Original article: The recycling recession

Back in the early 90's. (before most of you were born)

New York State discovered that when everyone recycles, it eventually drives the price of hauling away your trash to a recycler through the roof. To the point past which it's actually cheaper to do anything else with it. Ergo that's what they do. We were all sold a bill of goods for instance that we could run power plants with trash. Problem is, in the real world it's a business and homeowners don't particularly like paying a 10 or 20 or 30% surcharge premium for the power generated that way. Perhaps you don't mind, but the rest of the real world does. So the problem, econometrically (that's a BIG word kids, go ask a grownup to look it up for you) is specifically NOT that you 'need out of control growth' unquote. It's that you need a middle zone of cost flexibility that permits it to make any sense at all.

Now we now return you to the regularly scheduled monkeys flinging poo. Thank you.

It's all a gianormous plot by huge forces out of your control and understanding

I hope that makes you paranoid children sleep better.

It would be awesome in so many ways.

The WHO reports a sharp climb in polio as a result

In the west African Muslim world, there is a noticeable resistance to vaccination as it is believed to be dangerous, against Islam, a zionist plot etc etc etc. As a result of the Hajj the WHO has been reporting a sharp rise world wide incidence of polio across the Muslim world, from Africa to Indonesia.

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 10:35 AM

Not before naming himself Senator

THEN he should resign.

Why not just blow up Chicago politics in one swoop

This slo mo train wreck while funny to watch, really should end soon.

It would be cheaper

To give every American $20,000 and then pass a law that only big 3 cars can be insured and registered. Violators will be imprisoned, citizen.

Mob rule is alive and well at Salondotcom

Left up to them they'd have some retarded people's committee rotate through the Senator's slot. You get a nice Cubano cigar to go with the gig.

His mom will have a reality show in 2009

And little Tripp will be set more or less for life. Unless his parents become meth heads for Jayzus.

Where are all the Salon Zombies

Who promised Martial Law, suspension of elections and a dictator for life?

I guess they're with the folks who promised we would bomb Iran every single day for more than 5 years.

It's called hillbilly heroin

Because there are whole counties in Kentucky and West Virginia where pharmacies won't carry it. Too many break ins. Oxycodone packs several times the wallop it normally has if it's crushed up and ingested instead of just being swallowed whole. Which is kind of ironic since those are the people who are supposed to be missing most of their teeth too.

The Detroit Lions are the future of the NFL

The only thing more awesome would be if they put Grizzly bears on the field.

Who really cares?

For 2009 what's left?

Other than the self righteous gnashing of worthless faux communists yelling for Obama's impeachment. Let Glenn lead the charge. He's about 4 weeks from claiming Obama is a secret Mossad plant anyway. It will be hilarious watching you implode.

Excuse me but what precisely were Clinton's qualifications

When she won the Senate seat she is now vacating and thereby creating this tussle?

Anyone?

Did she ever hold elected office before?

Thank you for playing, morons.

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 05:25 AM

so John

Other than living in NYS for the minimum number of months beforehand and having name recognition, Hillary's portfolio was zilch.

the absence of all the events you predicted means you were right all along. do you know what they call that?

clinical paranoia.

thank you for playing.

Meanwhile MDA has 400 ambulances and 12000 people activated and on call

To make sure their casualties are as low as possible. What does the Hamas do? initially close the border with Egypt so that wounded people can't even be evacuated. You people suck at picking sides.

Saturday, January 3, 2009 03:54 PM

If you feel that strongly about it, go there & shoot @ the IDF

I lost a friend in Iraq fighting against YOU guys. What have you done lately?

SUVs ARE minivans

For men who can't admit to themselves that they drive a minivan.

Chanan

You think that Glenn supports Hamas in spite of the reality of what they do and say. But that's wrong. Glenn supports Hamas BECAUSE of what they do and say. Just because someone tells you they're a freedom loving western middle class white liberal who loves puppies, solar energy and anarchist street violence doesn't mean that they're not antisemitic genocidal bigots.
