NBC Gets "Green"; We Get Nauseous!

© 2008, by The Conservative Muse

Who’da guessed that the Muppet named Kermit the Frog

Would foretell TV themes when he sat on his log

Some decades ago and performed the routine

‘Bout life being tough when one has to be green.

NBC’s resurrected that soulful lament

By staging an annual Green Week event.

When we think “NBC” we’re inclined to be ill;

Their slant makes us queasy – or green, if you will. 

Their "expert" Anne Thompson has swallowed the line

from environment wackos who try to define

global warming as "settled," no longer in question,

a claim to cause scientists huge indigestion.

The “Today” show dispatched poor Ann Curry to scale

Mount Kilimanjaro and try to impale

Our collectivist guilt with a climate change spear,

and justify carbon-use taxes through fear.

How strange that the job had a premature cutoff

When bitterest cold almost froze Ann’s sweet butt off! 

Tom Brokaw revealed he’s a biased performer

By calling Bill Ayers a teaching “reformer” --

It’s like saying Saddam was a builder of palaces.

From stroking Obama, Tom’s hands must have callouses! 

We have to admit that we’re pretty darned jealous;

We’re green with an envy for treatment so zealous.

But the ultimate green from the network we’ll see

Is from profits achieved by its owner, GE. 

Of course we’re free enterprise folks to the core,

But we’re slightly put off using networks to score

Congressional mandates to sell out the store 

Of fluorescent "green" light bulbs, wind turbines, and more, 

As weapons of use in the climate change “war.”

The scam behind Green Week costs billions galore!
