Climate change deniers: A path to power? (Seattle's Best Barf)

The event is dubbed "Breakfast of Champions" by Washington Conservation Voters, but a lot of the talk Thursday was of chumps -- lawmakers blocking good deeds in this Washington, and polluters poised for power in D.C.

A scorecard highlights "Green Duds" in Olympia, legislators those who thwarted a modest tax on petroleum products, to be earmarked to cutdown stormwater runoff of toxics into Puget Sound.

This is envirowacko ranting at its best, courtesy of a Seattle liberal. Don't bother reading unless you feel the need to regurgitate.

I offer the following responses to this idiots questions:

Why do we have an unsustainable, fossil fuel dependent energy policy?

-Because fossil fuels will remain viable far into the future and green energy is a myth.

Why is the status quo subsidized here while China moves to world leadership in wind and solar power?

-Because the Chinese are communists and make decisions based on ideology and not economics.

Why is Amerca addicted to oil imports from unstable corners of the globe?

-Because that is where the oil is.

What are the costs to the lungs of our children, to Gulf fishers, and to the Earth our children and grandchildren will inherit?

-Negligible. A more appropriate question is what is the cost if we deny our children the benefits of fossil fuel.

I’m more interested in the deficit-deniers.

those who thwarted a modest tax

There's no such thing as a modest tax. It's always the nose of a camel.

BOGUS VOTING RESIDENCES (X): JOEL CONNELLY’S WHIDBEY ISLAND VACATION RETREAT

http://www.seattlepi.com/dayart/20090806/100joel.jpg

Joel Connelly, the contumelious liberal columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, has 4 people registered to vote claiming residence at his 737 sq. ft cabin on Whidbey Island.

These registered voters are: Connelly himself, Virginia Snyder, who Connelly informs me is his “master landscaper”, and Ellen and David Lawsky. Connelly is an interesting case, as he might be able to argue plausibly that he’s resident of either Seattle or Whidbey Island. My interpretation is that he’s a Seattle resident who is claiming voting residence at his weekend home so he can vote in more competitive races, but he asserts other facts that would support his claim to a Whidbey Island residence.

Pailthorp and life-partner Joel Connelly shared a home in Seattle’s Madrona neighborhood ... Pailthorp and Connelly also established a vacation retreat on Whidbey Island...

Why is Amerca addicted to oil imports from unstable corners of the globe?
