Today’s words of “wisdom” from everyone’s favourite village idiot:
When Professor Garnaut’s roadshow visited Perth this week it was greeted by protestors dressed as polar bears carrying placards reading “save the humans”.
Last time I checked there were no wild polar bears in the southern hemisphere.
But whoever these characters were, they seemed to know more about the bleak prospects for Australian working families than the good professor and his political acolytes
Good job, Prattler.
Do you think he checked if there were domesticated, capable-of-holding-signs polar bears, too? Maybe he should have also read the caption on his buddy Taxi Driver’s pic of the polar bears on Monday:

Yeeeeeah. I don’t think MPH campaigners have the same conception of the “bleak prospects for Australian working families” as Howard does.
Idiot.
He’s losing like-minded friends, too.
T Boone Pickens, the oil billionaire and lifelong Republican who provided financial backing to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth back in 2004, has decided that his money will be better spent on wind farms and other weird lefty-hippy ideas that might reduce dependency on greenhouse-gas producing fuels.

He really hates the thought of having to do a little research before hitting the keyboard, doesn’t he.
Talk about missing the point entirely.
Re. T Boone Pickens, he probably has a fairly good idea of where his next few billions will come from.
Renewable energy generation has all the hallmarks of a very profitable long term enterprise.
It might even create several million jobs, too.

I did question exactly how the Garnaut report was going to be “fatal to working families”, as Howie suggests. He didn’t exactly explain his histrionic language, just rattled off a few non-sequiturs.
Lethal inflation?
Mortal taxation?
the only way it could kill them was if the document fell out of a tree onto their heads

Foot in mouth disease : well spotted Sunili. This deserves pointing out to MediaWatch.
