Liberal Cheeseheads Are About To Put Other People’s Money Where Their Mouths Are

January 14th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I’ve always said that people who think global warming is the existential threat its proponents claim it is should go all in.  They should ban Christmas lights, street lights, impose blackout-like energy curfews, enforce limits on home sizes, etc.  We could go back to WWII style gas ration cards, and ban unecessary road trips.  People […]
