SIERRA CLUB NATIONAL CONVENTION & EXPO

Yes, on this 9/11 weekend, I went under deep cover at the Sierra Club Summit in San Francisco, California.

Highlights ---

- I the flight up to SF, I sat next to a dentist who came here from Canada...yes, he is a conservative...Canada, I guess, exports them because they cannot stand the stinking socialist tax-grabbing country

- Algore speech on Friday...global warming...everything is Bush's fault...he quoted Lincoln and Churchill...we can save the planet but must have an unprecedented response...we won two wars at the same time in Europe and the Pacific...we stopped communism (what is this we crap, Al?)...after he said "I'll close with this," he talked another 15 minutes...and then what does he do after the historic speech?...does he get whisked away in an electric vehicle? a hybrid? a fuel cell vehicle? a natural gas vehicle? (hybrid vehicles were at the event for test drives)... No! Hell no! Al gets into his waiting gas guzzling giantic planet-killing CADILLAC ESCALADE! yes, folks, he really did do that

- Air America had a booth but I didn't hear them broadcast...and I didn't see any evidence that they gave all that money back to the NY kids

- the t-shirt booth had shirts such as OIL AND WATER DON'T MIX, and IMPEACH BUSH...another booth had a I AM HERE TO SAVE THE EARTH shirt...saving the earth from aliens or neo-cons? all your liberal airheads are belong to us

- the weird loser guy in charge of the bike racks had a shirt with a Swastika and the contention that Bush is a Nazi

- every time I went up and down the stairs, all 57 of them, I walked...the neo-con walked...what did the environmentalists do? of course, they went up and down the escalator...not more that 5% used the stairs going down, and I only saw about 5 people ever use the stairs going up

- gee, they are not very inclusive...all weekend, of all the hundreds and hundreds of people attending (probably actually thousands) I counted no more than 5 black people...where is the outreach? where is Sharpton? where is Jesse?...are these just elitist white leftists?

- they had a brochure about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that they want to save...the pictures had animals, trees, and plants...what they didn't say is that the very miniscule amount of land on which they want to drill to extract oil is a great big freaking sheet of ice...just plain ice...there is nothing there...it is good for ice skating and oil drilling

- on 9/11, an incredible fly-by of 4 jets took place right over our heads that couldn't have been more than a couple hundred feet about the tall buildings...it was an incredible sight and an unbelievable sound...THE SOUND OF FREEDOM! the leftists had to hate that

- I saw a scruffy old guy leave the building wearing an interesting shirt...he was about 5' 2" tall, weighed probably 275, had on a funny beany hat, and had a shirt saying DEMOCRATS ARE SEXY

- a bicyclist had a sign on his back saying BICYCLING AGAINST OIL WARS (aren't these people clever?)

- the United States Marines actually had booth there to showcase how they are protecting nature on their bases and how they try to create a buffer to protect neighbors from noise...the major got a chuckle about my comment that they have strayed a little from the mission of killing people and breaking things...we discussed my son-in-law's cruise on the USS ENTERPRISE that had to be turned around on 9/11 and head back to the Gulf to punish the terrorist bastards...he talked about how he landed on that powerful vessel...I bet he wishes he was still doing that instead of protecting kangaroo rats

- for lunch on the last day, we treated a group to pizza and chose the right place...the owners had recently started their pizza business after moving from the Philippines...the kid who helped carry the huge $120 order back to the Moscone Center had just moved here a week ago...he was suprised when I asked him if he felt safer in a country with no Abu Sayef...he got a good laugh out of that, probably because no one in San Fran would ever have mentioned that to him...they still don't know we are at war against those who want to kill Western Civilization...they want their government job pay raises, they want out of Iraq, they want Birkenstocks, and they want money for sex change operations...I wonder how their business will do...it was great pizza at a good price, but they had both a statue and picture of Jesus on the counter...I don't know how the tolerant libs will handle that

- a crazy guy on the street who was probably both drunk and loaded, told me that Barry Bonds was coming back...hey, I guess he wasn't so crazy

- I spoke with a woman who was a little tipsy from drinking some Sierra Club label wine at their wine-tasting booth...she actually said, "Who would pay $17,50 for that crap?"...she was interesting...in her '50s, she is divorced and goes kayaking alone...she lives sometimes in a relative's house in Santa Cruz and sometimes in her car...she lived Europe for several years, leaving the country for France after Reagan was elected governor of California...I behaved but was laughing my *ss off inside

- Bill Maher performed on Saturday night, and I was offered tickets...no thanks...the chances would have been great that I would have rushed the stage, and as I have stated here before, Mrs. DFU has said she will not bail me out if I am arrested for political adventures...I am told that the Bush-bashing jokes and F-bombs were spewing from Maher's mouth fast and furious...the Sierra Club guy who introducted Maher pronounced his name Ma-her

- I couldn't behave myself the entire weekend, so just once I had to throw the platic water bottle in the trash instead of the recycling receptacle...it felt good but I also felt a little guilty afterwards

- on the flight home, about four rows behind me was a woman who must have attended the convention...she spoke about Gore's speech and global warming...she bashed Bush...a few minutes might have been okay, but she went on and on, blah blah blah blah blah the entire hour and 15 minute trip...but I behaved...I wanted to ask her what the hell she was doing on this airplane -- IT USES OIL!...but I maintained...she was a frumpy old woman, and I just decided to let it ride

- the real highlight was Arianna Huffington...after she gave her speech and came out of the building she walked right by me...I had heard about her vehicle before the speech, and when I saw her leaving, I raced to borrow a camera...from across the street I managed to take some photos of Arianna and her driver in a gigantic gas guzzling planet-killing Chevy Suburban...she didn't have an entourage of 7 people to share the Suburban...nope, it was the driver in the front seat and the big mouth hypocritical witch in the back...she would undoubtedly tell Hannity, "Oh, the Suburban was going somewhere anyway"

- How did I survive the weekend in the whacked out lib city with all the whacked out lib people? Well, just as someone would have a book of Scripture from which to read when facing a demon from hell, I had Annie's HOW TO TALK TO A LIBERAL IF YOU MUST...it saved my sanity

The year was 1967 and I was going into the Army as my cousin, with whom I had grown up, with was going into the Peace Corp. I was off to SE Asia to kill godless commies and he was off to Bolivia or Peru to do coke.

He was already a member of the Sierra Club and was part of a radical fringe that was developing within it, among other notions, the elimnation of the internal combustion engine. Now mind you, this was from a fella that drove a FIAT 650 coupe.

I went to one of their meetings while we were both home, coincidently, on leave. I listened for awhile to these idiots discussing appropriating private beach front for 'people's parks' in the Santa Cruz area. Finally the rants started in on cars and their filth-spewing IC engines. I thought to myself, Aha! I've got the hypocrties!

I pointed out to them that almost all of them had arrived, mostly by themselves, in various automobiles. Why didn't they start their crusade with personal examples of non-car use behavior. Weren't they all hypocrites?

They very condescendingly and smuggly explained to me that they couldn't fight for the cause if they couldn't have the benefits of transportation etc. and that when the struggle was won they, along with everyone else, would then be on foot or on bike. They would have to compromise their principles for awhile only to finally overcome oppression, the man, the sinister forces of capitalism, the industrial-military complex, etc.

Your report certainly points out that not much has changed with these fools in 40 years.

Excellent work Agent D.

[doug from upland]

I will have an Arianna picture when it is emailed to me.

[doug from upland]

Al actually looked as if he might have lost a few pounds. And he did not use a lisp or his preacher cadence. Except for the content, you might have been mildly impressed. It was not the screaming, insane Algore we've seen after Recount 2000.

[doug from upland]

It was just Arianna and her driver. She had no need for that car. She could have arrived in a Prius.

[pageonetoo]

I will have an Arianna picture when it is emailed to me.

PLEASE SPARE US!

[doug from upland]

Disgusting, foul-mouth weasel.

This actually is pretty funny --- "George Bush thinks ‘Kyoto' is the guy his father threw up on."

[doug from upland]

Ha, ha, ha, Sean. That Suburban was going somewhere anyway.

[ErnBatavia]

I still remember her at the gubernatorial debate..."Ahnuld drives a Hummah - I drive a hybrid!"

dem/lib/socialists = HYPOCRITES

The fate of the world is in your hands...and your pants

George Lakoff, the prof from Berkeley who has been helping the Democrats in the use of language so their phony message seems real.

[doug from upland]

I will give him some credit. I heard no reports of submerged women or women with blue dots over their face so they could testify.

Pictures! We want pictures! (They'd be a hoot to caption.)

[b4its2late]

Great job doug. I'm sure you took a well deserved long shower when you got home......

[b4its2late]

Glad you got through to Tony....

[RckyRaCoCo]

Is that Arienation Huff 'n puff?

[doug from upland]

That's her. I think she went nuts after her husband and senate candidate from California left her for his more attractive gay lover.

[doug from upland]

Let's see if they post it on Arianna's blog

===================================================

Thank You for Commenting
PREVIEWING YOUR COMMENT
Will Arianna's own numbers crumble when her supporters learn that, after she gave her speech about saving the planet at the Sierra Club Summit in San Francisco, her driver didn't whisk her away in a Prius. Her driver took her away in a gigantic gas guzzling planet-killing Chevrolet Suburban. Great hypocrisy, Arianna.
