Bill Clinton Calls For Sod Roofs
Bill Clinton is still out there, and stupid stuff is still coming out of his mouth. Now he wants us to save energy by engaging in "relentless home improvement" — including outfitting our homes with sod roofs, because that would make them cooler in the summer.
Snickers a building contractor:
Sounds great doesn't it — a "sod roof." It will be a hoot mowing it.
An employee of Halliburton Energy Services notes:
Do you have any idea how much dead weight sod would add to your roof joists? At least a ton, and then that would at least double in weight after the first rain. At which point you will find your new sod roof sitting on your floor in the kitchen and bedroom.
But the idea does fit in nicely with the push from the Left to move society in the general direction of the Stone Age, so as to tread more lightly upon the Earth. President Shrillary may want to put Bill in charge of energy policy.
On a tip from Bill.

No one has ever accused these people of having any common sense or practical knowledge. Bill Clinton and his wife are capable of pandering to anyone or any group if they look dumb enough to vote for dimocrats.
If you think that is bad, I heard the Dims want to make Cheryl Crowe the Secretatary of Freshness.
Get all your money out of tiolet paper stocks or else you may get wiped out.

Wiped out...heh!
Anyone seen a sod roof on the Clinton manor in Chappaqua? I didn't think so.

Sod you, Bill!

This Sod Roof idea has got to be a "joke", or it soon will be deemed a "joke" by Slick Willie as soon as he gets as much grief as Sheryl Crow did about the one square sheet of toilet paper. But then again Slick Willie is from Arkansas and perhaps he's waxing sentimental about his childhood manor. Then Slick Wille will back pedal as only Slick Willie himself can. Well it all depends on you definition of a "Sod Roof"

Bill Clinton won't be embarrassed about saying this later on...people who have no principles don't embarrass real easily.

I suppose if Al Gore is an expert on climate then Bill Clinton is an expert on architecture.
When I was a kid we thought the future was going to be something like the Jetsons. The Left has managed to take all the dreams of the mid-twentieth century and crush them. Sod roofs. What a jerk. Pretty soon someone is going to suggest that we use candles at night rather than light bulbs.

Guys, you're being awfully hard on our ex-president. Sod roofs for everyone makes about as much sense as growing corn to convert to ethanol, rather than using it to feed people.
Hey, Slick Willie may be on the "cutting edge" here! I'm willing to try it, as soon as he and Hills slap one of those onto their house in New York and another one onto the Clinton Library (& Massage Parlor) in Arkansas. Can't wait to see it happen!

I can't wait to hear Jimmy Carter tell the folks with Habitat for Humanity to start abiding by Bill's splendid idea. Am not sure even Jimmy's dumb enough to go along with this.

Next thing you know they will be forcing us to live in Teepees and caves. Of course guys like Gore, Carter and Clinton will get to keep their mansions because theyre special.
Gore should lead the way by tearing down his mansion and living in 3 teepees - 1 for bedroom, 1 for kitchen and 1 for a living room. He and Tipper can take a dump in a hole in the ground.

As stoopid as Mr. Hillary Clinton makes it sound, he’s actually on to something – though unwittingly.
Years ago I introduced an idea to one of our chief architects about creating ‘green buildings’ (picture a 50-story Chia Pet). I wasn’t quite laughed out of his office, but he thought it was somewhat amusing. The concept was really quite simple – apply a special outer stucco-like skin specially designed to retain small amounts of water. Special seed could then be sprayed on. With today’s capabilities of genetically engineering plants, the possibilities are endless. The maintenance, fertilization, reseeding, etc. could easily and quickly be done with standard window-washing facilities already present on most buildings over 3 or 4 stories.
I should have patented the idea.

"Anonymous", everyone in this country (everyone who can think, anyway) needs to think long and hard about what you said, because IT'S NO JOKE (even though I laughed my butt off at your post- thanks!). This is actually what their goal is...I mean hey, they're superior to us peasants, aren't they???
