If you heard the reports that Wallonia, a French-speaking region of Belgium, had approved a tax on barbecue season to be enforced by helicopter observation, you probably flipped your lid. I know I did. The story, which can still be found at the Russian News and Information Agency Novosti website, was even reported by Rush Limbaugh as a global warming update. The tax of 20 euros was supposed to go into effect this June as a way to offset CO2 emissions, which absolute fools believe causes global warming, and many people, myself included, wondered about the green house gases emitted by the helicopters sent up to spy on people in their back yards. It seemed so ridiculous, too farcical to be true...and it was. The story was released as an April Fool's Day joke, and it worked, but why? How did we get suckered like that? Well, because it sounds like something the global warming kooks would do, that's why. I've already explained to you that people like New York Senator and Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton have been quoted in the media as being supportive of a "carbon tax." We know these people are determined to make us pay for emitting CO2, or as i like to call it, "breathing." As far out as it sounded, it very easily could have been true, so I have to take my hat off to the pranksters who brewed this one up. It doesn't embarrass me to admit that I fell for this one when I know the real joke is on people who actually believe that cooking food is causing the destruction of the planet. CO2 is what plants breathe, it's what we exhale, that's why people talk to their zinnias! It's a part of the natural world, for Pete's sake! What's outlandish is people who think the fact that I'm not dead yet is causing ice caps to melt and polar bears to die. So, you see, to me, it wasn't so unbelievable to think that there are people out there who would impose taxes on barbecues and respiration. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. So, if you bought this one, too, don't feel bad. Just smile, put another burger on the grill, and thank God it's not true. At least, not yet.

April Fools! Barbecue Tax Hoax
If you heard the reports that Wallonia, a French-speaking region of Belgium, had approved a tax on barbecue season to be enforced by helicopter observation, you probably flipped your lid.

Global Warming Is BUNK!
You might have noticed the link that's been added to my blog just to the right of this post. It says it offers an objective view on global warming. It doesn't. I went to the site, I read the article, and it says the same garbage you can hear everyday from the doom and gloom media. "Polar bears are dying, ice caps are melting, and it's all our fault." Look, I'm no scientist, but I know it takes more than a one degree increase in the temperature of the Earth to constitute an immediate emergency. These people are so wound up about this that they are making kids loose sleep over it. How's that for responsible reporting?
I know why they do it, though. To push their agenda on you, they have to get you feeling scared and guilty. You see, most people that I talk to about global warming have been brow beaten into believing that the cars and trucks they drive and the aerosol cans they used to use are killing polar bears and melting glaciers. Because I use gasoline, Manhattan will be under water in the next three days. Riiight. Humans are to blame for everything, and since they are human, they feel really bad. Poor polar bears, if only they knew how much we really like them. Of course, even if they knew, they would still eat us, because they're polar bears, so do yourself a favor...fly to the north pole and sacrifice yourself to the bears, it's the least you can do.
So, you may ask yourself, why do they want to make us feel scared and guilty? Simple. They figure if they get you feeling scared and guilty enough, you'll be more than willing to support a carbon tax. Do you think this is a joke? Wrong. They want to tax you because you use gasoline and coal. Need proof? Okay, go to http://www.foxnews.com/ and read the article about Al Gore going before congress. It's titled, "Gore Implores Congress To Save Planet." Go on, read it, I'll wait right here. About half way through the article you will see mention of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who says she is "very intrigued" by Mr. Gore's ideas, such as...A CARBON TAX! They aren't even being sneaky about it, folks, they want your money, and they're going to get it, because you are scared and guilty. They aren't even asking, they're telling. But as I've already pointed out, no matter how many trees you plant, it will never be enough.
While I've got Al Gore on the brain, I'll share something else with you. Sen. James Inhofe, who represents me and other Oklahomans, cornered Gore on the issue of limiting carbon emissions. Citing the quote from Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, "Are you ready to change the way you live," Inhofe asked the same of him. Would Gore pledge to reduce his enormous energy consumption to the level of average Americans within one year? Gore wouldn't pledge to that. BUT he will take your money and "plant some trees" with it. That's a carbon credit, folks, it's giving Al Gore money to plant trees, which he doesn't have time to do, because he's busy globetrotting on his private jet to tell everyone else that they are not doing enough. He wastes fuel to tell you to change, but he doesn't have to, he's planting trees that will never absorb all of the carbon from just one of his trips even after 50 years.
But hey, I'm no scientist. If higher taxes will save the planet, who am I to go against progress? I'll tell you who I am, I'm an unconcerned American who doesn't want a phony tax for a phony cataclysm. I know you want to feel better somehow, to feel like you're doing something positive to assuage your guilt. Here's a suggestion; to save energy, when another global warming story comes on the news, tun off your television.
