You don’t have to go too far to find some sharp criticism of the current administration, or Republicans, or right-wing Christians (very good article BTW), or whoever else is standing in our way to a better future. These are the morons who start wars, steal money, destroy the environment, lie, cheat, don’t believe in evolution, and wear patriotic lapel pins. At the same time, the good people who are the real experts in evolution, economy, green construction, foreign policy, energy and ecology are busy doing what they can to stop or at least contain the damage and destruction perpetrated by the evil a-holes from the previous sentence. They protest at international summits, throw pies at politicians and/or Bill Gates, throw excrement from trees and parade naked for their cause (which this blog fully supports regardless of the cause, as long as it’s done by women).
Luckily, my favorite show Penn&Teller Bullshit is out there to take us inside the think-tanks working on the environmental policies of the future, show us the people who will influence our energy strategies, creative minds who will tell us when we should drill for oil or build the nuclear power plants. Thankfully, these people are completely sane and will be able, when given a chance, to fix our self-inflicted environmental problems.
I also liked this clip about recycling:

Last one was funny but the first one was a little scary. If they like rocks so much, let’s start throwing rocks at them and see if they can catch them…with their teeth!
Goddamn hippies.

What is it with rocks, anyway?
Remember the mania for ‘pet’ rocks in the early 70s? Kerist, but what a bother those things were. I hated them.
Met the inventor, I did; had us a little talk and the whole thing blew over in about a year.
Say, there’s an idea.
I am constrained by my current employers from free-lancing, but there is no reason that well-intentioned, private citizens (members of a well armed militia all) can not help solve the worlds’ problem, one agravating con artist at a time.
Imagine -
No Davey Crockett coonskin hats;
No Aqua Velvet…or Brut, for that matter;
No Trolls;
No Beanie Babies;
No Cabbge Patch Dolls;
No Velvet paintings;
No Tom Jones;
No Pong;
No Tickle Me Elmo;
No Hackey Sacks;
No Bobble Heads;
No 80s (this may be a bit extreme);
No Y2K scare…
The list is nearly endless.
Think of what good, you, the average patriotic citizen could do for your country by ridding us of these charlatans!
And there is good money in it, too.
At least, the Saturday morning I can sit both the Astas down in front of the tube, secure in the knowledge that all they will view is clean American fun as the Coyote tries to violently murder that bastard of a Road Runner over and over again, free of those obtrusive and subversive ads, why, I will be more than willing to place a Hy Vee grocery bag -plain brown paper or those perky green recyclables- full of unmarked 100 dollar bills any where the anonymous caller tells me to, no questions asked.
I’ll even include a butter mint.
Think it over.

Bullshit is a great show. Funny yet unsettling.
