Good Grief! First Algae, Now Spinach!

EPA Wastes 90k Of Our Money To Study Spinach As Energy Source

The lunatics have gotten loose and are now running the asylum. It really is an Obama world after all, isn’t it?

And to think, some of you actually have the audacity to take issue with me when I say the EPA needs to be defunded and eliminated. Really? Care to explain that one, Jethro?

Obama recently touted algae as a potential source of energy, and now the Environmental Protection Agency has invested in converting spinach into an energy source.

The EPA awarded a $90,000 grant over the weekend to Vanderbilt University students “who designed a biohybrid solar panel that substitutes a protein from spinach for expensive silicon wafers that are energy intensive to produce, and is capable of producing electricity.”

And who are these geniuses that if presented the opportunity I will never hire?

Eric Dilbone, Phil Ingram, Trevan Locke, Paul McDonald and Jason Ogg.

Okay. Got it. Thanks. Blacklisted ‘em all!

The idea is that “a miniature bio-cell can produce minute electricity from Photosystem I (PSI), the protein in plant chloroplasts that converts light to electrochemical energy.”

They won the grant despite “nagging doubts about how the slight power from the panel would convince the judges,” one Vanderbilt professor explained.

Is there even a slight chance we can get some sanity back in this country? Or are we all doomed to this lunacy that some believe is the “new norm” from now on?

ASININE: Climate Kook, Tree Hugging Levi’s… Time To Switch Jeans

Think I’ll be hopping on Brett Favre’s bandwagon and start wearing Wrangler jeans. My relationship with Levi’s is over. I can’t deal with a company run by a bunch of witch burning kooks that would make their founder, Levi Strauss, roll over in his grave.

Do you want to hear some kookiness? Wire your jaw shut otherwise it’ll drop. Levi’s doesn’t want you to wash your jeans anymore, instead they want you to freeze them. Why, you ask? Because they want to do their part to “save the planet!” The very first words out of your mouth in the form of a question should be, save the planet from what, exactly? You guessed it, climate change! HA! HA! HA! LMAO [Hysterical laughter!].

via the New York Times:

It has introduced a brand featuring stone-washed denim smoothed with rocks but no water. It is sewing tags into all of its jeans urging customers to wash less and use only cold water.

To customers seeking further advice, Levi Strauss suggests washing jeans rarely, if at all — the theory being that putting them in the freezer will kill germs that cause them to smell.

Here’s their insane rationalization: “It fears that water shortages caused by climate change may jeopardize the company’s very existence in the coming decades by making cotton too expensive or scarce.”

[Hysterical laughter!] I guess they didn’t get the memo. No such thing as climate change, never has been, never will be, not one shred of evidence anywhere in the world proves there is, was, or ever will be, climate change.

It’s a hoax, a scam, a fairy tale, a con whose motivating factors are money and power. Only the feeble-minded believe in the myth of climate change. Stupid people who are intellectually and mentally stunted.

Like I said, I’m all done with Levi’s. I’m not doing business with a bunch of kooks. I hope you do the same. Your choice, I’ve made mine.

H/T: The Blaze

What every Climate Kook & normal person must see

For you new readers, and there have been quite a few of you over the past month or so, climate kooks are the simpletons that actually believe in the fairy tale of climate change/global warming. I understand those people also believe in unicorns, the tooth fairy, sacrificing both babies and virgins to the gods, that there is a man on the moon who eats green cheese, they hear voices, answer those voices, and see dead people too.

For many years I’ve been blogging about the hoax of global warming/climate change and have boldly stated that it has nothing to do with science and everything to do with power and money. I’ve also said the communist movement found a new home within the environmental/climate change movement. Behold… Right again!

James Delingpole is a bestselling British author and blogger who helped expose the Climategate scandal back in 2009. Reason.tv caught up with Delingpole in Los Angeles recently to learn more about his entertaining and provocative new book Watermelons: The Green Movement’s True Colors. At its very roots, argues Delingpole, climate change is an ideological battle, not a scientific one. In other words, it’s green on the outside and red on the inside. At the end of the day, according to Delingpole, the “watermelons” of the modern environmental movement do not want to save the world. They want to rule it.

ASININE: Got asthma? Screw You! “The Environment” Comes First

The grass kissing, tree hugging environmental zealots in the administration, specifically the FDA have outdone themselves. Guess what’s next on the infinite list of Obama bans? Asthma inhalers. Yup! Those fruitcake environmentalist nutjobs in the tyrannical and out-of-control federal government are putting an asthma inhaler ban in place. Why? To “save the environment!”

Three things come to mind. First, it proves what many of us believe that the environmental nutjobs place a higher priority on “the environment” than on human life. Secondly, the Obama government needs to be voted out next year, and thirdly, save the environment from what, exactly?

There is no possible way asthma inhalers harm the environment. None. Just like aerosol didn’t do a thing to the environment (ozone) when that ridiculous ban went in to effect. Ahh but the kooks are at it again!

via MSNBC:

Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government’s latest attempt to protect the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products.

The action is part of an agreement signed by the U.S. and other nations to stop using substances that deplete the ozone layer, a region in the atmosphere that helps block harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun.

But the switch to a greener inhaler will cost consumers more. Epinephrine inhalers are available via online retailers for around $20, whereas the alternatives, which contain the drug albuterol, range from $30 to $60.

Is this the most asinine pile of shit you have ever read, or what? Ban lightbulbs, control your energy usage (GE Smartgrid), ban foods and force Americans to eat cardboard crap, ban farm dust… does it ever end? WTF? We need to get these assholes out of power and in a prison cell next year. This is absolutely retarded. Land of the free? Surely you jest!

The Atlantic had a piece a while back discussing the inefficiencies of “going green.”

In fact, when I look back at almost every “environmentally friendly” alternative product I’ve seen being widely touted as a cost-free way to lower our footprint, held back only by the indecent vermin at “industry” who don’t care about the environment, I notice a common theme: the replacement good has really really sucked compared to the old, inefficient version.  In some cases, the problem could be overcome by buying a top-of-the-line model that costs, at the very least, several times what the basic models do.

And what do I do? I do as I please and to hell with “the environment.” Seriously. When I change the oil in the boats, I give my old boat oil back to “the environment,” and when I fire up those engines in the spring, I blow all the anti-freeze in to the lake. And that’s just for starters. What are you gonna do about it? I won’t stop. So like I said, what are you gonna do about it?

And here’s another one. You know what you do with empty glass bottles when you are out on the water? So glad you asked. You have a two foot iron rod, you stick it down the bottles neck and punch out the bottom of the bottle and toss it overboard. Sinks right to the bottom! Yeah, I do that too. What are you gonna do about it?

Reason #1 why Leftists should be euthanized

We all know that leftism is a mental illness, we’ve discussed that fact and shown the evidence by a world-renowned psychiatrist. They just don’t think like normal people, something is lacking, and that retards their mental growth. In other words, they are intellectually stunted.

Behold the illness of mental retardation known as leftism on full display from a kook that goes by the screen name of Chilidog99 who wrote this comment in yesterday’s Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

load of BS

We don’t have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem

Here’s the screenshot of this imbecile’s ridiculously insane comment:

Can you actually believe this? Who let that loon out of the asylum? When you spend more than you take in, that’s a spending problem. But in that moron’s world, it’s just the opposite!

In his own funny little world of unicorns, rainbows, windmills and bicycles only, I wonder if he lives within his means? He probably lives like he’s a millionaire on a 50k salary and figures it’s not his fault he wound up filing for bankruptcy, it’s his bosses fault for not giving him the salary he thinks he deserves to support his lifestyle. This guy is sick in the head.

And oddly enough, most leftists actually think like this kook does. Do you understand now why I keep saying that we have to thin the herd? Seriously, those people actually think and believe as this half-wit that goes by the screen name Chilidog99. It’s because of Congress and the White House acting on that irrational belief is why this country is in the mess it is in. Don’t take my word for it, look what the Democrats have done since 2007. And look at Barack Obama. Actions speak louder than words. Look at the records. And Barack Obama has just repeated calls for more taxing and more spending to the tune of 447 billion dollars. That’s not normal. That’s mental illness. People who think like that need to be wearing the Bullwinkle hat and a brown coat, in the woods, in November.

Below is a screenshot of the story’s IP address and the title of the story that this moron, Chilidog99 commented on. No, I don’t think the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel will scrub this, they’re one of the better newspapers in the country, I just like to have the evidence on file… just in case.

Jew hatred runs rampant among flotilla passengers (activists)

This is truly unbelievable. You have to wonder what planet these loons live on. They would make Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich very proud.

If they do indeed try to breach the blockade I hope the Israeli Navy fires a harpoon and gets rid of these hate-filled bigots once and for all. The world will be a much better place with a boat load less of bigoted haters.

Through thick and thin, Lake Minnetonka Liberty will always stand with Israel

Ahhh… Those kooky and zany leftists!

Gotta tell you, I laughed my ass off when I read about this next intellectual gem. There is no doubt, leftism really is a mental illness just like the psychiatrists have shown in their research. They are stunted in their intellectual growth and reasoning capabilities. Those people just don’t think like normal folks.

Behold! via Reuters:

TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) – A long-simmering movement by liberal stalwarts in southern Arizona to break away from the rest of the largely conservative state is at a boiling point as secession backers press to bring their longshot ambition to the forefront of Arizona politics.

A group of lawyers from the Democratic stronghold of Tucson and surrounding Pima County have launched a petition drive seeking support for a November 2012 ballot question on whether the 48th state should be divided in two.

The ultimate goal of the newly formed political action committee Start our State is to split Pima County off into what would become the nation’s 51st state, tentatively dubbed Baja Arizona.

And why are the leftists looking to secede? They live in that unrealistic utopian vision of a world without borders. That’s right, these kooks are the open borders, celebrate diversity, embrace multiculturalism crowd. They’re the kooks you see around a campfire singing “Khumbaya” wearing beads, roman sandals, and have the peace signs on their multicolored VW vans, with their “Mother Earth” license plate holders.
