[...] still extremely arrogant. Take every human in existence and measure their mass. Now compare that to 10^22 tons. We’re really a big threat, ain’t [...]

Turned on all of the lights, and left the house around 7:30PM. They burned all through the night and into the following afternoon before I returned. Money well spent.

She…….she……….she sometimes gets sad and depressed especially when it’s been days since she was able to either access IMAO or kill murlocks or she visits any news site no matter where. We just had, what is for our area, a major winter storm so unfortunately we had to keep abreast of the news. It was a frustrating couple of days. Thanks 4 of 7, Harvey and of course my guardian angel Jimmy. The spouse reminded me that the Lord would have saved Sodom and Gohmorrah if they could have found a few good folks. It’s people like y’all who keep the world going.

Thank you.

"Bite me" indeed, LOL. Reporting from the field: For that 1 specific hour Saturday night, I turned on every lightbulb (the old incandescent kind) in the house, inside and out. I also turned on my printer (even though it's not connected to the computer), the DVD and VHS players (empty), and all three TVs (even though I wasn't watching any of them). After EH/HAH, I turned off all of the above except one lamp and one TV, and ate a huge red meat steak dinner whilst giggling my way through Blazing Saddles. Take that, hippies!

Just saw the report that there was no change in electricity uses in NY or California.
Let see now -how to spin this one – I got it. It’s Bush’s fault, except for Alaska which was – we know who’s fault.

I was working-lights on, power tools, etc. Part of the whole being a conservative, having a job, actual responsibilities thing; no spare rat’s asses.

Ah, sean-nie is just being lazy and whiney…two characteristics I deplore. Sheesh…what’s so bad about Wal-Mart…wish we had more of ‘em up here in the Peoples Republic of NJ.

My house was so lit up last night, I noticed that incoming airliner traffic to Phila International were ignoring the normal Apache II arrival procedure and just turning final over my house. I was LIT…the house was pretty bright too. And I let my cars run in the driveway for the entire hour, too…..

Bite me, Gore.

I’m gonna party like it’s two zero zero nine
Snort me a few white lines
Fight global warming in my nose
Do me some cool cool blow

seanmahair, my discouraged Celtic Grandmama! Some here don’t know the meaning of your name. And it saddens me that you’re feeling so down about the state of the world.

Just remember, for every sinner on this Earth, there is an anti-sinner. And those anti-sinners are mostly responsible for all the human achievements that we admire.

I celebrated Human Achievement Hour last night – and today, I shall plant more spring garden in the Earthly soil I’m so fond of.

Found at Scrappleface…….. Actor Ed Norton, the Earth Hour 2009 U.S. Ambassador, today announced that, in addition to ordering all citizens and businesses to extinguish lights at 8:30 Saturday night, he has also signed an “ambassador order” calling for all clocks to move ahead one hour each night for the rest of the Obama administration.
“Each time we spring ahead an hour, we bypass 60 minutes during which vast quantities of carbon would have been belched into the atmosphere by coal-fired plants,” said Norton. “Under this plan, the Earth will be spared from more than 2,800 hours worth of carbon emissions during President Obama’s first two terms alone.”
The ambassador said Earth Hour embassy staff members have “gone above and beyond the call of duty to set an example for the rest of the nation. We’ve been walking around in the dark for months now. We’re committed to saving the planet from the global warming scourge which is currently masquerading as a decade-long cooling trend.”
Norton, who is not related to the sewer worker of the same name in Jackie Gleason’s TV show “The Honeymooners,” likened the Earth Hour observance to the Civil Rights March on Selma, which coincidentally happened 44 years ago to the month.
While Earth Hour is expected to pack all the symbolic punch of the Selma march, Norton said he hopes police won’t react against participants with billy clubs, tear gas and bull whips.
“We’re especially concerned about the tear gas,” he said, “because it’s nearly as bad for the Earth’s atmosphere as carbon dioxide.”

Twitter can cumbersomely be used to page shit that happens you hear on your police scanner out to other people who like to know about shit happening. See http://twitter.com/scandiego/

John 14:1-3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

II Corinthian 4:16-18
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

Keep the faith, Seanmahair!
(the news just reminds us of what we’ve known all along: that people are fools.
Or, more charitably, that they are sheep without a shepherd.
But we have a good shepherd, so fear not!)

So many ways to celebrate in such a short period of time. One thing I will do is play the Trace Atkins’ song “Every Light in the House is On” over and over again during the hour and use the great invention, the cell phone to call local radio stations asking that they do likewise.

Poor seanmahair…

It’s not his fault he feels like this…unless you can find fault with things like WILLINGLY going to news(type) sites. Nothing he says…er…types is wrong per se; I just like to think of the words of the great philosopher, Sergeant Hulka, in the movie “Stripes” when he said, “Lighten up Francis!”

I’ll kickback, put a new cable on my crossbow, watch the latest episode of 24 on hulu, and smile at the stupid brainwashed “useful idiots” who really believe they will make a difference by turning off their lights.

seanmahair – It’s not about the masses, the average person sucks, no doubt. Besides, it’s mostly a “Screw You” to the Greenies anyway.

After trolling the responsible news(type) sites I have to say……..exactly what human achievement are we to celebrate. Is it the ability of human being to destroy each other on a large scale with not just weapons of mass destruction but by taxing them to bankruptcy as well as social engineering Mayhaps it is the achievement of breaking every single commandment given by any deity, at any time, any where? Perhaps it is elevating to positions of power and authority people who don’t have the integrity of a louse or the common sense of a goose……..

I know it’s the achievement of becoming so blatantly self obsessed, self focused, selfish and self loathing that even if someone managed to kill everyone nothing in the entire galaxy would shed one single tear. Most likely they would say, as one does to guests who stay too long, “thank goodness they are finally gone, now we can relax for a change….good riddance to bad rubbish.”

I am really a conservative, I swear but I am so tired of this crap I could seriously start making glass parking lots out of places like Iraq/Iran, Russia, China, Cuba as well as New York, LA, Atlanta and Chocolate city (New Orleans) and many and sundry places in between. People as a species are a waste of carbon just go to Wal Mart and you’ll know exactly what I mean.

During Earth Hour I’m going to run through a hospital intensive care unit unplugging all the monitors and life support systems. When the nurses call security and the guards rush at me I’ll yell “THEY’RE A SMALL SACRIFICE TO MAKE FOR OUR MOTHER EARTH! AND TURN OFF THOSE FLASHLIGHTS, CORPORATE FACISTS!”
