“Utopia”: from the Greek meaning “no place”!

My first Utopia - Aspen Mountain 1975 - learning to ski 

When I was young I used to use the term “pond scum” as a derogatory term to describe despicable people.  It was right up there with “dog drool” and “scum sucking degenerate ingrate”.

Now thanks to the only president of the United States that has ever lied on purpose as a way of life, “pond scum” is back in vogue.  We learned this past week that it (“pond scum”) is going to be our future source of energy.  It seems that “The Great Prevaricator” Barack Hussein Obama now has pontificated, no guaranteed, that “pond scum” will surely become SEVENTEEN PERCENT of our future energy, and not in the too distant future. 

Not sixteen percent, not eighteen percent, but surely SEVENTEEN PERCENT!  

It is surely amazing at just how brilliant and precise this man of wonder can be with his predictions.  Of course nothing he has predicted in the last four years, one campaigning for the presidency, and three becoming a laughing stock of the world, has actually come true. 

Oh but wait, he is still blaming George Bush for those circumstances, so that explains it all. 

It’s kind of like the Electric Car.  You have to charge it with electricity of course and where does electricity come from?  Let me see, have you heard of coal?  I found this statement from a commentator on the internet involving some of Obama’s fantasies and it is cute:

“Nuh-uh! Electricity comes from magic syrup spigots grafted into the dream trees of the Unicorn Kingdom!”

What really is bothersome is that Obama flies all the way to Miami on the taxpayer’s dime to once again give a campaign speech before an audience of children who don’t’ talk back.  In fact, if these are our leaders of tomorrow, I fear we are in deep “doo doo”, for these kids buy Obama’s utopian fantasies hook line and sinker. 

Algae? 

Who would have thought that after all these years it was just as simple as collecting “pond scum” to reduce our energy dependence by SEVENTEEN PERCENT?  Wow!  

To think, all the brilliant men and woman born, raised and educated in the United States and indeed the entire world, over the last 100 years, and not one of them thought of “pond scum” to replace EXACTLY SEVENTEEN PERCENT of our energy needs.  

Well, I am just so relieved now!  It will no longer be necessary to use our massive oil and gas deposits, probably the largest in the world, to solve our quest for energy independence.  We can now let the rest of the world drill for oil and gas and we can just wait on that Algae crop to come in.  Heck, all we really have to do is build a bunch of small farm ponds, and let the scum form on them and we are in business.  Why has no one thought of this before?  

One thing is certain, the insipid moron we have in the White House, truly believes that the American People just “fell of the turnip truck”.  It is a good thing he flew to a college campus to announce this utopian innovation; kids fall for this stuff.  Good luck kiddies, the winters are going to be very cold for you when you are forced to heat with “pond scum”, wind and solar energy while the rest of the world is toasty warm living in the real world.
