Fundy's Monday Morning Soapbox Rant

I, as consumer can damn well do as I please with the items that I have purchased. But not according to the village idiot.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

Well now are you going to send the frickin AC police after me for keeping my house at a cozy 69 degrees in the summer? Good luck enforcing that one. And yes, I drive a SUV that consumes massive amounts of fuel, so frickin what, I can pay for it so shut your piehole!

Oh and for all of you Hippies I do own and drive an 84 Vw Vanagon, aka hippie van, hell my SUV gets better gas mileage than the van, and the van releases more pollutants to the environment. But hey, you hippies call it being rebellious right?


Update from Powerline.

At the Corner, Yuval Levin asks: "So at what temperature would other countries like me to keep my home, then, and how much should I eat?"

Comments like that will sink Obama in the deep South. Telling an audience that the Europeans think badly of them might fly in Seattle or New York, but it'll go over about as well as a fat carpetbagger down in Dixieland.

Funny you should mention the AC police coming to your house. Here's a little story I was thinking about blogging on earlier in the year.

It's about a proposal in California to install new remote control thermostats in homes and businesses that would allow the utilities (or the government) to control the temp settings in your house. Not only that but "Customers could not override the thermostats during 'emergency events,' according to the proposal"

So the AC police would not have to come to your house. They would just set your temp to where they beieve it should be from their desk, and go back to playing WoW.

Maybe the 75k is worth the solar system just to get off the grid. Just love that there is no definition of "emergency events".

Damnit just got powned in PvP time to take revenge on the customers, "I declare an emergency event!"
