Eco-freak, among others, freaks out

Very strange. A few blogs back I was talking about a couple shows on TV, both featuring more or less what the world would be like if there were no human beings. The series on History Channel focused on the decay, things collapsing, weeds and forests reclaiming the cities, etc. The series on Discovery Channel seemed somewhat happy that now the planet could live in peace.

Then this nutcake (he's literally probably constituted of wheat germ) today attacks the Discovery Channel's HQ in Silver Spring, MD, apparently hoping that somehow they would do the show that he wanted to see: How the human race stopped reproducing to keep from corrupting the planet.

The guy arrived in couture de rigeur for crazy blow-em-up types -- carrying a gun and wearing a vest decorated with pipe bombs -- and took a few hostages. The building was very quickly evacuated and no one was hurt. Kudos to the Montgomery County police, who only a few years ago had to deal with that malicious sniper who shot randomly at people throughout Maryland and Virginia. The cops shot and killed the doodlebug as he was drawing a pistol in the direction of a hostage.

So there's one small step toward cleaning up the planet.

I've said before that many of the crazier tree-huggers seem to operate on the theory that human beings don't belong on earth. So I was right. Thank you, Al Gore and all those other jobless and useless people who live in sequoias and occupy themselves by fabricating doomsday scenarios to scare the hell out of innocent bystanders. You wanted crazy; you got crazy.

Then there was the Comrade's rather tedious, but happily very short, speech about US combat troops leaving Iraq.

I took notes, chiefly:  "Now blaming the war for economic depression instead of George W?" And "Now he wants the VA? Didn't he suggest soldiers get their own private insurance?"

So now as we close the chapter on the War in Iraq, we appear to be opening a chapter of a whole new set of lies and deception.

Curiously, a couple days prior to the Comrade's speech, saw side-by-side graphs of how much the War in Iraq cost vs. how much the Stimulus Package cost. Guess what? Stimulus wins by about $1.5 BILLION.

Amazing, isn't it? You can fight and win a whole war, complete with air and naval support, miles-long columns of marines and army. You can fight for, what was it now? eight years?, and still not spend as much on that as Pazzo Pelosi and the Comrade can set aside for pork barrel projects.

I swear, these idiots simply astound me. It's the apparently bottomless depth of their irresponsibility and arrogance, the complete disconnect between their brains and the real world. It's amazing. How can anyone be quite so stupid and gain any kind of public support? I can't understand it.

Christina Romer -- or whatever -- the chubbette with the relentlessly perky smile, a leading White House economic "analyst" -- has already resigned and gone back to Sovietland University or whatever. I guess she would prefer going back home voluntarily to being tarred and feathered. The rest of them should take a lesson.

I just hope when the Republicans sweep in November that they don't get so self-congratulatory that they forget why they were elected. Remember, congresscritters, we the voters are the only friends you have to worry about.

Save the Republic.
