| Fight Climate Change...Fly A Plane In Circles |
| 2008-05-13 |
| Todd Myers, Washington Policy Center Blog Tomorrow, presidential candidate Sen. John McCain will be in Seattle to discuss his cap-and-trade proposal to reduce greenhouse gases and fight climate change. Some, however, aren't happy and will be protesting. The State Democratic Party will be attacking McCain's effort to "boost his faux 'maverick bona fides,'." (By the way, the letters from "faux maverick bona fides" can be rearranged to spell "Scuba Rove Affixed A Mink" which can only be some secret code.) Get out your VRWC secret decoder rings! How they will be doing it, however, is interesting. According to the Tacoma News Tribune, "The plan is to hire an airplane that will carry a special message to Republican John McCain, and everybody else who is paying attention." Maybe the banner will say "McCain: Faux Maverick Bona Fides." So the way they are going to attack John McCain for his climate change plan is to hire an airplane to fly around in circles burning fuel. . . . and spewing carbon dioxide, which kills polar bears! Bad Democrats! You're making Gaia weep! If that doesn't demonstrate a contrast, I don't know what does. |

| #1 Makes about as much sense as trying to force Micheal Savage off the air to protect freedom of speech. |
