A few months ago Mexico City launched a bicycle sharing program called Ecobici. The program allows people to use a bike for a short period of time and drop it off at stations scattered throughout the city. As you can imagine, the green zealots love this idea. Mexico City isn’t the first to try this program. Paris and Berry College in Rome, Georgia have tried the program and it hasn’t worked.
The problem is that when these stupid programs fail no one bothers to tell the evangelical greenbots. Now Washington, D.C. is about to embark on the Tragedy of the Commons:
The tragedy of the commons is a dilemma arising from the situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently, and solely and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone’s long-term interest for this to happen
The program may work well for a few weeks, or even a few months, but eventually the bikes will end up stolen and scattered all over metro Washington D.C. It only costs $5 to ”borrow” a bike that’s worth considerably more than $5. What’s going to stop thieves from simply taking the bikes? Once again, leftists are banking on the inherent goodness of humanity, which is a unicorn-and-rainbows fantasy. Imagine all the people, stealing bikes in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one… The question is, will anyone bother covering the program after it’s bankrupt and scrapped?
President Lincoln was often described as an "extremist" while he was alive.
I’ve never been quiet about my feelings for Glenn Beck. He just annoys me for a variety of different reasons. Evidently, Beck and others are doing a rally at Lincoln Memorial this weekend. Instead of covering the event the Washington Post wants to spin the rally as a plus for Democrats.
But with just a few days before the Beck rally, basic questions linger, including how big it will be and whether the event, which Beck says is nonpolitical, will help or hurt Republicans in November. Also unanswered is whether Beck can pull off the connection to King without creating offense – or confrontation with another event the same day led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
I have other questions. Will the media manufacture another racism claim? Will the nonpolitical event help or hurt Democrats in November? Also unanswered is whether Sharpton can pull off the connection to Beck without creating offense – or confrontation with another event the same day led by Glenn Beck. One thing is for certain: the Post is hoping for some kind of game-changing headline to cripple the GOP.
The Washington Post article loves to talk about how extreme Glenn Beck is, but what about Al Sharpton? The man is a complete reprobate. The fact the media presents Sharpton as some kind of leader for African Americans is insulting to every flavor, stripe and color of mankind, especially blacks.
Of course the main rhetorical point from an event like this is, “How big is the crowd?” It doesn’t matter how large the crowd is because it doesn’t mean anything. It’s been two years since the ObamaMania tour and what has changed? Almost twice as many Republicans voted in the Florida primary than Democrats. Those large crying crowds are just a memory now. They symbolize the nature of crowds. They are like a vapor, much like mainstream press coverage.
If you've never seen Guy Smiley just imagine Tom Brokaw, but only funnier and more honest.
Here at The Daily Plunge I’ve had a lot of fun with mascots. A recent CBS poll says that 7 out of 10 Americans are dissatisfied with our politicians in Washington. It’s easy to pick on politicians. They do it to themselves. No one represents American politicians better than Guy Smiley. Here’s a guy that never says anything important and is in love with himself. The sad part is Guy Smiley is a fictional creation and the current occupant of the White House is only slightly more qualified to be President… emphasis on slightly.
Guy Smiley knows his job is important and he knows he’s the best. Every successfully politician is in love with themselves. It’s a prerequisite for the position. When Guy Smiley introduces himself he goes all the way.
Thank you. This is Guy Smiley, American’s favorite game show host.
The only thing missing is Hail to the Chief. Below I’ve attached a video from a classic Sesame Street skit “What’s My Job?” Hidden in this video around the 3:04 mark in a gem for the ages.
Guy Smiley: His important job is like mine, only he doesn’t do it as well.
Contestant: Is he the President of the United States?
Guy Smiley: Ah, close but you all guessed wrong.
The answer Guy Smiley was looking for was Sonny Friendly, but I think the contestant’s answer is actually better. Maybe it’s just the economy, but I’m hoping Americans start taking their politicians a bit more seriously. If we don’t, we’ll continue to be represented by a legion of morons who are less appealing than Guy Smiley.
