Mad As Hell

Drop what you're doing and click over to Eidelblog. ThreeSources friend Perry Eidlebus takes on these two adorable little girls:





It seems Mommy and Daddy are cutting cable to pay higher fuel prices and Pyper and Sadie have taken to the streets. Perry educates the young ladies with a lesson a lot of grown-ups in Congress should learn (were there any grown-ups in Congress...)

Welcome to the real world, girls. Welcome to the lower quality of life that's inevitable when people let themselves be ruled by environmentalists. Those are the people you should be blaming, girls, not oil companies! Oil companies would love nothing better than to supply us with more oil and gas, and at lower prices: when you do the math, lower prices mean higher sales, so they earn more profit while we consumers still benefit from cheap, plentiful carbon fuels.

Instead of blaming the oil companies, Sadie and Pyper need to learn who's really at fault.

He even has an adorable picture of a polar bear enjoying a tasty snack. Awesome.

UPDATE: Taranto links to an AP pick up of the story. It points out that Sadie "carried a sign asking drivers to honk to lower gas prices" and ends with a sympathetic supporter:

"I think it's great," said Hamid Tayeb, who was walking past on his lunch break. "It's unfortunate that kids are doing it before we do."
