Friends of the Earth Action, which over the weekend endorsed Barack Obama in the Democratic primary, issued a new web ad today criticizing Hillary Clinton for supporting a "gas-tax holiday" and praising Obama for his "honest clean energy policy." Here's their ad:

Whoa!

Is it really going to help anybody, e.g. Obama's friends, the Democratic Party, the US, the world, to show a photo-montage of Hillary and McCain arm-in-arm?

The happy smiling face of Barack Obama, him of the overpoweringly charming smile, should indeed be put in front of a camera often: but NOT in this context.

By the way, "Holiday in hell" is a terrific title. One imagines Glenn Close (channeling Joan Crawford) as the concierge, Kathy Bates as the chambermaid, Dennis Hopper as the grounds-keeper, and Jack Nicholson as the life guard/medic, while the kids get possessed and are running around saying "RED RUM!"

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

Clinton AND Obama Should Be Next To McCain

Yes Canis, it does help to show Clinton arm-in-arm with McCain. The only problem is that Obama should be there, too. The similarities between the three of them are far bigger than their differences.

gas tax holiday

Obama is right in that this so called "gas tax holiday " is a flim flam. Saving a few pennies per gallon is not going to make any difference in your wallet. Now go ahead and say, it all adds up. That's a ridiculous notion. If you have an additional $3.00 you are going to spend it. I notice no one says anything about paying $4.00 for a cup of your favorite latte etc. Face it, we all are spoiled in paying less for gas than anyone else. It's only now has it been catching up to us. Personally I hope it goes up higher. Perhaps then people will begin to start taking this matter more seriously and begin to change their fool hardy habits. So don't go blaming Obama for this fiasco. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
