HOLLYWOOD'S wealthy liberals can now avoid any guilt they might feel for consuming so much non-renewable fossil fuel... This year's Oscar goodie bag contained gift certificates representing 100,000 pounds of greenhouse gas reductions... It reminds us of the era when rich Catholics paid the church for "dispensations" that would shorten their terms in Purgatory.

What a bunch of hypocrites.
Where does one obtain such a gift certificate? Maybe I can make my own and give them as gifts to people who I do not like. Kinda like George Costanza and The Human Fund...
Hey buddy...
Can you spare a Carbon Offset Credit?
I need a cigarette...
You may wind up in the women's prison library.
Hollywood no less.....
Hmmmm, if it is one of those miminum security installations...
I printed out my carbon offset certificate yesterday for 100,000 pounds. I slept like a baby last night. I will print more out for birthday gifts throughout the year. I love these things.

These had to come from the Gore group. What better way to advertise their "product"? These people "need" to purchase large amounts of carbon credis to offset their lavish lifestyles. I will bet that these carbon credits are going to be written off by Gore as advertising cost.
Sounds like the perfect set up.
It's OK folks, we flew here in a chartered 767 for only seven passengers, and we will be riding in seperate stretch limos to the 30,000 sq ft mansion for Vanity Fair's post Oscar party, but we have Carbon Credits!
Obviously, idiocy knows no bounds.
How many of these certificates does it take to counteract hot air generated by that giant gasbag Algore?
I can see selling carbon credits as a new MLM scheme...
How many carbon credits are a cross-country chartered-jet trip worth? The best way for these eggheads to help the environment would've been to stay home.
Let them eat carbon credits...
How do they figure out those damn things anyway? A gallon of gas weighs six pounds or so, but they say it creates like 100 pounds of CO2.
Sounds like Gore was making a bribe to get his Oscar,indite him for bribery!
Could this be the return of Green Stamps?
