I want Obesity Offsets

I have written before about carbon credits (in a not so friendly manner). OK this is with tongue firmly planted in cheek that I write this. Think about other areas that purchasing offsets can help.

I have a long battle I wage on obesity and am losing. What if I pay for efforts for anti obesity PSA's, or maybe contribute to diabetes organizations. Shouldn't that offset my 'Fat Footprint'?

How about Senator Craig. Shouldn't he be able to get an 'I am stupid enough to think my bathroom exploits would remain a secret offset'? He could give money to lobby that all arrests to men who do creepy things in bathrooms a secret.

Maybe the Cleveland Browns (yes I am an embarrased fan) could get incompetant Quarterback offsets.

I could go on like this for hours, because the who concept of gazillionaire politicians and celebrities to tool around in Gulf streams and SUV's and pay for carbon offsets is galactic stupidity, but isn't it time for the rest of the world to call them on it? I really thought by now this practice would be totally embarrassing to them by now, but they still do it.

Maybe it is time for someone to nail 95 thesis to Al Gores door, with a carbon copy to John Edwards!
