GINGERBREAD HOUSES GO GREEN (EnviroNuts in VT--You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up)
The Burlington Free Press ^ | December 15, 2008 | Lauren Ober

Posted on 12/16/2008 4:56:09 AM PST by Conservative Vermont Vet

FAIRFAX — Karen Seaman spent hours Sunday making sustainable modifications her family’s house.

She installed solar paneling on the roof, erected a small wind turbine and put up a clothing line in the backyard."SHE WANTED A SMALLER CARBONG FOOTPRINT".

(Emphasis Added)

After Seaman, of Fairfax, finished her construction, it was questionable whether the modifications would actually work. The solar paneling was made of fruit leather, the wind turbine was constructed of chewing gum and pretzel rods and the clothing line was thrown together with licorice ropes and Piroulines.

Seaman’s attempts at greening up her family’s home might not in the end reduce her carbon footprint, but they were enough to win her the overall prize at the second annual Gingerbread House Building and Smack-Talk Contest.

Seaman said she and her family- husband John, and children Jaylin, 7, and Zorion, 4, probably spent at least $30 on supplies.

Their shopping spree was worth it. The pre-made candy people they used to populate the house, including a candy Santa stuck in the chimney, were a nice touch. The attention to details is not at all surprising considering Karen Seaman’s job.

“I’m a kindergarten teacher,” she said, affixing Fruit Roll-Up clothing to her licorice clothing line.

“And I’ve got the mind of a kindergartner,” her husband said.

Small wonder that The People's Socialist Republic of Vermont, has recently been bestowed with the dubious distinction of being the MOST liberal state in the Union.

Having grown up here in the 50's I've watched this state go (like so many others) over to the dark side, begining when Bernie Sanders moved here from NYC and got involved in politics and as the old saying goes, it wall all downhill from there.

This symbolism over substance exercise was promoted by a San Fran, far left Environmental-Wacko, Moonbat transplant. Nuff said!!

What is scarier yet, is Karen Seaman’s job. “I’m a kindergarten teacher,”

The thought of having someone who is responsible for inculcating our chillun’s, (dare I say "brainwashing"?) young skulls full of mush with the far left's new religious dogma--"ENVIRONMENTALISM" AS WELL AS SAVING MOTHER GAIA AND ALL THINGS GREEN--while no doubt laying the blame for this hoax (manmade GOREBULL WARMING) on the CO2 we/they/it/them are spewing into the atmosphere, while no doubt ignoring animal flatulence and all politicians’ hot air, is most disturbing.

Would not surprise me if she forced her charge of little crumb crunchers to watch the OWLGORE, propaganda extravaganza, The Inconvenient Fraud.

“GREEN GINGERBREAD HOUSES?"

Is it any wonder that eminent psychologist, Dr. Lyle Rossiter has diagnosed liberals as being clinically “MAD?” (SEE "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.")

The fact that this lady is making her gingerbread house ‘green’ is not nearly so hilarious as the fact that someone in Vermont thinks it's news.

With Obama's cabinet picks, particularly with Salazar at Interior...the whole nation is going to go "green"...and it will end up being a sick, puke green before it is over.

Watch for breached dams, irrigation water turnoffs, huge funding for junk science, and commitments and federal jobs being taken away from existing, already paid-for energy projects and turned towards pie-in-the-sky green projects with little or no hope for solid energy production.

It's all coming together as a perfect, marxist storm against the US free market, our economy and our energy production capabilities...and that's just to name a few.

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY

OH, I guess I neglected to mention, that this in the tank for DEAR LEADER, far left liberal rag, the Burlington Free Press (OWNED BY GANNET, BTW) chose to prominently publish this [non]story ON THE FRONT PAGE and gave it mucho space and column inches for the photo and story.

SHE WANTED A SMALLER CARBONG FOOTPRINT

She needs to get one of the smaller compact bongs that replace the old commune size bongs. Newer models are suitable for smaller families or empty nesters or simply those who have decided to cut back on their hash use and easily fit under the seat of even the newer tiny compact cars.

Reads like a true story. (rolling eyes)

"SHE WANTED A SMALLER CARBONG FOOTPRINT"

The "carbong" is a new form of hybrid car. It doesn't move at all, but if you keep smoking long enough you still get to go on your trip.

"“And I’ve got the mind of a kindergartner,” her husband said."

And he really needs to give it back to the kindergartner before he ruins it completely.

If you take the Seaman out of Fairfax, can liberals there still reproduce?

A match made in DUmmieland.

Karen Seaman is mentally ill and should be committed to an insane asylum before she hurts someone.
