Turn lights out for out-of-work veep

Lights out, America. This weekend we are encouraged to turn our lights off for one hour to conserve? Seems like a small price to pay towards this enormous debt America supposedly owes for its contribution to Al Gore's Global Warming Theory.

I have a feeling that the one hour imposition is just the first step in the long road we will be traveling down in the politicians' and corporations' convenient cause to take our hard earned cash for something we don't fully understand nor seen proof of.

So, in essence, driving to work and heating our homes has caused this enormous planet to "overheat." Solution is to have us reduce our "carbon footprints" by paying corporations, such as the large one owned by Al Gore, to plant a tree for us.

How ingenious, Al. Start writing those checks people, for the increases that are ahead, in oil, gas, water, plastics and don't forget those ridiculous light bulbs that if broken have to be discarded by men in haz-mat suits!

You have got to love the politicians who are running our government. At least we now they have a sense of humor America will take one giant step back in the world's progressive market, all for a convenient theory from an out-of-work vice president who thinks the planet has a fever.
