"In the summer of 1969, Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, a staunch conservationist, was reading an article about the impact of college teach-ins on anti-war activism..."

"... when he had a flash of inspiration: What if the energy of these student teach-ins could also be harnessed to address environmental concerns?"

Tomorrow is Earth Day. Today, not thinking about Earth Day at all, we happened to go for a long walk in Governor Nelson State Park. It looked like this:

The conservationists are Conservatives.

The enviros are Lefties and Earth Day, global warming, and all the other scams always had a political component to them.

I'm having an Earth Day Bon Fire and BBQ.

I'm going to slow smoke something beasty. It'll take 6-8 hours of steady heat and smoke.

This is Easter for the enviro-assholes.

SGT Ted म्हणाले...

Ann, I know some places where saying that might get you a date.

From a surname.

Howsomever, I went to school with a guy whose last name was Gay.

Back when it meant happy and carefree.

Gaylord Nelson to Scott Walker? That's like going from Salma Hayek to Courtney Love. Eww. Yuck.

I think Earth Day is a great idea. If we could only have one holiday, it should be Earth Day. Earth is my favorite planet. Other planets are full of foreigners that talk funny and eat strange things like puppies.

What is a gay lord? It is someone who is #1 at the bath house?

Rusty म्हणाले...

There will be campfires galore on the beaches of California.
Smores?

Everyone thought Lord Nelson was a straightlord until he said "Kiss me, Hardy."

I am surprised they let Private Ted play with matches.

What did Gov. Walker do recognize the occasion.

And once again, Althouse commenters ignorant and proud of it: beach fires and BBQs do not add to global warming since the carbon was already in the cycle, not sequestered nicely underground as is the case with fossil fuel. If anything, the particulate matter in the smoke has a cooling effect by blocking the sun's rays. But by all means, ignore and repeat ad infinitum.
