Blog Action Day

October 15th is Blog Action Day, where bloggers around the globe are attempting to unite and raise awareness of Global Warming this one day.

How effective will this be? Not sure, that’s a ton of computers that will all be greedily sucking electricity on one day.

Here are some things that PBH thinks you need to do to help reduce your greenhouse emissions:

1. Suicide. If you’re dead you’re not using any resources.

2. Slavery. If you’ve got a servant running around everywhere for you you’re not driving that gas guzzling SUV. And if you can afford a Hummer you can afford a slave, don’t tell us otherwise.

3. Blow up a power plant. Take the fight to them. We don’t need their dirty, blood covered electricity. Blow those coal, nuclear, and natural gas plants up. Tell the power companies we mean business. Remember; terrorism does work.

4. Go homeless. If you don’t have a house you can’t be using that much electricity.

5. Steal more. Thievery doesn’t place a record on product sales therefore you get what you want and manufacturers never see the need to increase product output.

6. Slap an asshole. See someone being wasteful, opulent, or just a downright dirty republican polluter? Beat the shit out of them. Remember, polluters aren’t like you and me, they only understand pain and fear.

7. Stop reading newspapers. Sure it’s news, but you killed a carbon sequestering tree to get it. Best to live in ignorance.

8. Eat more meat. The more cows we kill, the sooner we get rid of them and their ozone killing farts.

9. Drink beer, not soda. Beer is natural, it’s water and grains. Show beverage producers you’re through with heavily processed pollution filled liquid drugs that rot your mind and stomach. Drop the caffeine and soda-pop. Drink the beer.

10. Stop caring. Remember, the more you care, the more you do. The more you do, the more pollution you create. You need to believe in America first, and that belief is that smarter and more capable people will take care of the problem for you. Only you can make it worse, so stay out of the way.

Happy Blog Action Day and take our environmental advice to heart!

Spilled Beans

Rut-roh, Wesley Clark spilled the beans on the white House’s effort to ‘mold’ the Middle East:

About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.” I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.” He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.” This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.” He said, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” So I said, “Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?” He said, “No, no.” He says, “There’s nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.” He said, “I guess it’s like we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we’ve got a good military and we can take down governments.” And he said, “I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.”

Who doesn’t love this Bush administration? Everyday it gets zanier and crazier!

In the world of figuring out who is the dumbest, a significant percentage of Americans don’t read books, care about the world, or are engaged in either local or national politics (and they wonder why Ms. Teen South Carolina thinks Iraq and South Africa are in the US).

Unsolicited Republican Blowjobs

Mmm mmm mmm, another week rolls around and another boy-loving Republican spreads his wings:

Glenn Murphy, Jr., the recently elected chairman of the Young Republican National Federation (also the RNC Chair for Clark County, Indiana and formerly the YRNF Secretary) has been accused of sexually assaulting a sleeping man. Immediately following the accusation, he came up with an unrelated reason to resign, and the YRNF cleansed their website of his name.

Allegedly, Murphy and another YR were drunk and crashing at Murphy’s sister’s house. The other man apparently awoke in the morning to find Murphy giving him a non-consensual blow job. The Clark County (Indiana) Sheriff’s Department is charging Murphy with “criminal deviate conduct”, a Class B felony.

Why settle for the all too obvious oppression of Islam, when you can keep it real with the subtle submission of Christianity? Pandagon reports on Trying to get past the finish line after firing the virginity pledge gun:

“Wow” is also how she describes her first night with Brett after their wedding reception, when they checked in to the Broadmoor Hotel. An explicit promise of the virginity until- marriage movement is that if you wait for the big day to have intercourse, the sex will be mind-blowing. (A popular public-school sex-ed curriculum in Colorado is called “Wait Training: Learn How to Have the Best Sex—By Waiting Until Marriage!”) In their hotel room, the first thing Lauren did was get a basin and water pitcher and wash Brett’s feet.

Come again?

“My spiritual gift is serving,” she explains. “And I wanted to show Brett, ‘I’m here to love you, follow you, and serve you.’”

Dick Cheney Will Steal Your Kid and Boil It

Why one should never, ever cross Dick Cheney:

A man walked up to Dick Cheney, calmly told him he thought his Iraq policy was reprehensible, and walked away. A few minutes later he was arrested by the Secret Service, in front of his 8-year-old son, for “assault”. When he asked what would happen to his child, the Secret Service said, “He can be sent to Child Services.” Luckily, the boy found his mother and was safe.

Atlantic Review has an excellent post on Germany’s Role in Operation Enduring Freedom, which I will hopefully chime in about if they ever have another BLOG carnival (I’m looking at you, Joerg!). In other news, Publius has a post on Britain declaring the Litvinenko Killing as State-Sponsored Terrorism, and Coming Anarchy reports on Britain saying goodbye to bumper sticker sloganeering.
