Read my 1000th post for a chance to win $10,000!!!

[thoughtanarchist]

That's right! Big Cash prizes! All you have to do is write an article that criticizes the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and you too could be one of the lucky winners to receive $10,000 cash! The booty is to be awarded by the American Enterprise Institute on behalf of Exxon-Mobil, and it is supposed to be awarded to scientists, but who will know?

To make this easier for you I'll be providing lots of handy phrases you can use to catapult your very own propaganda, but first here is a snippet my own article:

The worst thing about the the Global Warming debate is that the eggheads can't seem to explain to my satisfaction why it's so cold outside.

I love cruising in my Excursion, but it puts a damper on my ability to enjoy it when some latte-sipping, sliderule-toting pointy-headed intellectual scientist tries to tell me I have no right to let my 6 liter V8 HEMI engine idle through 20 gallons of gas while I listen to the radio in my driveway.

...

Well, you get the gist. Now to help you win one of the big cash prizes, here are some handy phrases you can insert into your own little slice of deception. All you have to do is check your intellect and conscience at the door, get creative, and be as dismissive as possible to the very idea of environmentalism.

Good Luck!



Little ice age
UN is useless
methane, methane, methane.
John Edwards Big House.
Redistribution of Wealth
Smug Liberals
EggHead Scientists want to run your life.
Carbon control raises taxes.
God hates the environment
Green business is bad for job growth.
Regular, hard working, law abiding, god fearing, rich white males should not have to be bothered with the fate of the planet.
It makes your food taste bad.
Environmentalism "est tres francias".




Don't be shy! Post a snip of your own climate change denial piece!

1. Congrats on the 1K and not a bad topic too!

Got Fascism Yet?

3. Thanks... I'm not a very frequent poster.

I've been on board since around summer of '04 and I'm only breaking 1000 now.

Nonetheless, I wanted my 1000th to be entertaining, and dark humor is my favorite medium.

5. Well I started in April 04, But got in trouble for comparing the two Skull & Boners as two peas in a

pod! I have been an off and on type of poster here so I have to think real hard about my 1K post coming up fairly soon too!

6. I understand how that could get you a lot of flak...

I might have been one of those doling out such flak.

Had JFK taken office in '04 we would be out of Iraq by now and the nation would be healing. I think that skull and bones stuff was all about trying to convince voters to stay home. The time to worry about our candidates being too elitist / corporatist is in the primaries. For the general, I'm a firm believer in supporting your own.

11. I still feel Kerry was the electronic scamers, vote fraudsters, choice to run against Bush!

I also KNOW it should have been President Gore back in 2000 not Shrub who was selected not elected!

12. They would have done it to anyone...

They got to Dean before the Dem nom was even chosen. It would have happened to Edwards if he was on top of the ticket. Clark? You bet. Kucinich? abso-friggin-loutely. Who WOULDN'T have been hammered by the swiftboating, media control, and election fraud? It's election fraud for christ's sake. What candidate has election-fraud-proof armor? Give my senator a break. He's still fighting to end this war, and still trying to repair the damage.

2. I write one... in CRAYON!

Bet you I win.

:silly:

4. Crayon is good!

But have mom clean off the peanut butter and jelly from them so your essay doesn't get too sticky.

7. Now this is funny:

"The worst thing about the the Global Warming debate is that the eggheads can't seem to explain to my satisfaction why it's so cold outside."

Well this "egghead" could explain it to you but you'd need a brain that could comprehend it. Since what little brains you have seem to be wrapped up in your V8 hemi while you sit in your driveway listening to Rush, it would be a waste of my time. P.S. Buy a radio for your house, it might save you a bit of money Einstein.

8. I knew there would be at least one...

I guess I should have added the :sarcasm:?

[walldude]

9. Actually I should have read the whole post

I missed the part where you said it was you who said that, I thought it was a freeper, and believe me I have heard that question for real many times this winter.. My bad :toast:

[thoughtanarchist]

10. I hear it too...

...and I have to shake my head and wonder about the ditto heads that repeat it.

No , this is just satire centered around bilking the AEI out of some cash for writing the same drivel opinion pieces that probably ended up on the op-ed page of your local newspaper as it did mine.

I wasn't pissed enough to post about this until I actually saw a few real articles spewing this crap. Much of it used devices like the list of phrases I've provided in the OP.

The funniest freeper talking point (and it seems to be catching an echo) is that converting to renewables is in effect "forfeiting our nation's wealth" somehow. Like it's use of renewables and not voodoo economics that is causing the slide in our standard of living. :eyes:
