Why Don't Moonbats Like Houston?

Houston has really been taking it on the chin lately. First the New York Times accuses it of exploiting Katrina refugees by taking them in and feeding them, and now, the great Jimmy Carter has this to say:

...Prudhoe Bay, which lies west of the Arctic refuge and is already an industrial landscape resembling Houston more than Yellowstone.

In other words, Houston is such an eyesore that it is the antithesis of the pretty word we will have once we have reduced greenhouse emissions to zero by regulating all productive human activity to a halt.

Given Carter's record, his opinionating on environmentalism and energy policy is about as welcome as his freelance anti-American diplomacy. As The American Thinker points out,

The President who helped create the oil crisis by capitulating to the overthrow of the Shah and the installation of a radical regime in Iran (which set about radicalizing the region); the President who made America look like a paper tiger by his ineffectual response to the Iranian hostage crisis; the President whose energy programs were DOA in Congress because of his own ineptitude and unpopularity; this is the ex-President who wants to frustrate efforts to curtail dependence on radical regimes.

Thank you Byron for the tip.
