understand that 10,000 folks at a convention hall already in use would have a significantly smaller carbon footprint than 5-6 times that amount in a stadium fired up solely for a speech.

It appears his game plan is to BORE everyone to death before the election. I mean, not only does he use 200 words when a dozen or so well-chosen words would do (see: "How to tell what size fly?" for some classic examples) but he has some weird thing going on in his head that anyone here actually gives two craps what he has to say - about *anything*, never mind politics... I don't believe anyone here gives even one crap about what I have to say, but at least I don't hound people with one-sided political crap every effin' day - while professing (and this is really....um....Rich) that I don't care who gets elected... /daytripper (It's ridiculous....but then, so is he...) |
