concerned citizen stops progress

some hippie is possibly preventing the entire south of california from being paved to protect a salamander that can't even cross a road without getting smooshed. I swear.

wait for it....wait for it

there it is!

in the last paragraph.

"I used to leave notes on Hummers, how inconsiderate it was for the rest of us"

Ahhh San Francisco.

To be fair - I actually saw a Hummer yesterday in Marin county. really - I swear.

pro-oil extraction environmentalists

look, as a Californian I love the beach too, don't get me wrong, but am I so in love with the beach that I insist we drill all of the oil out of the ocean to prevent any from naturally spilling?

no. I am not. that would be retarded.

or, the formal position of SLO-based (emphasis on the SLOW part of SLO) SOS-California

who were apparently pissed that they drove all the way to another county to tell that county's residents that if they didn't set up a bunch of unsightly oil dereks in front of their ocean views some oil might escape and float up to the next county north.

Robert Why?Land

WTF!?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Robert Wyland, or just "Wyland" as he prefers to be called. Hopefully right before someone who knew him in high school beats his ass.

a quote:

"I would just say it would be like Picasso lending one of his pieces for a license plate and them saying we're not donating to the Picasso Foundation," said Wyland, an official artist for the United States Olympic Team for the 2008 Games. "They're saying, 'We can get anyone to paint a Picasso.' Well you could, but it wouldn't be a Picasso."

Bobby, you paint dolphins.

so, here's the basic idea: you're rich, 'kay? and you, like, want people to respect what're, like, your opinions right? so what do you do? well, how about you promise to spend your money at their store if they do what you want? you get to feel good about yourself; you're saving the environment while getting stuff you want. But better than that - you get to tell some lowly small business owner that they ought to be doing what you want them to do with all that money you're giving them.

All of the benefits of slavery with none of the guilt - a real win/win scenario. You win because you get to spend your money on crap you want and you win because you get to force people to agree with you because you're rich!

AWESOME!!!

Now if only one of the fourteen Medical Cannabis Dispensaries in your hood will sign up you can really stick it to the man.

not just vanity plates, eco vanity plates

ugh.

I have previously mentioned vanity plates on prii, but here's proof.
