The eniro-wackos tried to take advantage of the media brain-washing here. Glad we came to our senses.

BHO and the democrats in Congress will pass these laws next spring or summer. Right before they pass the cap and trade system that will bankrupt the coal industry and cause the US to be short 20% on it's electricity needs. The results will be ironically funny. Only the "poor and middle class" will fall below the income threshold for getting the credits for the alternative fueled vehicles, but because of skyrocketing electricity bills and their related effect on prices, they won't be able to afford them. Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and the surounding states will be plunged into a regional depression because their economies will be devastated.

Just like the stupid liberal media to focus on the first black President-elect instead of these mega-important green referenda in California.  Where is their sense of proportion?

Then why did they vote Obama with his cap and trade nonsense?  Either Californians are illogical dimwits, or the GOP's constant RINOism has so muddied up the message that ordinary people can't make it out.....<shrug>

Proposition 8 in CA passed.  Banning gay marriage as marriage is between a man and a woman.  Something to cheer about.  This is the second time Californians have spoken against gay marriage.  But guess what, Sodom by the Bay (aka San Franweirdsco) has already filed an appeal with ooop...the most liberal 9th Circuit Appeals Court.  Egad!  Libs let us have this win!!

Hey Noel....Rush just mentioned your blog post here...he said and this from NBs....then went on with what you wrote about the props being defeated.

This is something to smile about today...

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

Heck, the voters didn't notice.  Look at what they keep doing... electing lefties who will do what the voters don't want.

Insanity...

Thank Obama that we atleast didn't pass these.

 I still think stupid Prop 2 should have not passed. It was just an emotion vote.

I thought Prop. 10's defeat was a kick in the teeth to T. Boone Pickens and his efforts for a $10 billion dollar money grab, not an Enviro defeat. Just my $0.02.

Difficult to believe

I happen to think the commercials from S.C. Johnson (Glade, Pledge, Windex) talking about how they're doing their part to reduce greenhouse gases are extraordinarily clever. The most recent is a real wake-up-and-take-notice spot:

• In Michigan, they use electricity from a windmill farm to power a factory.
• In Wisconsin, they use methane gas from an adjacent landfill to power the company that turns out most items branded with Glade, Pledge, Shout, and Windex.
• In their Indonesian plant, they use waste palm husks to power the plant.

These commercials are initially a "hey, consumer, interested in going green? We've been doing it for years--check out our products" spot. But then, I started to notice the imagery, especially in the last spot--standing in the midst of the windfarm, on the edge of the landfill, and under a palm tree in Indonesia--and immediately something more clicked in my head:

• "Hey, look, Pickens! Doesn't this windfarm spot look like the one in your ad? It should, except that you didn't give specific examples of what windfarms are already doing! Geez, do I have to do your job for you?"
• "Why isn't anybody talking about methane gas? We've got enough landfills in this country to produce methane commercially. Look, it works--we're running a plant with it!"
• "Hey, even our third-world factories are greener than other third-world counterparts--we use natural waste products from palm trees to burn in our factory! Where's the idea of using waste food/organic material as materials to burn in factory furnaces instead of fossil fuels? The sugar industry in the U.S. has been doing it for years! Use scrubbers to help clean up emissions, and it's a win/win for everybody involved.
• "Look, folks, my dad was 'green' before there was a word for such a thing. We're solving our plant power needs at least partially with 'environmentally friendly' methods so that we have control over our energy costs and sources. So, what's taking so long for our own government to figure this out? Work with what we've got now as a transition away from foreign oil dependence."

It really must burn Big Business-haters like our incoming President's circle of friends and advisors that some big businesses are already taking action to secure their own energy future.
