.. which includes carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and …water vapor??
This means the EPA will be in the business of limiting… heavy breathing, sweatiness, and flatulence.
Are all of us fat, old coots in trouble! They’ll round us up and feed us into solar-powered tree shredders, turning us either into eco-friendly compost or an all-natural flavor ingredient to the new environmentally-neutral food stuff Soylent Green. Look for yellow tape around the local Mexican restaurants, as crews in full hazmat suits bring out the refried beans for proper disposal.
GlaxoSmithKline (which holds the key patent) becomes the fastest growing employer in the UK from the fact that American cattlemen are scurrying all over the countryside trying to dose their cattle with Beano (that is, until ‘burpless’ grass takes root; no joke.) GlaxoSmithKline’s U.S. units donate millions to the Democrats, even though they lose some of their gain from the 25% heavy-breathing/sweatiness tax on their Cialis product. Pzfizer losses on Viagra are more significant; that company donates millions to the GOP.
The last stage will result in trees being granted American citizenship, as eco-productive members of society; logging will be banned. Acorn will make sure they are all registered, down to the last sapling. Their absentee voting rate will be most impressive.
All joking aside, this action will likely result in the rapid migration of the last manufacturing businesses from the U.S. The coal industry will be destroyed and the petroleum industry taxed even heavier. All for the sake of a vain attempt to reduce the 3.4% of the 3.6% of ‘greenhouse gases (the CO2) we might be responsible for; the part that is biologically active and controlled by vegetation. The EPA has declared plant food as dangerous pollutant. Wait until they try to control water vapor.

The only way to force the MSM is break the Obama Propaganda Division role is to have such massive turnouts at things like this that they actually have to report some level of dislike for the fact the Big O and his Congressional henchmen (including a few GOP buffoons) are turning this country into a bankrupt socialistic state that will never let our children and grand-children prosper.
These things are getting huge enough that some of the Left are actually going to show up, a few with disruptive intent or to generate negaticve images. The goal is to have a peaceful huge gathering to influence this COngress… or more likely, organize to replace the problem members from both parties.

Politicians tend to make heaps of promises they neither fulfill nor even make the attempt to. Most are in the political arena, but sometimes a personal commitment- a good one- slips by the wayside when it really shouldn’t. Isolated instances of forgotten personal commitments may or may not be a reflection of the character of the individual; it requires more than that to take a full measure of a politician. A history of them is another matter, however. This has been discussed before.
This particular personal commitment is one that is very worthy. While I have not personally seen the situation in this site, I’ve seen others very much like it just 150 miles west of this site. Fortunately, there is a blogger known as Baldilocks whose has picked up the dropped ball and is running with it. She knows the terrain, the people (She’s from the Luo tribe, as is Obama’s father), and the environment. Much good will come of her effort and you can help by contributing to the Obama School fund here.
Charity such as this goes beyond politics. Obama supporters can contribute to honor their candidate, McCain supporters to point out the unfulfilled promise. A Libertarian should do it as a function of individual liberty and to reduce dependence (and the resulting power) of government. A Liberal should do it as a voluntary redistribution of our wealth to those with greater need. A conservative should do it from a standpoint of taking personal responsibility and serving a higher moral order.
And, when the RNC rolls around next week, I suggest honoring that with a contribution to Cindy McCain’s charitable efforts: Operation Smile. Despite my personal commitments to my ‘daughter’ the other kids and other projects (and I take my commitments very seriously), I plan to send a little to both.

Barack apparently needs some help in fulfilling a personal commitment he made a couple years ago that could grow into something embarrassing for his campaign. Fortunately, there are others- like myself- who see the basic need as more important than the embarrassment or the politics involved. I work wilth liberals in Uganda, because charity transcends political philosophy.
You can go to this site to read about it and donate. When he gets the formal site up, I’ll link to that as well. I kicked in my promised $20 just as a sterter and challenge others to do likewise. If I can fit it in with a trip to Uganda for my normal stuff, I’ll even go to see it done (Nairobi is a stop on most flights to Uganda and my favorite niece Sandra knows Kenya pretty well).

This one from the great Gateway Pundit was too good- and too personal- to pass up:
Now the world will watch and remember what we do here – what we do with this moment. Will we extend our hand to the people in the forgotten corners of this world who yearn for lives marked by dignity and opportunity; by security and justice? Will we lift the child in Bangladesh from poverty, shelter the refugee in Chad, and banish the scourge of AIDS in our time?
Obama’s Speech to Non-Voters in Berlin
Powerful words. Political problem is: John McCain and his family has long ago acted with quiet, very personal deeds. Their adopted daughter Bridget was a dying infant in Bangladesh that Cindy saved, now a teenager. With my own adopted daughter Winnie and my work with the Ugandan orphanage, I have great respect for those who take it upon themselves to make a difference in these very personal ways. It’s walking the walk.
OK, John; I officially give you one additional pass on a policy difference for this one (and we have several).
As for the Obama family: Since Michelle has talked about how Obama will save all the children (good luck on that), possibly she’d like to accompany me on my next trip (hopefully this winter, if I can scrape up the cash) to Uganda and join me in helping the children. She’d learn about slot latrines, bucket baths and malarial-infested mosquitoes along the way. But, to save at least some of the children, those lessons need to be learned for a walk to go with the talk.
Update: After seeing this video, I have to tell you I am now officially in love with John McCain’s wife. You’ve got a real keeper there, John! Beautiful, classy, amazingly kind and generous, rich from beer; never question McCain’s judgment on things that matter!
Update 2: And Barack definitely hasn’t done walking when he’s done talking in the past. This is just flat disgusting, doing nothing for the village despite several promises. As one who does this stuff personally, I know you can’t do everything; but he should have at least done something.

OK; now I’m dangerous since I found this site that creates bumper stickers. With my warped mind, that’s a dangerous thing. I’ll start with a matching pair:

Which naturally leads to:
