Obama & Kathleen Have Got a Wonderful Idea!
Nobody Knows
While America is being downsized from full-time jobs to lots of part-time jobs because of Obamacare, the great Kathleen Sebelius, head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has big plans to help her government workers, lose weight, and save the planet at the same time—
Because we all know, government workers are fat, fat, fat.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to “telework,” use an “alternative work schedule,” or do both, in order to “reduce green house gas emissions,” decrease “employee stress,” and give these government workers more time for “planning and preparing healthy meals.”
An “alternative work schedule,” according to the federal Office of Personnel Management means having “flexible work schedules and compressed work schedules.” A compressed work schedule means putting the 80 hours of work required in a two-week government pay period into less than 10 work days.
“This goal is in concert with implementation of the HHS Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP) prepared under Executive Order (EO) 13514, which requires HHS to reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions by technological, programmatic and behavioral changes,” says the HHS strategic plan.
So, Kathleen thinks that if she keeps those woman at home, they are going to cook themselves wonderful meals? And it’s been ordered by the President that she do so? 
Really?
The goal here is to let all the single moms stay home and cook delicious meal for themselves because EVERYONE knows, when you are at home, the last thing you want to do is hop in your car and go get a big Mac, with fries and a chocolate milkshake. No, what you really want to do is eat a spinach salad. And since you are not getting in and out of your car polluting the planet with all your sweat from walking around the parking lot at that government building which is so huge, you have to walk fifteen minutes just to get to your office, you are also going to be getting off your computer chair at home, and getting on that treadmill you have in your basement because you now…want to exercise.
You have to wonder…what social engineering guru thought this up and in what Think Tank?
The “I don’t have a clue about human behavior” U?

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Stay at home mums can save the planet from CO2, eh.
Well Kathleen’s Office will have to do something about the Amazon first. Not the internet book company though. I am sure they have plans well in hand there. No, I mean the Amazon River.
We all know that mankind has affected the atmosphere by our wicked ways of polluting it with carbon dioxide. You know, that stuff that plants, bushes, trees and swampy wetlands thrive on. And the polluting stuff we breath out. All 7 billion of us, (5% of which are Amerikans) which is far too many for ‘sustainability’ what with us all pouring out more CO2 from our lungs every year than a fleet of government cars does every second. The consensus says so.
The Consensus High Priesthood also tell us that the Amazon forests are the ‘Lungs of the Planet’. Proper, natural lungs. Not our ‘mankind’ ones. Not good old American ones. It is from the good forest of Brazil that we get most of our oxygen, so we are persuaded. Trees breathe in the wicked man-made stuff and breathe out natural purity and goodness. The old, rotting trees full of ‘captured’ carbon fall into the huge river and get swept out to sea where their carbon is naturally ‘sequestered’ at the bottom of the ocean. Wonderful Nature. Not at all like human beings.
Whoops, the consensus is wrong yet again !
“Bad news for fans of The Amazon River. A new study shows that while the Amazon rain forest is the Lungs of The Planet, pulling down gigatonnes of CO2, the river undoes all the good the trees do, and pours all the CO2 back into the sky. Damn that river eh? Lucky it only discharges one fifth of the worlds freshwater.”
Joanne Nova breaks the bad news:

“Until recently, people believed much of the rain forest’s carbon floated down the Amazon River and ended up deep in the ocean. University of Washington research showed a decade ago that rivers exhale huge amounts of carbon dioxide — though left open the question of how that was possible, since bark and stems were thought to be too tough for river bacteria to digest.
A study published this week in Nature Geoscience resolves the conundrum, proving that woody plant matter is almost completely digested by bacteria living in the Amazon River, and that this tough stuff plays a major part in fueling the river’s breath……
Rivers were once thought of as passive pipes,” said co-author Jeffrey Richey, a UW professor of oceanography. “This shows they’re more like metabolic hotspots.”
Oh dear. Back to the computer models. Break out the plans for the dams. There are lots of places to put them. Heck, maybe even make some useful electricity!
But don’t hold your breath.
Not even St. O’Barmy’s.
Oh, by the way… have the IRS guys noted that pesky Jeffrey Richey fellow?

The main global warming threat is the hot gas poured out by all the politicians.
