The DNC’s “Director Of Greening” and “Carbon Advisor”

So these must be the “Green Jobs” Barack Obama is thinking about. A couple of hundred thousand consultants. Wonderful. It’s a great way to hire and boost the income of friends and family though. That doesn’t include You, suckers. Just so you know.

While most Americans find that what once was their disposable income is now used to barely feed their families with whatever is on “special” this week at the supermarket (healthy or not), the Democratic Party “of The People” is defining other priorities for them. What will the DNC do for the American people at the convention? Why they are going to make sure that Prissy Barack Obama has his arugula, I am sure. But they won’t stop there. No sir.

They have hired a Director Of Greening. No kidding. That’s the title. You can’t make this shit up.

What’s environmental activist Andrea Robinson’s job as Director of Greening, you ask?

Robinson will work to find ways to make the preparation and conducting of the convention as environmentally friendly as possible, said Leah Daughtry, the Democratic National Convention Committee chief executive, speaking at the committee’s third “Convention Conversations” forum in Boulder.

Does anybody here, after having just returned from an actual day’s work, understand what this….um…means?

Whatever it means, Andrea can’t do this job all by herself. No sir. She has hired a firm to serve as Official Carbon Advisor to:

“measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed.”

No offense, DNC, but no wonder you can’t keep any money in your coffers.

I wonder if this woman was involved in the legislation that phases out all incandescent lighting by 2012, thus facilitating as many migraines and epileptic seizures as possible. You know about those fluorescent lighting replacements don’t you? They aren’t quite finished yet folks, as in “back to the drawing board, please”. They contain mercury which can cause brain, kidney and liver damage. Then there are those folks who prefer not to burn their homes down with halogens, but ah, screw them too. Just so you know: if you break a fluorescent curly bulb you are supposed to evacuate the entire room for 15 minutes and close off any ventilation. Bet you didn’t know that huh? I threw one out before I found this out. How the hell did I know that the environmentalists are encouraging me to use something that’s hazardous to my and everyone else’s health? I thought they were supposed to be protecting me. Anyways, you should know that if you live in an apartment, you must call down to maintenance to turn off the air conditioning if you break one of those bulbs. Good luck with that. *The EPA has a whole warning page about these bulbs folks. You would think that all of these environmental “consultants” would first insist that these replacement bulbs we will be REQUIRED to use would at least be safe to humans. But nahhhhhhh. It seems like a fair tradeoff for these nutballs, right? And they will look great in the family heirloon chandeliers! Why I just BET Michelle Obama will be sticking those ugly yellow-lighting little bastards in HER chandelier over at the Hyde Park homestead, don’t you? I wonder what the Director Of Greening thinks about all of this?

Ok I digressed. I can do that. It’s my blog.

Back to the Greening of the Convention, I know that this makes you all feel a lot better economically. I know it makes you feel much more secure knowing that the Democratic Party is in tune with your most pressing needs at this time. They want you to know they Care. I know that having a Green Convention will help you to fill up the tank, catch up on last month’s bills and make you feel included along with the left-cliff radical whackjobs who are sponsoring The Incandescent One. (We will have to change that to the Flourescent One in 2012).

It’s good to know that the Democratic Party is thinking of us at all times, don’t you agree? A Green Convention. Whoa, Thanks guys! So what if you have shoved a duplicitous pandering sack of crap down our throats as our “nominee”? We are going to let that pass because your convention will be Green!

I suppose we should at least be grateful that they haven’t assigned Ministers of Plenty and Truth. Yet.

As a side note, I also suspect that if the food is going to be doled out according to Ms. Anderson’s specifications, Donna Brazile is going to be showing up with a HUGE tote bag full of fried stuff she can scarf down in the ladies’ room. Considering her…ah…. constitution, I hardly envision her going for the ratatouille.

How the Hell are they going to operate the crap cannons without wasting Hydro?

Low flow cannons, my friend. A very smooth barrel, lots of compression and lots of compressed air. Does have a slight problem with enveloping the user in a cloud of poo.. . . .

But you can always look around you with an annoyed look on your face.

“As the Official Carbon Advisor, Camco will work with the DNCC to estimate the Convention’s carbon footprint;……and advise on opportunities to offset the remaining emissions produced from hosting the Convention.”

WOO HOO!

Camco is a leading carbon asset developer with one of the world’s largest carbon credit portfolios. We generate carbon credits by partnering with companies to identify, develop and manage projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Camco then arranges the sale and delivery of carbon credits to international compliance buyers and into the voluntary market.

Camco is a market leader in China and Russia – two of the largest potential markets for carbon credits http://dev.camcoglobal.com/camco_whatwedo.php

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

HOOOOOOOOOOOO Yeah!

Everyone is going to make a mint off the convention.

Do DNC donors know there donations are going to China to buy indulgences, I mean, credits?

tish

keep voting the dems in and we will be the green slaves for them…after all al gore needs more energy and food….to keep his b…s going

bart

Holy poop! Didn’t know THAT about those curly bulbs either! I just bought a bunch! AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!

And this strikes me as a massive waste of money too. I would think there are easier ways to be earth-friendly than by hiring a consultant firm.

Sheeeeshh!

tish

must be nice to be so rich off americans to waste money without any care , oh thats right they can beg for more or just raise taxes how silly of me

So these must be the “Green Jobs” Barack Obama is thinking about. A couple of hundred thousand consultants. Wonderful. It’s a great way to hire and boost the income of friends and family though. That doesn’t include You, suckers. Just so you know.

The Green Jobs Barack is talking about is the pie in the sky idea that wind and solar can power our economy and move are cars, that the government is going to throw out of work the coal miners and they will migrate into solar cell technician jobs and make solar cells and windmills, jobs Obama says “cannot be outsourced”, but of course can quite easily and for the technicians they won’t be “found” so we need immigration “reform”, and so on.

The convention folks are just elite green capitalists who know how to milk a trend.

The Democrat party elite are the latte liberals and Vietnam War protester trust fund babies, who are about to find out a coup by devious Chicago hucksters has occured in their party, but they probably won’t mind as long as Obama tells them, “you are the smart ones. you are the ones you have been waiting for.” He appeals to the arrogance of avant-guardism.

http://mjmotley@blogspot.com Archimedes, give me a place to stand…

Just a quick pause in all this rush to greening. There are two historical periods that we should take note of. I would recommend that people should google them and THINK about.

1)The Medievel Optimum/roughly 1000bc-1450bc
A quick hint, the last global warming period.

2)The Little Ice Age/roughly 1450bc-1850bc
Another hint if you can’t guess, the global cooling.

Who was driving SUV’s in 1000bc, and what made them stop around 1450bc?

Answer no one and they did’nt because none existed.

It would seem to anyone of rational mind, and there VAST amounts of geological data to support, that the planet has NEVER been climatically static.

Ask any astro-physisist and they will tell you that we are experiencing increased solar storms. Which means the sun is radiating more heat.

You might then ask why is it only effecting earth. Answer it is’nt, astro-physisists have been recording increased temperetures on the other planets as well.

I am all for a cleaner planet, hell, I grew up in the redwoods in Mendocino Ca.(moonbat central)and love nature as much as anyone. But let us do this rationally without forcing ourselves back into the stone age.

If you really want to to worry about something, worry about the rapidly diminishing fresh water tables for one. Why do you think China built that monsterous dam? Their water table is just 65% of what it was in 1950.

Or try the state of our world fisheries which provide 90% of the protien that humans consume. According to NOAH, 90% of the large ocean fish we consume are gone. And further state that of the 17 major world fisheries, 13 are fished out beyond recovery.

It took all of human history to 1950 for the population to reach 2.5 billion. In the last 50yrs it has nealy trebled to 7.1!

This is the shit we need to start worrying about.

Not to mention all the mercury and fish advisories in nearly every state in America.

Why do I keep wanting to call you Archie for short. lol

When Omigodno was in Montana for last call he told everyone in his first breathtaking moment on stage that he was running for President so he could save “these” mountains for “our children and grandchildren”…so they could hike there.

I rushed to call on friends and famiy up north to be sure the Poconos were still there. They were, thank goodness. The streams and creeks are another thing though.

Thank god they won’t have to CHANGE the name of that State come 1/15/09.

Next thing: Probably gonna push back the date for his Coronation.

I got a fundraising letter from Obama a couple days ago, it said “WE are the people we’ve been waiting for” pretty funny stuff. I took the envelope and sent it back with a few pages of “I own my vote stuff” and I let Obama pick up the postage tab too!
Deke

When I was young and naive I worked for the local McGovern campaign. He was a honorable man but ran a campaign from la la land. People want meat and potatoes and although the environment is an important issue actions like this trivialize the issue and make supporters of environment look silly. This is just another example of how Obama is not ready for prime time. He has reduced his campaign to sound bites a trivial actions. This has become la la land redux.

This is the liberal dems at work. Save the planet no matter what the cost to the people that live on it. You only make 50k a year! well we will give you a tax break on your income but we are going to stick it to you from behind. Your cost for food, clothes, gas, and everything else will be higher but the earth will be saved. From what I ask, from what?
Dear lord, this green crap is just that, CRAP!!!!!

Felix Rodriguez

Yep. Have you noticed that any reputable scientist that goes against the “consensus” gets axed from his or her job? Did you notice how NASA last year admitted ALL their temperature data for last few decades of the 20th century had been wrong and then they got shut-up, too?

The consensus amongst scientists does not exist. It is all spin. For everyone of the scientists who shouts “warming due to greenhouse gases” there is another scientist pointing at sun-spot activity during the last half of 20th century. The ones that point to sun-spots get canned right quick.

This is the biggest hoax of all. It is ALL about money.

Proved: There is no climate crisis

WASHINGTON (7-15-08) – Mathematical proof that there is no “climate crisis” appears today in a major, peer-reviewed paper in Physics and Society, a learned journal of the 10,000-strong American Physical Society, SPPI reports.

* The IPCC’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%;
* CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100;
* Not one of the three key variables whose product is climate sensitivity can be measured directly;
* The IPCC’s values for these key variables are taken from only four published papers, not 2,500;
* The IPCC’s values for each of the three variables, and hence for climate sensitivity, are overstated;
* “Global warming” halted ten years ago, and surface temperature has been falling for seven years;
* Not one of the computer models relied upon by the IPCC predicted so long and rapid a cooling; * The IPCC inserted a table into the scientists’ draft, overstating the effect of ice-melt by 1000%;
* It was proved 50 years ago that predicting climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible;
* Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed;
* In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.

Kind of reminds me of the old bomb shelter hoax. Not to mention Y2k.
JozefAL

How the hell did they measure Pluto’s temperature to know whether or not it’s “warmed up” ANY?
I’d also like to know how we have the technology to determine that Pluto’s temperature has warmed yet we’re supposedly accepting 50-year-old “wisdom” that “climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible”?
Regardless of what the Science and Public Policy Institute CLAIMS, I don’t see that their “proof” has any more validity than what they attempt to refute.
After going to their website and checking some of the names connected, I found that one name included the word “Republican” in his biography and another name mentioned “Margaret Thatcher” in his. This (to me, at least) suggests that the “Institute” is NOT as “[f]ree from affiliation to any corporation or political party” as it claims to be.
Dominic Marcello

“Mathematical proof that there is no “climate crisis” appears today in a major, peer-reviewed paper in Physics and Society, a learned journal of the 10,000-strong American Physical Society, SPPI reports. “

This isn’t true. The article has not been peer reviewed. Anyone who had actually bothered to READ it would have noticed this, as it says point blank on the first page it is not peer reviewed:
“The following article has not undergone any scientific peer review, since that is not normal procedure for American Physical Society newsletters.”

Nor is it a major paper. Its an article in a newsletter written by a journalist.

Maybe we should have the carbon omissions from all those political hacks checked out and put a stop to that (there’s alot of hot air there). Can you imagine the omissions coming from both conventions? Algore and all his green crap group fly around in jets and ride in SUV’s and tell us to conserve and that oil is baaaddd. Well listen al and the green crap group. Oil was in the earth and was used before your ideas forced the nation to this point and it will be there after you are dead and eaten by bugs. So algore, go fly your jet off and leave the sane people alone.

I say Drill here, drill now, heck just drill anywhere. My back yard is available if they need it. (don’t think there is any oil there though)

So, why is this climate information not front-page news and on every night on every tv station in the country.

Answer: We are herded like sheep and the DNC is the worst ofender. The Republicans knew from the beginning the climate crisis was a hoax and they tried to tell us.

Conservation is one thing and I’m behind it 100%. Global Warming is about money.

A tax break isn’t going to help a family who can’t afford the upfront costs to begin with. Solar panels come to mind. The problem with our elected officials is they have life to easy on our money so they have lost touch of what it REALLY costs to live from their own wallets.

That’s why they are so oblivious to the starvation and huge price spikes in grains thanks to The Daschle Ethanol Party. Cha Ching.

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

The French are studying the rape seed for biol fuel development. Nobody starves. Rape seed is inedible. I remember my family using it’s oil to lube heavy equipment. A number of years ago somebody pimped rape seed on us because it was worthless. So inedible that even bugs wouldn’t eat them. So they processed the crap out of it an voila! Canola Oil. Now if they used rape seeds, we might have to live without canola oil or pay more for it, but nobody on earth would starve or be unable to feed their families for a reasonable price. But nope. We gonna take all the corn, make a few peole really rich and stick it to the rest of the world.

To this day, I still cannot bring myself to use canola oil. lol.

y’know, I always wondered what the heck a Canola was… but I guess they had to come up with something, since trying to market ‘rape oil’ would be a nightmare…

Who is Monsanto? They used to do textiles before they monopolized agriculture.

Who are these people behind that curtain?

I wonder.

bart

Whew! Monsanto. Wow. How about the company that sells genetically modified grain (to resist wheat blight, I think) and requires farmers to buy new grain every year?

They sue if they THINK you’ve used post-harvest seeds. They sue if some of their wheat turns up in your fields even if you don’t buy or plant their product.

They want farmers to have to buy grain every year. And as you know, if you grow something, you can plant new seeds resulting from that growth.

Unless you’ve got grain from Monsanto.

BREAKING

HRC Campaign Aides Buy 2012 Website

A company associated with Hillary Clinton’s top presidential campaign advance staff has purchased a website domain that hints of a 2012 presidential bid for the vanquished senator from New York.

HRC2012.com was bought by the Markham Group on June 8, according to whois.com

Greg Hale of the Markham Group served as a key advance aide to Sen. Clinton, organizing political events for the campaign. The Markham website calls him the “lead consultant for advance and visual messaging.” Partners Paul Neaville and Robert McClarty (the son of former White House chief of staff Thomas “Mack” McClarty) also worked on Clinton’s advance team. According to whois.com, the site was registered by Todd Wilder, a longtime Democratic operative from Florida.

A picture of Clinton pops up when the company’s website is called up.

Hillary Clinton tackles Bush on Abortion

Well if Barky became president, women would have far bigger things to worry about than abortion. Like respect, dignity and equality–because this pig has set back gender relations a minimum of 30 years. If these young girls want to spawn for Obama’s vibrating cell phone, then they don’t care about their rights that are being whittled and insulted daily by this campaign. They think they always had these rights and it’s not so. Perhaps if they have to fight for them all over again, they will Get It. Let em eat vibrating cell phones.

Yikes, we need people to recognize that community gardens are an option– good exercise and healthier food.

B from Bloomington

I believe in trying to be green as a way of life. It’s a personal choice for me. Yes, there is much to be done to improve light bulbs and the like, but we need to reduce our dependency on non-renewable resources and protect the environment.

But what bo is doing is politics, pure and simple. He has voted for legislation to reduce restrictions on polluting for nuclear facilities and big oil companies. He has voted to give nuclear facilities billions in taxpayer subsidies and in addition, told them that any spills would be cleaned up at the taxpayer’s expense. Some incentive to keep it clean, now isn’t it?

This is a sideshow attraction. Smoke and mirrors. He’s just trying to fool environmentalists into thinking he is there friend. Bamboozling them.

The following links describe the Bush/Cheney Energy Bill that bo voted for in 2005 and shows that he did, indeed vote for it while Clinton and McCain voted against it:

I appreciate what you are saying and I actually do NOT disagree with you. But when it comes to CFL’s we aren’t talking “needs improvement”. We are talking Health Hazard. Fix one thing, break another. Wouldn’t it be smarter and more caring of living things if we improved those bulbs BEFORE we made them mandatory??

You are right on with Obama. How about the legislation he wrote on radiation leaks? The people begged him to do something about Exelon. All they wanted was to make it mandatory for exelon to notify them if there’s a leak. By the time Barky was done, the legislation was worthless. He changed it so that Exelon can “volunatarily” notify the people in the event of a leak. Of course that 100k his buddy Frank Clark (board of directors) bundled for his race didn’t influence him at all I’m sure. And of course the fact that exelon itself is one of his top ten contributors means nothing too. After all, he doesn’t take money from lobbyists…..

Yeah, it’s not perfect. It’s my understanding that fluorescent bulbs have always contained mercury, so over the years many have gone into landfills. Here we are required to take all spent fluorescent bulbs to a recycling facility and pay 15 cents per bulb for proper disposal. I don’t mind. But in Europe, the disposal fee is included in the price of the bulb, and the manufacturers are required to take care of recycling. That would be the better short term solution. Long term solution being research and production of safer bulbs. Clinton wants to word for R&D/clean energy jobs (among other things) to get the economy going, people working, and move the country toward energy self-sufficiency.

With bo, doubt American companies would ever be required to be responsible for the products they produce… actually, bo pushed for legislation to make it harder to sue companies for products that result in injury. So, he most certainly is pro big business/big profits, and would not likely back a plan such as the one in Europe.

And as you point out, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the environment or if people start glowing in the dark from radiation… probably considers it a plus, ’cause then we wouldn’t need CFs!

A couple of points…

1) we can’t blame Obama for this “Director of Greening” position — or the stupid way its been handled. She was hired back in December 2007.

2) While the idea of running an environmentally responsible convention is a good idea, calling it the ‘director of greening” is embarrassing

3) This woman is a joke….
a) hiring a company to “measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed” is stupid. My guess is that the carbon footprint created by this company is a lot bigger than just saying “hey, reuse that disposable coffee cup, okay”
b) the food rules are completely idiotic — especially the ‘color’ rules.

Well done. And don’t forgot your Hepatitis shots since you never know whose cup you will be “reusing”.

The Real Hope

Yes and who knows how many times it has been urinated in too!

During a recent move, a package of those “curly bulbs” fell off a table, breaking three of them. I swept up the glass just like I’d have done with traditional incandescent bulbs. Maybe it’s a good thing I have a doctor’s appointment next week…

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

I broke one before I learned you need “special” routines. I threw it in the trash.

They are keeping this crap from us. We will find out AFTER the law takes affect. Basically, Screw You.

AX10

Don’t forget the Hollywood gang. Too many of them love to preach to us how to live our lives all the while they live in 10-20,000 square foot mansions, drive eight cylinder 3 ton “luxury” cars and SUV’s, and have their own private jets. Heck, John Travolta has a small fleet of private jets.

The Real Hope

Hussies of Hollywood! Disgusting degenerates, not to mention uneducated! We could count on the fingers of our hands how many have college degrees. And they are dictating morality and politics? They’ll be tarred and feathered along with their Svengali.

Oh yes and Scarlet Johansson (sp) wasn’t she emailing the Mannequin from Chicago also? I thought they were having some kind of cyber-eunuch relationship?

AX10

I do not appreciate their blatant hypocracy.

Nader Rox

wait a minute! i read recently that moving the convention to the Big Boy Arena (and forgetting to tell Pelosi & Reid, lol), is an envi nighmare

wtf?

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

Yeah but it doesn’t count. They are important. Furthermore, congress always exempts itself from the crap they dump on us.

I love how Al Gore is always running his mouth about being “Green” while flying around is his pvivate jet and living in a 25,000 sq ft house. He will tell you it’s OK though, he buys carbon credits.

WildChild

What kind of jet does Al own?
wry

I don’t think Al Gore has a private jet or lives in a 25,000 square foot house.
Remember many of us on this site are environmentalists. The movement isn’t stupid, but the DNC’s pretentions are.
I eat healthfully all the time. Who the hell cares if I eat pork rinds fried in lard and salted with MSG at the convention?
It’s all for show. Phonies make me sick.

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

Al only has a 10,000 sq foot home.

He has been known to fly on a private Gulfstream Jet, the kind that he would whack you over the head for using.

In the year 2006, the Gore’s kilowatt consumption was 191,000, with average consumption for a typical Nashville home of 15,500 kilowatts.

got a little off topic with your rant on the EPA didn’t ya? I guess you don’t get the green channel on cable-

by the way, “anyway” is never plural

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

No but I get the EPA website.

Hey thanks for your input. I promise to give it all the weight I think it deserves.

Uppity, you always make me laugh while putting out such interesting material. Real talent!

They should all board THAT bus and travel. HoBO can part the Atlantic and save a skillion carbon footprints. Bring your Ponchos, ‘folks’s. (No Plastic Trash Bags)!

While HE (I gaze) is in Europe and then some cave in the Middle East chomping cheetos we can hop over to Michelle’s for respite and maybe a beverage.

Katie, Challie and the credible schmuck from M$NBCastupidperson can have the EXCLUSIVE on the Almighty Oallahbama walks on the Mediterranean right before your lying eyes.

What TF is going on? I was green some 45 years ago.

Thanks for the information on the florescent bulbs, it sounds worthy of investigation and promoting public knowledge about.

I’ll have to wait on that until I quit laughing about the arugula comments. What an enlightening day here as always.
DDH

The best way or should I say only way to be “eco friendly”, is to actually reduce the use. And further more most of the eco friendly products are to expensive for the average consumer. And if you really want to take it another step forward grow your own produce and nuts. The convention is a nightmare if we are to consider it’s impact on the environment. Give me a break…Hopefully they will sell bottled water that is in biodegradable plastics but even so there will be so much waiste produced that nothing they do will actually be beneficial. Such hypocracy.
yttik

LOL, thanks for mentioning those darn lightbulbs, Uppity. That issue drives me crazy!

I guess you haven’t heard that Barkaki changed his position on arugula last week.

Your nominee is doing a great destroying the Democrat party all by himself.

“peasants?” Your “row house?” Name calling? Saving money on lettuce? Since April??? Dude, you need to start a neighborhood co-op and raffle off hemp bags or something.

Huh. Go show yourself somewhere else. We’ve seen you before and we’ve not been impressed any of the other 32 or so times.

Dear Pissant Stevie, Arugula has been eaten by Italian peasants for centuries. If you try to grow it, it will not only take over your land, but crawl up the side of your house. It’s one step up from dandelions. All you fake “upscalers” have achieved is making a cheap bunch of greens cost a lot.
How’s that for being dumbasses?

I’m glad the electric bill declines. I do hope you don’t mind kidney, liver and brain damage (one of the three, you might already have! Guess which?). Know anybody who gets migraines triggered by those bulbs? No? Well may it be YOU next.

As to who writes my material. I do. Where’s YOUR material. I want to read your work so that I might “learn” something. Where is it? Link please? Oh no link, because you are too busy posting on forums to people who actually know how to write.

I’ll wait for the link, mmmmmkay?
justme

LOL this post made me laugh….. why dont he move to europe too to boot…?
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

Oh and one more thing Pissant. I was a Democrat when you were still having bladder accidents and your Mom had to pick you up from school. What I am NOT is a socialist, a marxist, a leninist, a communist or a member of any of those other dead end fringe parties that went belly up, causing all your left cliff nutcases to keep trying to hijack my party.

We stopped you all the other times. And we will stop you now. Because the majority of this party is MODERATE and you will soon find that out just like the failed hijackers before you.

Arugula, is that the green stuff that grows on top of septic tanks in rural areas?
http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com Uppity Woman

HAHAHA. Not when it comes from Whole Foods!

Eruca sativa is a cheap ass weed that rich people imported from Italy and now grown in the U.S. It used to just be a weed that people that people picked off the ground and ate but now Obama and Co. have created a niche market that jacks up the price way beyond what it is worth. Stupid people buy this stuff to make themselves feel sophisticated and eclectic. Yeah, but they don’t care about the price of gas, the dangerous environmentally-friendly (human-unfriendly) products, or democracy.
