Celebrate “Carbon Belch Day”

terribly early in the morning on Thursday, the 12th of June 2008 by Katie

Today, June 12th, is the first annual Carbon Belch Day.

It is to celebrated by doing any or all of the following: barbequing dinner in the back yard (preferably carbon causing cow meat), driving your car, using your air conditioner and actually setting the thermostat for a comfortable temperature, smoking a cigar, watching TV, and / or leaving lights on in rooms that are empty.

Yes, this is an evil conservative holiday, created by people who were completely fed up with the stupidity that is rampant in Washington. No, I don’t think that it will make a difference (I don’t think that it will change the talking heads in DC and I don’t think that it will contribute to “global warming”). So, it is really a no-harm-no-foul type of a day.

What our country really needs is a government that no longer has a suicide wish, because they are killing us - our country - our economy - our lifestyle - our individual lives. We need them to understand that “cap and trade” will cripple us. That it is necessary to drill offshore (yes, I know that yet another proposal allowing offshore drilling was killed yesterday) and to drill in Alaska, and to produce some oil in our own country (instead of helplessly sitting by watching our hard earned money permanently leave our country and help the economies of our enemies). That we need to find alternative energy and that the alternative energy should not involve burning a major food source…

So celebrate Carbon Belch Day. Have a nice steak from the grill for dinner. Eat in air conditioned splendor. Enjoy life while you are still able to.
