Nintendo Hates Mother Earth

When I’m not hitting the textbooks or battling the forces of liberalism, I like to play video games, and my favorite of the Big 3 players in the industry happens to be Nintendo. So imagine my amusement to see this story:
–
Environmental organization Greenpeace has released its latest Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks electronics manufacturers by their effect on the environment. Family-friendly Nintendo has appeared on the list for the first time and comes in dead last as the only company to score a zero out of ten.
–
Greenpeace says it has two demands of electronics companies: 1. clean up your products by eliminating hazardous substances, and 2. takeback and recycle your products responsibly once they become obsolete. The Guide does not consider issues like labor standards or energy use.
–
Each company is given a score in nine categories like Chemicals Management and Amounts Recycled. Scores can be Good (three points), Partially Good (two points), Partially Bad (one point), or Bad (zero points). Nintendo scored Bad in all nine categories.
–
Some of the reasons Greenpeace gives for Nintendo’s low scores are: the company’s lack of a policy on its use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic Greenpeace claims poses both environmental and health hazards; the company has no “takeback” policy for consumers to recycle their old Nintendo products.
–
Nintendo was beaten by other companies on the list like Sony, which scored an eight out of ten, and Microsoft, which fared only slightly better with a 2.7. Sony does have a takeback plan to recycle used Sony products.
–
Nintendo’s managed to irk the eco-lefties! Y’know, Christmas is just around the corner, and this is yet another reason to buy a Wii for the right-wing gamer in your life!

Fred Fakes

Liberalism comes in many shapes—most of them putrid—but occasionally one comes across a lefty endeavor so stupid, so unconvincing and so pathetic that you can’t help but feel sorry for the poor saps who conjured it up.
–
Welcome to the Fred Thompson Forum, a website that, on the surface, appears to be a forum for Fred Fans to talk up & about their candidate. But after an approximately 5-second investigation, it’s clearly anything but.
–
Here’s how Frank J. describes it:
–
There seems to be a bunch of posters pretending to be ignorant “neocons” who support Fred Thompson (with over the top names like I LOVE HANNITY and Neocon4Fred), while links and facts to Ron Paul are casually put into the discussion and his supporters are made to seem sane in comparison. The biggest tell is that’s theres a poll up about whether Fred Thompson can beat Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson is losing — on a supposed Fred Thompson fan site.
–
Plus, the reader who alerted me to this said he actually had all his sane posts about Fred Thompson removed. So the whole point of the site is to make Fred Thompson supporters look stupid while pushing them to Ron Paul… except I doubt anyone who isn’t already a Ron Paul supporter is dumb enough to fall for it.
–
Then again, this is actually one of the more clever things those weenies have done — certainly more clever than the poll spamming. It’s like a dog figuring out how to work a doorknob. Any toddler can do it, but, for a dog… wow.
–
Too funny…

Amen, John Podhoretz!

One Advantage to Andrew Sullivan’s Pompous, Hysterical Nonsense…is that he’s frightening away similarly pompous and hysterical would-be tourists who fear they may be arrested, belly-slapped, waterboarded, and sent to Gitmo. That’s a good thing, as one can imagine what a pain such people are to the hotel staff wherever they do travel.

Calvin Freiburger Bush, Frank J, GOP, humor, IMAO

At this point, never say never:
–
10. Publicly make out with Nancy Pelosi.
9. Not listen to anyone unless they speak in Spanish.
8. At his next meeting with generals, start shouting, “No blood for oil!”
7. Endorse Ron Paul.
6. Demand a new investigation into 9/11 to find out if he knew about it before it happened.
5. Become a coyote.
4. Start writing diaries on The Daily Kos.
3. Publicly make out with Ted Kennedy.
2. Convert to Islam.
–
And the number one way President Bush can further alienate his base…
–
Have Dick Cheney resign and appoint a new VP: Harriet Miers.

This Campaign’s Gone to the Dogs

This is the worst skeleton in Mitt Romney’s closet? Actually, that would be a refreshing change (hint hint, fellow right-wingers…). By the way, Andrew Sullivan’s horrified reaction to the story is a pretty good barometer to his sensibilities on his pet issue, the eeeevil of how America treats terrorist prisoners.

Disaster Averted

Rosie O’Donnell won’t be the successor to Bob Barker after all. We won’t be hearing any “You could win this brand new stove, whose fire incidentally can’t melt steel…”
–
Actually, I don’t really care that much if they want to wreck The Price is Right. The occasional fix of old & new game shows on GSN is enough that if they want to experiment with Rosie the Unhinged, I say go for it.
