Are leftists capable of coherent thought?

Perpetual wussy Brian Reade at The Daily Fake Photo offers some very deep insights into contemporary geopolitics......

.....let's take on petrol.

Stop viewing it as black gold and see it as the real problem at the core of all our worldy ills. Then do something about it while we've still got a planet to live on. Start by asking these questions:

Why have carbon emissions punched a hole in the ozone layer bigger than the one in George Bush's head? Because America believes its 320 million car users have a divine right to pay buttons for oil, so their life is one big drive-thru.

"Waaah! Waaah! I'm scared! I have no genitals! It's all their fault!". This is about as deep as Reade's insights into American society ever get. And as for "320 million car users", someone tell weenie-boy that the whole population of the USA is only 293 million.

Why does al-Qaeda want to destroy all Westerners? Because millions of Saudis live in poverty while the ruling royal family has become obscenely rich. They flog off the world's most precious natural resource at insulting prices so Yanks can keep filling-up their Chevvys.

Hang on, I thought al-Qaeda wanted to destroy us all because we support Israel? Or because we invaded Iraq? Now it's all about Saudi Arabia. And even that - apparently - is the Americans' fault.

To Osama bin Laden, the Saudi/ American oil conspiracy is "the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind". Which means that for as long as our economy relies on cheap oil from corrupt Arab regimes, fundamental terrorists hold a knife to our throat and the key to our wealth.

If we don't start looking at alternatives, it will spell our doom.

So let's start now. Let's explore wind, wave and solar power. Remember coal? It might not be a bad idea to start digging that up again.

Wind. Wave. Solar. Coal. Fantastic choices dude. None of them are alternative fuels for motor vehicles.

And I guess Reade didn't have any ancestors who died of black lung disease from coal mining.

Let's force British oil firms to use some of their £30billion profits by being more adventurous with their North Sea exploration, instead of sitting back and bleeding the current fields dry.

So, other than not knowing the difference between powering a house and powering a motor vehicle, Reade's idea of an alternative to using oil is to use oil that cost more to produce.

Somewhere in magic lefty pixieland, this is making perfect sense to someone.


Auld Blog, Nü Blogger

My Californian chum Steve Saporito has started blogging over at Sasha's place. So far, he's taken on John "Munster" Kerry, Canada's toxic hypocrisy and crooked Maine pollies.

Go read his stuff. Or give him money. He's happy either way.

Is it just me, or does Mike Jericho look eerily like Metallica's James Hetfield?
