When I hear the name Ed Norton, I think of Jackie Gleason's side-kick in the Honeymooners. This one doesn't seem to be quite as bright as that one, though.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. WGN Chicago has Honeymooners on Sunday Nights. Norton worked in the sewers and so does this clown (different kind of sewer).

All the lights will be on at my house in every room plus the outside lights. I have a couple of hippy boomer neighbors who will probably be a little annoyed. LOL!

Human Achievement Hour - Outstanding, a protest we can and will win. HAH! Just because most people don't know about it, just going about their normal business, we win. I love it when conservatives are clever.

I think I'll read a book which will require more lights than I usually use. I will not increase my overall usage, however, by undoing the normal energy saving habits which I do to keep my bill down.

Given what normally happens nine months after power outages, wouldn't this actually create more of an energy demand later on, by creating more people?

I have a silly little blog on myspace. Here's a relevant excerpt...

Even the acronym (HAH, as in "Hah! Screw you hippie!" ) is cool. I think I'll be participating in Human Achievement Hour and not Fascist Whacko Libtard Hour. In fact, I think I'll list some ways we all can participate:

-Turn on every light emitting object you own.

-Turn on every light switch, whether it runs a light, an exhaust fan, or nothing at all.

-Anything you own that plugs into an outlet and runs on electricity - Plug it in. Turn it on.

-Let your vehicles run, with the brights and flashers on, the radio and air conditioner blasted, and the windows down. Extra cool points will be awarded for good ol' American gas guzzling, carbon emitting V8s. Honk the horn a few times to annoy any hippies that may be in the area.

-Buy one of these (http://www.collectiblestoday.com/ct/product/prdid-1602566001.jsp?cm_ven=Shopping&cm_cat=Gifts&cm_pla=PMP&cm_ite=1602566001P-Outdoor%20Holiday%20Decoration%20Light%20Display%20Projector) and use it.

If we could get a slide featuring the image used for the open thread below, one of those projectors code3 references would be worth the price. Of course anyone who actually dared do that would probably be opening themselves up for major property destruction by moonbat vandals.

I'll be watching the Pitt/Villanova game and drinking some beer. Maybe I'll fry up some bacon too. I'm almost sorry there are practically no hardcore moonbats around here who I can offend by acting normal.

'Earth Hour' is just a self-imposed brownout, designed to soften the blow of the coming day/week/month-long brownouts that are sure to result from Obama's non-energy policies.

TURN ALL YOUR LIGHTS ON AND WATCH THIS. This is what we should spend an hour on today!!

This film was made by a 15 year old girl. It is the hottest thing on the Internet and on Fox News today .

Lizzie Palmer who put this program together, is 15 years old. There have been over 23,000,000 hits as of this morning. In case you missed it, here it is.

Watch all of it.......and, pass it on!!

Its scarey VH

Criminals, rats, worms and intestinal parasites are all most comfortable in the dark.

Small wonder that liberals are as well.

my house will be lit up like a butt-muncher with a string of black cats going off in his hiney! second county top from left - arkansas - WEEEEEEEE!

I got my Christmas lights out with lights on and every powered item in my house will be running. After paying my electric bill I will be stimulating the economy and creating jobs. I may drive around the neighbourhood and egg every house that is blacked out. I might turn my lights off for just a moment to do that.

I'm sure North Korea will participate. Oh, wait...they are dark at night all the time. Like we will be if the notjobs get their way.

"Lizzie Palmer who put this program together, is 15 years old. There have been over 23,000,000 hits as of this morning. In case you missed it, here it is."

I watched it.
I am not American.
God Bless America.

Just finished doing my vacuuming 21:04 GMT. I wonder how much work that took, 108000 joules (60W 30 minutes)?

You may not like Edward Norton's politics, but he's an excellent actor. He should have won the Oscar for "American History X" but he lost out to Tom Hanks in "Big." In other words, he wuz ROBBED!

Here is a man whose livelihood depends on the massive use of power, from lighting the sound stages on which he performs, to powering the computers which enhance his performance, to the projectors and video players which show the finished results, advising us to sit at home in the dark. Does he realize that if we took his advice, he have to do actual, manual labor?

I might turn all mine on at 8:20

Update: Radio 4 news just talked about the event (and how Big Ben had its lights turned out) and immediately switched to talking about the ISS and Space Shuttle! The Beeb douchebags don't understand irony at all, do they?

Remember, if you turn your lights out, you believe in GW. If you leave your light on, you know it is nothing more then a myth and let see which side has the most people. Oh, can somebody watch Gore's house and see if his lights go out.

I don't know who said this, but it's appropriate:

"The lights are going out all over the world, God grant that they come on again in our lifetime."

BAD hour to be out driving - silly liberals will have their lights switched off.

That picture of whats-iz-name - look at those eyes and tell me he's not stoned out of his empty gourd.

I have turned ON all my lights. Anyone else?

Lights on, window shades up on the East Coast here!

Light'em up people, Hell the aircraft are using my house as a Beacon. Hell if I had an arc light I would have it fired up. I want the electric meter spinning like a top. F Gore,

Rush has his turtle lights on.

*blazes up cigar in solidarity*

Which Country Do You Want To Live In!?

GOT ALL MY LIGHTS ON!

"BAD hour to be out driving - silly liberals will have their lights switched off."

As long as it's just liberals out - PERFECT!

I was gonna rent "Rounders" tonight, but you know...

Lights? H*ll, I started my dishwasher, hair dryer, air conditioner, and cut two cords of wood with my electric chain saw. Confession: I didn't run the garbage disposal...it's jammed with a bottle cap.

The EARTH HOUR more plans by theeco-nazis under the green swatika to brainwash kids with this GO GREEN poppycock what eslse can you ever expect from the watermellons

I set my alarm watch for 8:20, which was too early... by 8:30 I was engrossed in a Star Wars movie our family was watching, & forgot to go turn all the lights on. I'm all for saving energy, reducing pollution, clean air, clean water, & ending dependence on foreign oil, but global warming is a fabricated political tool. I'm no longer polite about it... when someone says "global warming" or "climate change," I let them have it. I was in the Blockbuster store today & I found myself rejecting movies because of the political rantings of the actors... I think I can manage the rest of my life without Ed Norton or Matt Damon movies.

OK - all the lights are on.

I live across the road from two militant Moonbat Dykes (of which I still can not ascertain which is the Bull - yes, both that mugly).

I half expect them to come across the road to 'educate me' since they think I am a moron because I am not liberal.

I'll do the usual (tilt the head) response of "oh really? Why?" and let them ramble while a drink a couple of beers. Considering there is nothing worth while on the TV, it will be my entertainment for the evening.

Apropos of the occasion...

Just look at the glassy eyed drug addict. You could tell this addled idiot anything and he would believe it.

More and more of these "celebrities" are looking like him. They don't know what world they live in.

These "celebrities" are the poster children for NOT legalizing drugs...and the left think we should listen to THEM!

Earth Hour” Symbolizes the Renunciation of Industrial Civilization

GreeenIsm piece by AynRandInstitute: Keith Lockitch

Nobody lives past 30

Earth Hour is just a preview of coming attractions with the Obama administration. The radio news was talking about nuclear power and whether or not it was a good idea. Then they trotted out an expert in nuclear power....Jane Fonda! Ya see, she's an expert because....because.....well, she just doesn't know where we would put the nuclear waste. Wow did I ever learn stuff listening to that interview! Like, not listening to puffed-up, self-important Communist-lovin, moronic actresses.

I left every light on as well as my PC and stereo system. Not to mention my security lights.

This 'Earth Hour' is a total farce. It is as absurd as renaming the War on Terror an Overseas Contingency Operation and not referring to terrorists as terrorists and ebenmey combatants as such.

This 'Earth Hour' is just more touchy-feely bullshit that doesn't mean a thing. It is just a means for liberals to feel like they're doing something useful when they really just wasting an hour sitting in utter darkness.

It was a beautiful site. My power company had to throw another brontosaurus on the barbie to supply me with enough electricity tonite.
To top that off, my meter was rotating so fast it created a bunch of Cern accelerator-like mini black holes that actually swallowed up a a group of old hippie enviroweenies as they were dancing in the dark in praise of Gaia.

I think I'll do this every night.

I see Norton can finally grow a goatee, sparse as it is. He must have taken his cue for his facial hair transplant from Plugs Biden.

I absolutely believe the "global warming" thing is not substantiated and I hate all the bullying that is going along with it. And, while I respect other people's choices, I've got to say that for myself I continued to live the way I believe is sensible.

That is, since I live alone, when I need lights or electricity I turn things on and when I don't need them I turn them off. My dad was 13 when the Great Depression hit and he was forever after us (5) kids with "... turn off the light, you're wasting electricity". In his case, I believe it was an economic issue - and that still holds true for me today. We got whopped with a 17% increase in our electric bills this year and I'm concerned. I'm not going to let moonbats tell me I HAVE to conserve energy... but I'm also not going to go to the opposite extreme and waste stuff.

I also always take my evening bath by candlelight which is to remember not to be afraid of fire. I was in the Cedar fire, that awful wildfire out in San Diego in 2003. My town lost power for 2 weeks, and it was NOT fun... we had looting. FORTUNATELY, we also had military, police & border patrol officers living in my complex, who after that posted signs at all entrances "Warning: we have firearms and we shoot looters".

I'm also not going to run water when I don't need it, or put toxic crap in my garden.

Take care now!

Every light in my house (including the Christmas lights) was on and I had the folks over for dinner and we sat around and watched one of the last conservative actors Gary Sinese in CSI NY and enjoyed some Sam Adams Winter Cherry. Nice celebration of Human Achievement there.

Phooie on THE EARTH HOUR and the HUMAN ACHEIVMENT HOUR theres obe called CARBON BELCH DAY when we drive our SUVs fire up the BBQ we dont recycle all our junk we dont ride some stupid bicycle around and we tell green hollyweird mooonbats like EDDIE MORON to GO POUND SAND

Huh, seems like it actually did make a difference! Sorry wingnuts, you lose... but, you're probably used to it by now ;-)

http://www.blogto.com/environment/2009/03/earth_hour_makes_like_the_tsx_power_use_drops_15/

And then everyone turned their lights right back on again, Jen. They chose to use modern technology to make their lives better by providing light, rather than continue to sit in the dark.

We won, because people use electricity the other 23 hours a day, 356 days a year. You and your idiot friends celebrate Human Achievement Hour every time you flick on a light switch. You're celebrating it right now as use use electricity to sit in front of your computer typing meaningless taunts.

Great news, fellow racistsexistbigothomophobes! I've been in contact with a chap living on a planet orbiting VY Canis Majoris

(viz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VY_Canis_Majoris)

...and he's like in REAL TIGHT with the folks steering the heat therein, and he says he'll have his people call my people to see if they can arrange for some REAL intergalactic toasticity!

"You might even have a little fun by telling neighbors that your city is testing its energy grid, and needs people to turn on all their lights at 8:30."

You know, because nothing says superior Judeo-Christian morality like lying to your neighbors and having them waste their money.

You guys, really.

Every light in the house went on at 8:30 PM. So did the microwave, TV and anything else that burns coal!!!

anybody else have to wear sunglasses last night?

Did my part.

"Evil Otto at March 29, 2009 9:11 AM"

I have to laugh when some moonbat logs onto the INTERNET with their COMPUTER to lecture us about how technology is "killing the planet".

This thread only attracted one troll? Come on!!!!! We can do better than that!

The whole thing was typical of lefties and their hollow empty symbolism. What effect did some people turning their lights off for an hour do? NONE. These same people then turned everything back on at 9:31pm and resumed what they were doing at 8:29pm. I checked my street and saw absolutely no difference. Even my hippies neighbors had their lights blazing - probably watching the Pitt lose in a real heartbreaker.

The people who actually buy into the BS that mankind is killing the planet by using energy, should back up a cement mixer to their cars and fill them with concrete. Of course they dont do that. Ive lost count of the number of SUV's I see with "Save the Earth" bumper stickers.

The erupting volcano in Alaska is spewing more CO2 and other global warming gases and soot in to the air than manking will in a year. 50,000 feet into the air. Maybe Al Gore should throw himself into the volcano to appease Gaia?

Lying to neighbors? Well the Global Warming hysterics are lying 24/7/365. Its all part of the lefties trying to impose their utopian socialist vision on the world by convincing people that they are making a difference by engaging in pointless symbolic excercises. When the USSR fell, the communists completely took over the Green Movement as a vehicle to promote their warped Malthusian policies.

Its as bad as some bunch of eco-freaks protesting against logging using paprt and cardboard as well as plywood and 2 x 4s in their platforms they build in the trees to sit on i mean tree sitters like JULIA(BUTTERFLY)HILL who is as rediculous as the rest of these granola munchers

Ok, I'll be your 'troll'. Funny how most websites discuss and debate topics, but here anyone who questions something is labeled a troll.

I find the environmental debate to be a great example of blind faith and ignorance. The far left thinks any thing that might possibly hurt the environment is evil and must be stopped. The far right rejects any evidence that we might be hurting the environment. Neither side really looks at any evidence, they just look for evidence that supports what they want to believe and reject evidence that does not.

Brandon there's no need to be a martyr. No one's calling you a troll except you.

I can think of many examples of environmental damage caused by humans. I'm sure we all can.

A catastrophic "change" in the overall climate of the earth is a far different story, and completely unsupported by the submitted evidence. I'm open to new information, though, assuming you're open to debate.

Thanks for visiting.

"Brandon at March 29, 2009 11:55 AM"

Oh, boo-hoo! Everybody's so mean to the Liberals!

We are well aware of the culture of victimhood and find it cowardly.

Al Gore left his lights on during 'Earth Hour.'

1. Shame about Norton's politics, he really is a good actor who I always enjoy seeing in a movie.
2. Brandon, you are not a troll. The majority of the people on Internet boards, including most of us, consider a "Troll" to be someone who deliberately posts something extremely rude, obnoxious, offensive, insulting, or all of the above, simply to get a rise out of everyone. You did none of these with your post. Rather, you came across as a decent enough, intelligent enough guy who'd probably be good to debate with.
3. My parents and I spent this weekend visiting my aunt and uncle. Last night, several other members of my family came over as well for an impromptu dinner party. We didn't go all out in terms of electrical usage, but we did a lot, between the lights for the main dining area, keeping the big screen TV on so my dad and my uncles could watch some basketball games, etc.
In other words, we just had a good time, which is the one thing moonbats hate more than life itself.

We are enjoying everyone seeing the lefts TRUE nature and intellect. Thank You.

I unknowningly contributed to Human Achivement Hour (wasn't aware there was such a thing until now) by watching a DVD. So, I celebrated whoever invented the DVD and DVD player. I watched it on a television that was invented by Philo Farnsworth, a great American who was a "farm kid" in Idaho. The electricity was made possible by Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla. I watched the achivements and talents of John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and others in the movie "Rio Grande" directed by John Ford, filmed in beautiful black and white, probably on Kodak film stock, thanks to Eastman founder of Kodak company, and and Edison who invented the movie camera others who invented photography too numerous to mention. The Sons of the Pioneers sang old Western songs in the movie. Thanks Ken Curtis (Festus on Gun Smoke). Writers wrote the Saturday Evening Post story and screenplay. I could go on, but it makes me feel good to put the tree huggin' earth muffins in their place.
