Chuck:

I just got done listening to liberal environmentalist Bill McKibben talking on our local indie radio station. It was a recorded talk by Barsamian's Alternative Radio.

McKibben was talking about how talking to farmers at the farmer's market is going to stop global warming. He also mentioned people organizing some contra dancing to protest global warming and some people who will dress in blue t-shirts in NYC to represent "the ocean."

I'm glad the liberals have figured out how to stop global warming. We are in good hands with them.

Vote Obama in 08!

[WS:] Why do you keep calling them "liberals," Chuck? The re are not liberals, they are populists. "Liberalism" which in confused US political jargon means what other countries call "social democracy" supports public institutions as the guardians of public interests. Populism, otoh, accords that role to individuals (the loonier, the better), and their loose assemblies, aka "movements" (which for the most part are downright lunacies.)
