Just Green with Envy

Well, it's been a long hard week of being green. But, seeing as how it's colder today than it was Tuesday, we have obviously stopped global warming. Thank you all for your efforts. A special thank you to NBC for setting the example by spending one week using all their equipment to make special messages about saving energy. And remember, as the cast of Chuck said, while standing in front of a bank of 15 telelvision screens all running it's logo, "Reduce, recycle and...", can't remember that last one... I think it's "resume".
But, I can't leave this week without at least giving a voice to my critics who are simply green with envy. So, I'll put up the quotes of some amatuer crackpot named John Coleman who founded some, I suppose, unheard of blog called "The Weather Channel" (how arrogant!)

"It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers, [that incredibly effective blog "Things I Can't Say"], and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment."

Obviously, John is having a little hard time with my success on this subject. Oh, and the government grant I was given to spend a week on this subject was just coincidental. I was planning this anyway and have always leaned green.

Next Week: Pictures of my big green truck. It gets 12 miles to the gallon! Good thing green week is over.
