"The Greenest Show on Earth"

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Democrats have hired their first Director Of Greening, Andrea Robinson, for their upcoming convention in August. She is charged with making this the first "Green" convention ever. To assist her in this endeavor "She hired an Official Carbon Adviser, who will measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed. The Democrats hope to pay penance for those emissions by investing in renewable energy projects. Perhaps Ms. Robinson's most audacious goal is to reuse, recycle or compost at least 85% of all waste generated during the convention."

This is going to be a nightmare for the Democrats who still haven't raised enough money for their convention. This move will only raise the overall cost of the convention. There will be no fried food and all convention food must meet the Dems dietary requirements. There will also be a "trash brigade." You just have to read the whole article.
