 Issue #200  I was just about to dig out my crazy meter and dig around for RAW material when Jerry Falwell opened his mouth and saved me some work. Addressing his congregation, Falwell opined that the "jury is still out" about what is causing global warming. He then went on to add that global warming is really just "Satan's attempt to redirect the church's primary focus" away from its true mission of evangelism. He finished by referring to serious environmentalists as "first-class nuts."I'm not sure whether this means that by drawing attention to global warming and trying to prevent it the Sierra Club is working for or against Satan? Seems like Falwell hasn't been checking his inbox, reading the paper, or watching TV lately. He somehow missed the recent IPCC report that definitely ended any remaining scientific debate about the causes and consequences of global warming. And perhaps he didn't get the memo from fellow evangelist Pat Robertson who himself made an about face last year when he announced he was "a convert" on global warming, adding "…it is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels." Fortunately, there are lots of people of faith working hard to stop global warming. Visit our Partnerships page to find out more information about their imporant efforts. Finally, President Bush just can't catch a break. He put on a little show by posing with a plug-in hybrid on the South Lawn of the White House. He took this opportunity to piss off Toyota not once, but twice. First, in deference to the Big Three, the hood was left open the entire time to obscure the fact that it was a Prius. But since Toyota (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't actually make a plug-in hybrid yet, the model he chose to tout was an aftermarket retrofit -- rendering the warranty null and void. Oops! |
