This is great stuff!!
"To test whether celebratory balloons advertised as biodegradable actually will decompose, Ms. Robinson buried samples in a steaming compost heap. She hired an Official Carbon Adviser, who will measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of every placard, every plane trip, every appetizer prepared and every coffee cup tossed. The Democrats hope to pay penance for those emissions by investing in renewable energy projects."
No wonder they are deep in the hole.

More from the Article:
"No fried food. And, on the theory that nutritious food is more vibrant, each meal should include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple, and white." (Garnishes don't count.) At least 70% of ingredients should be organic or grown locally, to minimize emissions from fuel burned during transportation. "One would think," says Mr. Burns, "that the Democrats in Denver have bigger fish to bake -- they have ruled out frying already -- than mandating color-coordinated pretzel platters."

Just a taste of how we'll all be forced to eat if the government takes over the health care system.
Oh, well - all of the Fritos will be made into ethanol, anyway.

Then you try to help but you're not wanted:
"But it's almost inevitable that principles, politics and profit will conflict. To wit: Coors Brewing Co., in Golden, Colo., will donate biofuel made from beer waste to power the convention's fleet of flex-fuel vehicles. A green star for the convention -- but it has rankled die-hard liberals, who boycotted Coors in the 1960s and '70s to protest hiring practices that they said discriminated against blacks, Latinos, women and gays."
Way to go Coor's trying to help out when we all know you are just a bunch of haters! LOL

A party that can't even run its own convention is poised to take the Presidency and extend its advantage in the House and Senate this fall?
God help the Republic.

Well, the article did mention a Director of Greening. Soylent Greening, I think it was.

FTA:
"No matter, grumbles Anna Flynn, a longtime union member from Denver who objected to the donation. "Any way you put it, it's still Coors," she says."
This is the kind of respect for change we Democrats need to support. Hope and change except when it's from someone or some corporation we despise.

I heard that Al Gore is going to get to Denver by hitching a ride on an Amish horse and carriage. He is going to gather up the horse poop on the way and proudly display it during his time at the podium.
