Wow, just wow, this must be the best video I've seen re HarperLand in the last three years, the best, ever. The best. I played it three times now where do I find the lyrics on line. Good job, man, good job.

I saw that interview. Boy did she look like a lying fool

[Matthew Raketti]

Ezra Levant is the man. Still they did a good job (satire wise) in putting this together. Very funny...

fk big oil

[Eric Côté]

Two words: Research and development. We can get off oil someday, or at least depend on it much less as long as enough money is being spent on RnD. Investors aren't going to want to fund that RnD if oil remains at the low (that's right I said low) price it is now. So either oil has to be made more expensive, or governments need to spend money on RnD... but where to get that money? Tax oil, or tax greenhouse emissions.

As a society we need to make difficult choices and have rational debates about those choices. Mocking those that disagree with us only makes us look silly. Entertainment value 10, adding to the rational debate 0.

It can be, it would just be rather unpleasant. Although I disagree with bladder1010, s/he made one point I think I'll borrow: The Amish are living proof of the discardability (I couldn't care less about the fact that this isn't a word) of petroleum, although it would be a lot harder for us than it is for them, and replacing oil would be problematic as well. And in any case, "hard" does not mean "silly to even suggest".

[James Duncan]

Update - Kathryn Marshall now "Former Spokesperson" for EthicalOil - puppet rap FTW!

They've got a new puppet named J-Me. Almost as bad as K-Mart, in case you missed him on Power and Politics this eve!
