Let them burn cake!

The animal activists are against the wind farm because birds would fly into the blades and get chopped up?

Then I propose that we put deep fryers beneath the blades and create a new food source for the homeless.

I saw that he made it that time but what about this year? It could be foggy, Rudolph could be sick, It could be at the end of the run and Santa could be sleepy. We've got to do something! (John Dean type scream here)

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

BTT!!!!!!!

But won't those propeller blades be a threat to the Kennedy clan, during their dark til dawn flights around the area?

Just cause they are batty, they're chopped liver??

[F.J. Mitchell]

Are you sure that wasn't 'Hysterical distrct' ?

For me, the whole thing is clear:

1. When the cost can be born by someone else, liberals love windpower and other so-called environmental friendly alternatives of fuel.

2. When the cost must be born by themselves, there is suddenly a great reason to to stop it.

3. When the cost is born by no one except a few animals and corporations(ANWAR), humans must suffer because we definitely cannot allow development.

4. When the cost is born by the army (mid-east oil supplies), it is a danger to world-peace.

I have a Matrix-alternative. Use the liberals as human batteries to generate power. win-win for all.

Just think, if they can harvest all the hot wind from both Kerry and Kennedy, they can power the world. We want need oil from the Mideast. This is going to be great.

Did you notice the thousands of dead birds laying under them? For some reason, birds like to fly into the blades. It normally is a one way trip.

Amusing to see libs oppose green technology when it winds up in their backyard.

[GOP_Proud]

I understood they were undertaking a project to adjust the speedof the propellers to limit the dead birds. Supposedly there is a speed that the birds can see and detour from.
