The Climate Mash
Not all is doom and gloom in this world - or is it? Fortunately, as long as we have the ability to turn into derision the rather distressing trends and patterns that have our world going down the tubes... we shall do just fine! At least in our minds... Bobby "Boris" Pickett himself -of "Monster Mash" fame- couldn't take it anymore (?) and he felt compulsed to rework his classic hit to expose the wrongdoings of the current Washington administration... "They're doing the Climate Mash - and they're doing it for the cash" he sings - and that says it all indeed. Stop the 'Global Warming Zombies' this Halloween (beats trick or treating if you ask me)
What's more frightening than Halloween? The powerful polluters — the vampires and zombies of global warming — who are making global warming worse by holding back the solutions that would reduce pollution.
The cure? This Halloween, it's "The Climate Mash," a hilarious flash video based on the perennial Halloween hit favorite "Monster Mash." Check out "The Climate Mash" at www.climatemash.org and watch its stars — President Bush, Vice President Cheney and others — getting down at the Climate Mash with extreme-polluter ExxonMobil, accompanied by the zombies and vampires of global warming.
Then, take action by telling your elected representatives in Washington it's time they wake up to this problem and start moving on solutions. So... Take Action Now!
This Halloween may be especially warm, but what is more perplexing still for this luminous blogger is that this November, world leaders will convene in Montreal to discuss the next steps in the global strategy to address global warming. Montreal, of all places! Smog was extraordinary these past few months over Montreal... I understand that Condoleeza will be coming to give Canadians her most insincere condolences regarding the polar ice caps' demise... For, those expecting the Bush Administration to demonstrate the leadership and commitment needed to deal with global warming - bitter disillusionment awaits... in "Mon-tree-all"... But that's another story.
