Stephen King really covers all the bases. As AP reports, King has helped to raise money to help low-income residents of Maine pay their winter heating bills:
King announced last month that his foundation would match up to $70,000 if listeners of the three Bangor-area radio stations he owns donated that amount, for a total of $140,000.
Listeners donated $24,000, the Lerner Foundation pitched in $46,000 and the foundation kept its promise.
AdvertisementOn-air personality Pat LaMarche says an anonymous Californian then promised another $50,000, if King matched it. The Maine native agreed, bringing the total to over $240,000.
But King also supports the president who vowed in 2008 to do everything he can to keep their energy costs as high as possible — the one campaign promise he’s kept. If only there was a presidential or vice-presidential candidate who ran on a platform in 2008 of reducing energy costs…
Obama wants to keep fuel prices high in order to make wind-powered home heating viable. He figures he’s got another $40 or so per gallon to go, at which point wind-powered heat and solar-powered cooling will lower energy prices by 3000%.
The flow of gibberish is just so thick and unrelenting, after a while they form a single, solid, incomprehensible mass.
While flipping through the channels on the few nights a week I watch much television, I’ll often stop on one of the several C-Span and Book TV channels if there is something I find interesting.
Sometimes it’s a politically-neutral topic or author of some adventure book, or a class on WWII taught by Victor Davis Hanson at Hillsdale College. Other times it might be a left-winger droning on about something — nine times out of ten, the ‘environment’ of course.
One night a month or so ago Stephen King was finishing up a talk and I paused briefly to engage in the how-long-will-it-take-before-I’m-insulted game I play when a liberal is giving a speech. After finishing the lecture portion it took no more than a few questions from the audience before rich celebrity author guy was implying that I was an uncaring, greedy racist, whose views were unhelpful and potentially violent towards supporters of President Super-Awesome. Game concluded, stereotype confirmed, I clicked elsewhere.
Hugo Chavez also had a hankering to help the poor with their heating bills a while back, not so much with a foundation as with oil appropriated through fascist thuggery. But, hey, his heart was in the right place, unlike Stephen King’s fellow Americans that don’t agree with him. No, we’re just mean-spirited. Dangerous, even.
“But King also supports the president who vowed in 2008 to do everything he can to keep their energy costs as high as possible — the one campaign promise he’s kept.”
Chances are King is not aware of this, nobody he knows talks about it, his newspaper doesn´t point it out, and if they did there would be a liberal wishful-thinking solution, like the water-powered engine that the greedy car industry is withholding from us.
King knows only one thing: Bad things come from conservatives, good things from liberals. He learned it as a young man and he´ll never learn anything else.
Is there still any question why “unexpectedly” has become the new buzzword among elites. After all, if these idiots had seen this disaster coming, and did nothing to stop it, but instead egged it on, that would be, like, treasonous…no?
If fuel prices were where they were when Ostupid took office, the economy would be doing much better. Wouldn’t that be the easy way to get reelected?
But where’s the fun in that?
