The Competitive Enterprise Institute plans to recognize “Human Achievement Hour” between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on March 28, 2009 to coincide with Earth Hour, a period of time during which governments, individuals, and corporations have agreed to dim or shut off lights in an effort to draw attention to climate change. Anyone not foregoing the use of electricity in that hour is, by default, celebrating the achievements of human beings.Meanwhile, "Do New Bulbs Save Energy if They Don’t Work?" Check the commentary on that at Memeorandum, and get a good laugh at Freddie deBoer's leftist orthodoxy while you're at it. Lights out, eh Freddie?

Blatantly stolen -- with appropriate credit given!
Thanks Dana! Glad you liked it!
Love it!
Thanks Kreiz!
Does driving with your headlights on, listening to your iPod as you go to your fully-lighted local stores, count for bonus points?
Dr.D,
I spent earth hour watching the US come from behing to tie El Salvador in World Cup qualifying. The US played badly, got down 2-0, but came back and tied. The UN is a joke and it's worrisome that BO is inclined to listen to them.
Just how impressed should I be by a very long comment which begins, "The vast majority of website operators don't have the guts to allow this post, anything like it, any searchable lines, or links," posted by someone "anonymous" and containing no searchable links?
Excellent video.
Its strikes me as a little odd that many so-called "progressives" among us were so eager to step backward into the 18th Century last night with their meaningless gesture.

The paragraph is a human achievement to be celebrated. A lack thereof points to muddled thinking. Ya think?
