"Frosty the Coalman"

By illconsidered on December 11, 2008.

This is too hilarious for words, seven lumps of coal wearing scarves and toques singing Christmas carols about "clean coal" and energy independence!

There are six to chose from, I didn't get far but my favorite is transcribed below:

Frosty the Coalman, is a jolly happy soul,

He's abundant here in America and he helps our economy roll.

Frosty the Coalman's getting cleaner every day
He's affordable and adorable and helps workers keep their pay.

There must have been some magic in clean coal technology,
For when they looked for pollutants there were nearly none to see.

Oh, Frosty the Coalman, is a jolly happy soul,
He's abundant here in America and he helps our economy roll.

Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump look at Frosty go,
Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump towards energy independence we will go.

Anyone else inclined to jot some of those priceless lyrics down?

John Edwards embraces enviro politics, a little too warmly
Every campaign it's the same thing. The editors and their reporting staff vow to pay more attention to the issues and focus less on the horse race. And every campaign that promise turns out to be as hollow as the campaign promises of the candidates the journalists are covering. So it is with the…
Coal. Need I say more?
Every corner of my regular morning stroll through the internet is littered with references to coal. One could say that coal is in the air. And it doesn't smell good. First, there's this depressing news from British Columbia: Teck-Cominco's eye-popping, $14-billion purchase of Fording Canadian Coal…

Frost: White and cold.

Coal: Black and burning.

If there's anything that does not bring "Frosty" to mind, "coal" would have to be it.

Yeesh.
