1. Stupid is lecturing, not listening
That is obvious from those pictures.

It's what keeps him stupid.

2. "And, in other news . . .
. . . the slack-jawed president was found wandering aimlessly through a vast compound of Dupont greenhouses today."

3. What are they telling * about?
Why is he there? What do they know about energy and what does a beaker of switchgrass have to do with anything.

Amazing the taxpayer $$ they spend of their "show."

Why does he talk to DuPont Executives about energy initiatives? To make sure he knows what they want done?

Delaware is a blue state, too. So it figures Chimpy isn't there to see the people. Just the CEO of DuPont. Figures.

5. As to the why - DuPont was one of the companies at the global
warming conference a couple of days ago. They say they want manditory caps carbon dioxides. So now they are showing him how they want to do it?

8. Has DuPont suddenly gone green, or do they just want to look that
way - you can bet those caps will take their interests into consideration, if enacted.

26. I listened to the conference on cspan and it sounded to me that
they recognized that we are serious about it so they are trying to have some influence on what is done. Some of the companies were interested in the economic gain they could get out of alternative energies. They were not as green as most of us would like though. The energy company for SC is building a coal plant and a nuke. They say there is new technology for coal and failed to mention that nukes produce a lot of waste which we do not know how to handle safely.

A little later in the week I was watching a natural gas conference and their gripe was that if they do not get the exploration incentives our prices for natural gas will go up. Dah!

9. In the interests of treating men the same as women
How much does Chimpy's suit cost? It is a fashion faux pas not to button the lower button? Doesn't it make him look fatter?

How about his hairstyle?

11. Armando Byrne has been an expert on microbes degrading toxic compounds
My take: we can make money by lowering or not enforcing or ignoring environmental standards and then make money in doing the cleanup with "green methods". Fully integrated system. Nice.

13. This is almost as funny..
as the pic of him from NIH looking at cells under a microscope. I guess he is trying to show people that contrary to the last 6 years he is interested in science. PLEASE.:eyes:

18. Better late than never...
Maybe if he had an interest in science at an earlier age, his mind would have developed in a healthier manner and prevented his current psychotic tendencies.

The miracles of science may cure him yet.

29. Ahh, yes. The "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" Tour.
The idiot is going to be trekking around the country wasting millions of tax dollars on fuel for his entourage, all the while, telling us to start conserving energy. :crazy:
