Not Easy Being Green for Madonna

I don't know, it sure was hard to keep focused on the whole Live Earth deal this weekend, I mean, for starters Eva Longoria was like married in Paris, right. Sure, John Mayer really believed that he was "starting to feel the first ripples of what could become a revolution." I'm sure he felt the same thing when he dated Jessica Simpson. But it's Sunday, and the revolution doesn't really seem to be catching on. The reality of the weekend was summed up best by The Daily Gut's Jim Treacher, "Fighting Global Warming with a rock concert is like fighting obseity with aa hot dog-eating contest"

My thinking goes pretty much like Glenn Reynolds, "I'll start acting as if it's a crisis when the people who are telling me it's a crisis start acting as if it's a crisis." No really I will. And if you think I'm not running my fan nearly 24 hours aa day right now you got another thing coming mister. I find it cute that the same "celebs" also hit up the Formula One race the next day allowing Tim Blair to note, "Still, a Formula One race is likely a greener event than the carbon orgy that was Live Earth." HEH.

And perhaps I took just a bit too much pleasure in reading this article claiming that global warming had jumped the shark. But mostly I just enjoyed reading the endless articles about how much fuel the musical acts were burning, particualy the carbon unfriendly Madonna, who produces 100 times the waste of her fellow British dwellers. Oh Madonna, you and your crazy ideas.
