Dumb Stunts of the Week
By Debbie Schlussel
I never have to worry when I’m planning to be away from my computer and must prepare things for posting ahead of time. There are so many stories I never get to, so many dumb stunts . . . like these:
* My alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, from which I earned both my Law and MBA Degrees (no, I did not do the BS joint Law-MBA degree; I did them separately and earned each one):
U-W designated next weekend’s homecoming football game with Illinois as “carbon neutral.” The school will use an anonymous donation to buy carbon credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange to offset estimated game-day carbon dioxide emissions. When credits are purchased the money is invested in “green” projects.
Wow, I’ve never heard of such an extended verbal spread of fertilizer.
I’ve heard that Bucky the Badger is changing his name back to Buckingham and moving to a Red State out of embarrassment.
In my experience, there are not enough carbon credits on the Chicago Fertilizer Exchange to make up for all the carbon dioxide emissions from the brat-and-brau-laced farts of Wisconsin fans. That’s not to mention the cows outside of Madison. And the lights and electricity used to broadcast it on national TV and the energy and electricity used to keep all the restaurants and bars open for fans. How do you measure or “make up” for these things? You can’t. And there’s no reason to. Our carbon usage is just fine.
What a waste of money. What a load of Buckey-the-Badger-S.
* Amy Borkowsky: This misguided 40-something single girl is trying to raise $3 million for a 30-second Superbowl commercial advertising that she’s available to the drunken, Superbowl man of her dreams, er . . . nightmares. Her site is SuperBowlSingleGirl.com.
Wow, what a way to advertise desperation. Better name for her site: IHaveADumbIdeaAndNeedAttention.com.
So far, she’s raised just over $700. Lest you be tempted to donate, please don’t. The money–if she can’t raise the three mill–will go to the United Way, which, as I’ve documented, sends hundreds of thousands of dollars to pro-terrorist Islamic and Arabist “charities” like ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services.
By the way, she’s supposed to be a comedienne–she’s the same Amy from “Amy’s Answering Machine” fame. And you know what I say about female comedians: They’re not funny. Ergo, they’re not comedians.
Looooooser.
United way is another bloated charity that keeps about 80% of the donations to fund their own “business” , including a private jet for the CEO and the other 20% goes to whatever idiots THEY choose. Didn’t know about the terrorist connection though it’s hardly surprising.
