The Washington Post sponsors the weekly “Style Invitational,” officially deemed a humor contest but very often covering matters of great substance. This week the Post requested proposals for government spending to stimulate the economy.
My personal favorite came from David Garratt of Glenn Dale, Maryland. He suggested:
Start a massive advertising campaign encouraging citizens to participate in Leave Your Refrigerator Open for 24 Hours, to help counter global warming.
Works for me!












Just give me the day! Make sure it's on a day my wife is out town. She is always on me for stranding in front of the fridge with the door open to long.
Al Gore very recently said that the northern polar ice cap will be completely gone in five years. To view the video, visit my site and click on the picture of Al Gore holding up five fingers.

It seems like a rather risky prediction on his part. In five years, if it doesn't happen, he'll either have to admit he was wrong or take credit for saving the planet. Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder which option he'll take???
I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
