Posted on 03/03/2007 5:21:12 PM PST by Doctor Raoul

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.

Ever wonder how many oxygen providing trees it takes to produce one carbon credit certificate?

Freepmail me with how much money you have and I will send you a bill for your credits. You may use them as soon as your check clears.

Dear Colorado Doug,

Thank you so very much for your generous offer. To make things quicker and easier, I will be sending a money order for $10,000. Please send the excess back to me as soon as possible. (etc.) :-)

Dear Colorado Doug, Thank you so very much for your generous offer. To make things quicker and easier, I will be sending a money order for $10,000. Please send the excess back to me as soon as possible. (etc.) :-)

Dear Mr. Jiggy Boy:
Thank you for being one of the first to respond. Yes, of course, you can count on us, however, since you have been a blight on the planet and are obviously consumed with self loathing and guilt, you are eligible, for a limited time, extra credits for even your PAST abuse of Mother Gia and even your forefathers (who were probably slave owners) abuses. Please send an additional $100,000 and feel good, really, really good about yourself. There could even be an Oscar in it for you. Now, write that check and sleep well tonight.
.
Warm (but not TOO warm as in a globally warm sense) regards)
Al Gore, Sales Specialist
