She does good skewering the Religious False Guilt of having an energy using society. The very first thing any enemy Army attacking the USA would target is our energy system. The Cherokee Warrior from Massachusetts has already issued that order.
This reminds me of the email I received yesterday, from a Mom (I'm guessing) of a girl scout, the troop was having a bake sale to raise funds for a trip to Costa Rica to study turtles and the environment. I'm thinking: Have you thought about your Carbon Footprint for this trip?
The worldwide impact: If this analysis is extrapolated to the currently projected estimate of two billion cars worldwide, based on 2018 figures, annual production would have to increase for neodymium and dysprosium by 70%, copper output would need to more than double and cobalt output would need to increase at least three and a half times for the entire period from now until 2050 to satisfy the demand.
It would also take a lot of energy to make these cars:
Energy costs for cobalt production are estimated at 7000-8000 kWh for every tonne of metal produced and for copper 9000 kWh/t. The rare-earth energy costs are at least 3350 kWh/t, so for the target of all 31.5 million cars that requires 22.5 TWh of power to produce the new metals for the UK fleet, amounting to 6% of the UK’s current annual electrical usage. Extrapolated to 2 billion cars worldwide, the energy demand for extracting and processing the metals is almost 4 times the total annual UK electrical output.

I got back on Twitter, primarily because I can get quick Track & Field updates there, quicker than any other way if the event is not available live somewhere. I added a few of the old political follows, primarily the funnier ones, but I am slowly pruning them away. There is just so much of this type of idiotic "owning the _____________ ," stuff these days. It will give you brain damage.

I would surmise that she thought about it, laughed about it, then forgot about it. You see, turtles and girl scouts are both real, but AGW is bullshit. 100% bullshit.
"People complain SNL is stupid. This takes it to a whole new level of moron."
If Chris Farley were still around, he could sell the idea of a steak with lightbulbs and straws.
I haven't seen video of this Laura Ingraham stunt, so I don't have an idea of how funny this is, but I am grossed out by the photograph. I think the problem is that it doesn't work for the right-wing position as intended. She's acting like it's wonderful to be a selfish, mindless hog, and that's making the argument for the OTHER SIDE!
Laura Ingraham is far more intelligent than the whole gaggle of left-wing loons "hosting" their propaganda programs. If the national media actually covered what the looney Dems are saying: Biden, kill fossil fuels, take millions of cars off the road, illegal aliens are more American than Americans, etc. Trump might win all 50 states and DC. The national media and the Dems are bat-shit crazy but most Americans aren't
I used to enjoy occasionally listening to the old Laura Ingraham radio show. I've found her Fox News program unwatchable from day 1. Maybe I'm just tired of all of them...on both sides.
I like Laura Ingraham, but that's kind of a dumb joke. You can't eat a steak with a straw, even if you try (but you could suck up the ketchup that you put on it, if you're into that).
This is a silly take-off on Coulter's remark that she's in favor of:
"Environmentalists' energy plan is the repudiation of America and Christian destiny, which is Jet Skis, steak on the electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing."
I was just watching a Farley SNL sketch. What a sad death. What a waste. Just like Belushi. Just one more reminder not to take Life/political advice from comics.

There's a whole genre of exactly the same thing on the right. Find lame prog memes, make fun of them, note how much funnier and cooler we are than they are. (Which, imo, we are.)
The memes at the link are lame. Somebody should be making fun of them. In fact, most of 'em appear to fall into the "Boomer-cons can't meme" or "cucks can't meme" category, which are relentlessly mocked just as much by the right as they are by people who think Kathy Griffin is hilarious.
Most people can’t meme. I haven’t noticed a political trend to the good ones.
What evidence does reddit have that this stunt was supposed to be a meme? (Can something be a meme if it hasn’t taken off as a meme? Isn’t it kind of like viral videos in that it’s viral if it goes viral?)
Sorry. I think the meat, straws and light bulb stuff from the so-called environmentalists is mostly stupid, but Ingraham's stunt strikes me as stupid, too.
Now, just sitting down to a hamburger and a Coke with a straw in the cup, and turning on an incandescent light to illuminate it, could have been funny. Even better if it was brought to her bu someoen who says he got it at the drive-thru.

If I'm reading that right, it's a lefty saying sarcastically "Oh, damn. The liberals are DESTROYED!!!" by Ingraham's gag?
Only the left looks at media as a means to "destroy" their opponents.
Ingraham was simply parodying resistance in the face of absurdity masquerading as national policy.
Why electric cars won't save us: There are not enough resources to build them

Swell, what is it.

It's not nice for SNL to pretend this woman and her audience are that stupid!
Stupid.
"What a horrible racist cunt."
everyone is "racist" is as far as the left can carry their tiny brains.
I used to enjoy occasionally listening to the old Laura Ingraham radio show. I've found her Fox News program unwatchable from day 1. Maybe I'm just tired of all of them...on both sides.
I think that might be it.
Clunky Trump ain't Trump. Laura should leave humor to those with the sharpier wit.
How many of the negative comments were posted from celebrities on their private jets?
Stupidicule.
Laslo: Humor as decoded by NPCs
Could be wrong but I'm under the impression that "the left can't meme" long predates this copycat effort.
Instead of attempting to suck a steak through a straw, I would pay money to watch her chew on incandescent light bulb.
Hey Laura, you know how you could totally own the left? Eat some CFLs.
For better or worse (worse, IMO), Laura Ingraham paved the way for Trump.
Ann Coulter eventually realized that she had made a mistake by backing Trump.
But Laura Ingraham is more Trump than Trump himself.
I like Laura Ingraham, but that's kind of a dumb joke. You can't eat a steak with a straw, even if you try (but you could suck up the ketchup that you put on it, if you're into that).
The Babylon Bee is funnier.
I like Ingraham but that was stupid and a waste of a good steak.
Potato clocks are the timepiece of the future.
White men can't jump and right wingers can't meme (says Pepe).
https://ozanvarol.com/6-secrets-to-success-from-the-athlete-who-revolutionized-the-high-jump/
I wonder how oftenly apt right wingers could meme if they weren't kicked off meme platforms for memeing too perfectly?
Does Mike Dukakis think the right can meme?
John F'ing Kerry?
Walt Mondale?
Hillcunt Clinton?
She needed a Super Bass-o-matic. It’s not just for fish anymore.
More dumb liberal snark. "Look at the at Conservative trying to be funny. And she's not." LOL! We liberals/Progessives ares so Cool.
Like Bill Maher. And Stephen Colbert.
This is a silly take-off on Coulter's remark that she's in favor of:
"Environmentalists' energy plan is the repudiation of America and Christian destiny, which is Jet Skis, steak on the electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing."
I was just watching a Farley SNL sketch. What a sad death. What a waste. Just like Belushi. Just one more reminder not to take Life/political advice from comics.
The joke is lame. But- the "owned" part might be real.
Look at the collective response. Death wishes for her.
Deep inside most democratics lives a Nazi totalitarian.
Ingraham has never been funny.
Often apt? CarpeDonktum has been 'owning the libs' for a while now.
There is also a TheLeftCan'tMeme

This is a link that will trigger those numinously triggered.
Potato guns are way more fun.
What doesn't make the left lose their minds?
They lost their collective minds over Alabama-gate.
She's acting like it's wonderful to be a selfish, mindless hog,
Wait...so your position is that eating a steak, using a straw or using an incandescent light bulb is being a selfish, mindless hog?
In my world, everyone does those things.
Most people can’t meme. I haven’t noticed a political trend to the good ones.
What evidence does reddit have that this stunt was supposed to be a meme? (Can something be a meme if it hasn’t taken off as a meme? Isn’t it kind of like viral videos in that it’s viral if it goes viral?)
She should have put the steak and light bulbs in the Bass o Matic first, powered by coal of course, and then deployed the plastic straw.
In the old days when one wanted to symbolize a political attitude, one carved a "David", or composed an opera (see Verdi).
That all seems beyond us moderns.
I guess it would have been funnier if Laura had been using a straw to drink the blood from the severed head of Nancy Pelosi.
Oh man, that’s some funny stuff!
That really owned the libs!
Sorry. I think the meat, straws and light bulb stuff from the so-called environmentalists is mostly stupid, but Ingraham's stunt strikes me as stupid, too.
Now, just sitting down to a hamburger and a Coke with a straw in the cup, and turning on an incandescent light to illuminate it, could have been funny. Even better if it was brought to her bu someoen who says he got it at the drive-thru.
I guess I am just out of it.
Is she sucking Trump off?
