Great! The Left invents a lie (global warning and greenhouse gases caused by humans mainly), creates a great sneak-oil business (carbon-offset indulgences) and now the Left in Marxifornia (aka California) wants to start regulating the shameless scam . . . blaming free-entrepreneurship for it (SB 1762 by state Senate “leader” Don Perata, D-Oakland).

"Deepen, exacerbate existing contradictions [i.e., problems], and if they don't exist, create them or convincingly claim that they exist, and then deepen, exacerbate them...and, in the resulting chaos, blame our enemies." Vladimir I. Ulianov (alias Lenin)

Thus, some brief, but prickly, comments are in order here.

Scientists put some heavy blame on the flatulence of cattle, termites, birds and other animals, for greenhouse gases and global warming; but there is much more flatulence around.

Eureka! That may explain Al Gore’s global warming and greenhouse effect.

By the way, I am putting together a business plan, and filing a patent application for it with the U.S. Patent Office, to sell, for mere pennies, flatulence carbon-offsets to all folks, with the novelty that I would throw in, as an entirely free of charge bonus, offsets for the air one inhales and then exhales in the form of CO2. Of course, that bonus wouldn’t apply to those who don’t inhale . . . but who, however, exhale, even if one among them may in fact become the First Gentleman in November. Wait a minute. Gentleman? First Scoundrel would fit better.

Anyway, I am on my way to boundless riches . . . and thanks to proverbial Al Gore.

Wow! That Gore is a real genius; he not only invented the Internet, but he also inspired the flatulence carbon-offset business opportunity. He indeed deserves another Nobel Prize!

(P.S. Stay tuned; in the next column I will muse about the satori-enlightening subjects of the virginity of hookers and the immortality of roadkill.)
