    Building on the success of Earth Hour… April 1, 2008 is designated “Energy Wasting Day”. Details, and ideas on how you can do your part, are available here:

    Hey, we enjoy a good joke as much as the next guy. And I’ve seen some good ones today!

    But unlike some folks, we are focused like a laser on how to meet America’s growing energy demands while keeping power affordable in an ever-shaky economy… a subject that does not lend itself to parody well.

    Quite frankly, we don’t find the country’s economics and environment a laughing matter. We spend our scarce “down time” promoting national policies that help keep energy costs down for working families, small businesses and those on a fixed income.

    Unfortunately on this April Fools Day, American families who can least afford budget-busting energy prices are getting hit the hardest.

    And that is not a laughing matter.

    Hilarious thread after polar bear article. This comment – in the midst of outrage and indigation – put me on the floor.

    Huh?

    The ABECC spoof reminded me of a bumper sticker I saw on a truck here in Whitesburg Kentucky (middle of coal fields), it said:

    EARTH FIRST!
    We’ll mine the other planets later.

    it was sported on the rear of a Cook and Sons Mining company truck.

    Atmoz, http://atmoz.org/blog/, had a pretty good one.

    The problem today was the number of parodies that could easily have been written seriously by others.
