Interesting note on the Chevy Volt. A friend bought two, one last year and one this year. He filed for the $7,500 tax reimbursement. He was supposed to get $11,500 back. He got a check from the IRS for $4,000. When he enquired he was told that the tax rebates were “under review.”

Well I had to use my snowthrower yesterday and they are talking about ice fishing for the fishing opener in Minnesota. I think we’ve cooled the planet down well enough!

“IMHO your friend isn’t very smart by bought one in the first place.”

He spent $40,000 a few years ago turning his house into a solar powered house. He was reimbursed $35,000 by federal and local grants. He hasn’t bought electricity except for the air conditioner for 5 years. I agree about the car, but he drives to and from work without using any gas whatsoever. You and I paid for all this. (He says, “thank you,” btw.)

Don't do that! Beat her to death and stuff her in trunk as Earth Day's founder, Ira Einhorn, did to his girlfriend, Holly Maddox (this is just sarcasm folks).

“Tell him he’s not welcome.”

Trust me. He knows. But his wife wants a small carbon footprint. If that’s what it takes to live with a woman who packs not one, but two guns and helps build barns, I’d put up with the green cr*p. It appears to be her only liberal leaning. You have to decide what you’ll put up with and what you’ll get if you do. He made a good trade.

I had forgotten about Einhorn-unicorn.....

Born into a middle-class Jewish family, Einhorn studied at the University of Pennsylvania.[1][2] He became active in ecological groups and was part of the counterculture, anti-establishment and anti-war movements of the 1960s and 1970s.[3] He called himself “the Unicorn,” because Einhorn and Unicorn translate as “One Horn”.[4]

Einhorn claimed to have been master of ceremonies at the first Earth Day event in Philadelphia in 1970.[3] He claimed to have been instrumental in the creation and launching of the Earth Day event itself.

Einhorn had a five-year relationship with Holly Maddux, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College who was originally from Tyler, Texas. In 1977, Maddux broke up with Einhorn, which infuriated him. She went to New York City and became involved with Saul Lapidus, a rejection that Einhorn would not accept. After learning about this turn of events, Einhorn called Maddux and lured her back to Philadelphia under the guise of retrieving her belongings, although his intention was to murder her for breaking off their relationship. She was never seen alive again.

When questioned, Einhorn told police that Maddux had left to go to the store but never came back. Eighteen months later on March 28, 1979, Maddux’s decomposing corpse was found by police in a trunk stored in a closet in Einhorn’s apartment. After finding Maddux the police reportedly said to Einhorn “It looks like we found Holly” to which Einhorn reportedly replied “you found what you found”. Einhorn’s bail was reduced to $40,000 at the request of his attorney Arlen Specter; Einhorn was released from custody in advance of his trial by paying 10% of the bond's value, or $4,000. This bail was paid, not by Einhorn, but by Barbara Bronfman, a Montreal socialite and one of the many people Einhorn had convinced into supporting him financially.

In 1981, just days before his murder trial was to begin, Einhorn skipped bail and fled to Europe. Einhorn traveled in Europe for the next 17 years, along the way marrying a Swedish woman named Annika Flodin. Back in Pennsylvania, as Einhorn had already been arraigned, the state convicted him in absentia in 1993 for the murder of Maddux. Einhorn was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

And who can forget (the MSM did) the founder of EARTH DAY! Ira Einhorn!

Don’t remember him? well, here is a link.

Even our local electric company magazine mentioned EARTH DAY without mentioning his name, but gave the “credit” to another as the founder of that day.

One of the best ways I’ve read to celebrate Earth Day is to have a public surveillance camera BBQ.

Get a bunch of enthusiastic high school boys to spot cameras around town, then on the night before, steal the cameras and bring them to the BBQ pit site.
