The Global Warming Crisis is officially over.

Oprah, a major supporter of our Dear Leader and all the politically correct celebrity causes that are popular this week gave this advice to the graduating class of Duke University,

“It’s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn’t great is lying to you.”

She is clearly not concerned about the “SUV-years” per mile of carbon produced by her private jet or its effect on the environment.

But then, neither are other rich folks who fly private jets all over the place, such as Al Gore or Laurie David or the rest of the “Gulfstream Liberals.” At least Oprah is honest about it.

I trust you’ve seen this article about how Oprah’s advocacy of acai berry as a “superfood” is pricing the berry out of reach of the poor Brazilians who have relied on it as a source of protein:

May 14 (Bloomberg) — Rising U.S. sales of acai, a purple Amazon berry promoted as a “superfood” on Oprah Winfrey’s Web site, are depriving Brazilian jungle dwellers of a protein-rich nutrient they’ve relied on for generations.

U.S. consumers are turning a “a typical poor people’s food into something like a delicacy,” said Oscar Nogueira, who specializes in the fruit at Embrapa, Brazil’s agricultural research company.

No, I missed this one. Thanks for pointing it out. It really doesn’t surprise me though.
