When all else fails to stir economy ... sue

Now that the Bush administration tax cuts are headed for extinction, we should be thinking of ways to make up for more of our money being taken and a likely continuing downturn in the economy as a result.

I could try and work more hours, but I in put in a lot already. So while I was looking at some satellite pictures I realized what I could do. I'll take the Democratic approach: I'll sue. If they pass cap and trade or the EPA acts out its threat to impose its own regulations, I'll sue the urbanites. See, I think they owe us money; I'm ten times greener than almost all city dwellers. I have more trees, flowers, grass, my own well, a pond. Heck, I have over 50 indoor plants. Look at how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and pollution are produced in the concrete heat-producing urban areas where, you know, most liberals reside.

If I lose I'll just keep suing until I find, you know, a sympathetic judge who shares my newfound viewpoint for the environment. I know the city might sue me back for driving in there everyday, but this scheming, and pitting one group against another is sort of cool, it makes me feel like, you know, presidential.
