It is Earth Day.
I'd like to leave it at that. But simply put, you know me, so I cannot.
First, let me be clear on a few things. I think we should be more responsible when it comes to using our resources. I think we should recycle as much as possible, but I hate when companies take advantage of people and CHARGE them to recycle when they ALSO make money on the other side of recycling.
I believe that we should turn lights out, ask my family (who don't always listen) how I hammer them over this issue. Turn the water off between the rinses when brushing your teeth.
Don't dump your motor oil or old gasoline down the storm drains. Or any drains. Just recycle it. You have to pay for that, but that is YOUR government at work.
Avoid unnecessary trips to the store. Gas is expensive for one, and it is those short trips that waste the most gas per mile.
With all of that said, let's avoid the hype and junk science that is the Global Warming scare.
First, it is junk science. Want proof? Look at the evidence that Albert "Hey, Hey, Hey" Gore uses. I love the Mount Kilamanjaro photos. Funny stuff. Scientists tear that apart as not being evidence, yet he gets a Nobel Peace Prize. Hillarious.
I know this will tick off the evangelicals when I say this, but the followers of Albert believe that evidence over the last 500 proves global warming. I will stick with the real scientists who show the cycles over the last 4 and a half BILLION years. Those people panic over a one day drop in the stock markets and jump out of windows. People like me look at the long term trends instead.
Oh...and speaking of short term trends...we have been cooling the last five years. Maybe we need to listen to Drew Carey and pull out the aerosol cans and spray them in the air while saying what he said, "Screw the grandkids, I'm cold now!"

Hillary Clinton was on WWE Raw last night.
That is not bad enough.
Barack Obama was on WWE Raw last night.
That is also not bad enough.
John McCain was on WWE Raw last night.
Luckily, as Jet Roberts pointed out on the show this morning, it was obvious that none of them watch WWE Raw. And that is a good thing.
Meanwhile, President Bush was on "Deal or No Deal"....not as a contestant. Though, based on his business deals in the 1980's that turned failure into success, he might do OK on that show. "Jeopardy!"...not so much.
Next season on Dancing with the Has Beens, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. and J. Danforth Quayle. No, not as partners.
-----------------
Good news for the Kansas City Royals tonight. C.C. Sabathia is pitching for the Indians. He won the Cy Young Award last season and is pitching like Rick Vaughn this season.
Fans of the Blue can hope this holds for at least another game.

Comments are always appreciated. For example, my friend Roger Thompson shared with me that the recent earthquakes in Illinois that shook Indiana stuck him like the end of the TV series "Newhart"...he dreamt that he lived in Alabama for eight years, then moved to Indiana...but woke up back in Huntington Beach, California.
Thanks for sharing that Roger!
