And watching basketball!  Villanova and Pitt are playing with 20 seconds left to go with a three point game.  I wonder how many of the global warming crowd will turn their TVs off to miss it if it goes into overtime. 

My Earth Hour in the eastern timezone is coming to a close.  I turned on every light in the motel room and I'm watching television through the VCR.  In a few minutes, Mrs. Schumway in the central time zone will turn on every light in our 4000sqft house... four bedrooms, four baths, kitchen, dining room, den, conversation pit and garage.  Let the weak amongst you try to overcome my light with your darkness.  The light will win every time!

Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea. ~Andrew Breitbart

...and this from Reuters is downright stupid.

They can't help themselves...they have an agenda to fill...total BS matters not to these low-life slugs.

the msm will paint a glowing picture of the success of "earth hour", complete with (doctored) satellite photos showing the lights going out time zone by time zone.  it will be much akin to the satellite photos of washington dc on inauguration day from which - even though imagery experts stated showed only approximately 800,000 people - the msn reported over two million people were crowded onto the national mall.

for the record, it's 84 muggy degrees here in northeast florida.  my a/c is on, i have outside and inside lights burning, and the pool is running.  i have spoken with many, many folks around here, and none  of them are observing "earth hour".  in fact, most of them have taken to spitting any time they have to say the word "green"!

"i believe he will not stop until we are all jobless, homeless, hungry, and cold!"

No joke here, several of my neighbors conspicuously have all of their outdoor lights, and most indoor lights on.

Over one million home robberies were reported worldwide during Earth Hour last night, according to several major news sources. Most insurance companies, especially here in America, refuse to pay off the massive insurance claims these thefts incurred.

A spokesman for the insurance corporations released the following statement: "If people were "responsible" enough to leave their lights off during a period of darkness, all in an effort to show their support for the Environment, then they should be responsible for the losses they incurred when a part of that environment invades their homes and removes valuable electronic devices."

President Obama has announced that he is "looking into" a bailout plan for the tens of thousands of American homeowners who lost thousands of dollars of unused electrical devices during Earth Hour and who's insurance claims will not be honored. "The people should not be responsible for their own stupidity, should they? I mean, that's what government is for, is it not?," stated Mr. Obama when proposing this newest bailout plan.

If 1 billion people are so convinced of this AGW nonsense that they are willing to take action and show support for "Earth Hour" then why do we need governments from around the world to pass such regressive and draconian laws to restrict CO2 emissions? All the believers have to do is voluntarily put their money where there mouth is and world CO2 emissions will go down.

If Reuters can predict the future, maybe they could tell us how the stock market will perform on Monday. There could be money in this.

Walked out on the front porch tonight at the alloted time...EVERBODY on my street had at least one light on...a porch light, yard floods, upstairs or downstairs lights, etc. 

'Course, I had trouble seeing'em though because ALL of my lights were on (with all my lights on, my house looks like the scene from Close Ecounters when the humongous mother ship shows up on the mountain top and does the light show). 

Even had the flashers going on my car...blink, blink, blink...

Oh no!! Think about the lost tax revenue from the saved electricity!!

This just in from Plugz Biden: Only those who are un-patriotic celebrate Earth Hour!

When I saw this "billion" figure on the Yahoo Home page, I thought to myself, "Now how in Heaven's name can they know this?"

These dipsh**s can't even truthfully tell us how many showed up for the "Million Man March!", and we're supposed to believe this figure?

Sorry, but these people need to be told in no uncertain terms to go pound sand!

And these Secular Humanists say they don't like having religion shoved down their throats...give me a break! Between all of those moronic "Green" commercials, The Dems "Green jobs" and now this...who are the ones shoving their religion down others throats?

I did my part here.  I was at a rave at that time.  Nothing like seizure inducing strobe lights and glow sticks to unify with the *cough* 1 billion people who turned off their lights.

Last night at 8:30, I turned on all of my outside lights for one hour.  Later that night, I thanked the Lord for our beautiful planaet and the for the sun which gives us life sustaning warmth, more warmth in some eras than in others.

But I made sure to leave the lights and TV on for my two cats.  <g> 

My porch lights (front and back) are on 24 hours a day, including right through my celebration of Human Achievments Hour with all my inside lights on.  And my TV, and my and my wife's computers.

Apparently, some handful (or more) of idiots who did participate in "Earth Hour" were under the delusion that they were "sticking it" to the "EVIL" electrical companies by turning their lights off for an hour.  I seriously doubt any electrical distribution sub-station had a noticable change in its demand; I would love to hear about it if there was, but I'm not sure how to go about finding out.

Reuters neglected to mention that 99 percent of those billion people have no electricity to begin with, as they live in third world countries like Zimbabwe. Nice spin, Reuters! Next you'll be telling us that those same people reject the big agra-business and mega-farms in favor of a healthy, "organic" lifestyle. Who cares if a billion people are slowly starving to death in the dark? At least they're all environmentally conscious, right?
