Abestia

Over the last 10 years or so those shitty-ass, gigantic, ugly blow-up Christmas decorations have become the norm on front lawns across america.  Who the fuck are the people who buy these big pieces of plastic shit, and do they really think they look good? Is there anything that signifies a society that lacks creativity more than those energy using eye-sores?   I have fantasized several times over the past few Christmas Eves about taking advantage of my drunken state and murdering several of these bubbles throughout the area with blow darts.  Unfortunately I havent been able to find an accomplice that would be my lookout or drive the getaway car.  But what fun that would be after everyones asleep, putting those big ugly beasts out of their collective misery.  Oh the thought of all of those shallow families with tons of meaningless shit piled up under their trees, waking to the site of deflated bubbles on their perfectly manicured lawns.  It would be a great service to the true meaning of Christmas.

Meanwhile, this morning, December 3rd, it was 64 degrees. The strawberries are still thriving in my front yard, New Jersey, organic vegetable garden.  And bumble bees were buzzing about my front porch.  Paul Mulshine, the Newark Star Ledger opinion writer has continued to assert that human-enhanced global warming is a myth.  He sites a leveling off of average temperatures over the last 10 years, right around the same time those big stupid fucking blow up christmas bubbles started to appear.  First of all, the fact that the Ledger continues to let this idiot state his opinion is a testament to how bad that newspaper has gotten.  That guy is an opportunistic, yuppy, douchebag.

Hey Paul, scientists have been clear that there will be unpredictable weather events and patterns, that might even include short cooling periods within a steady increase in temperature.  But you know that.  Do you have a big blow up Santa on your lawn? Loser.

An area the size of Massachusetts in the Amazon gets deforested every year. And there are now approximately 260 million cars in America, almost as many cars as people.  Cars make carbon dioxide - Trees absorb carbon dioxide - More cars - less trees.  Duh.
