See? It's not as stupid as it first seems. Neither was the suggestion that you pick a room in your house you could seal off against anthrax, or pneumonic plague, or smallpox as dumb as the popular press made it seem.

The difference? The duct tape suggestion came from appointees in the administration of George W. Bush. The paint-it-white idea was suggested by an acolyte of B*A*R*A*C*K O*B*A*M*A so it is, by definition, good.

I think there is something in this so we should list all the items which can be changed to reflect sunlight back into space.

Trees. Trees are green. Notwithstanding every oil company ad in every medium, green is apparently a bad color. Trees are renowned for absorbing sunlight rather than reflecting it. We should spray paint every tree on the planet white. Dr. Chu says this will help.

Cars. Other than in Florida and certain retirement communities in Arizona most cars in America are not white. There are 250 million cars and light trucks in the U.S. of A. Every one of them should have a white hood, top and trunk.

B*A*R*A*C*K O*B*A*M*A already owns Chrysler and by Monday will own GM so he can do a reverse Henry Ford. He can, by edict, permit Americans to have a car in any color they want; as long as it's white. Ironic, huh?

Heads. There are six BILLION humans on the planet. If every one of us painted the top of our heads white, we would send so much sunlight back into space that Martians, because their planet is (like the door in the Stones song) red, will suffer irreparable harm and sue for damages. New Topic

What is the least likely invitation you think I might receive? Aw, you guess it. I will be a judge in the Miss West Virginia Pageant in June.

Let me type that again: Me … Judge … Miss West Virginia … June.

To be followed by : Me … Star … To Catch a Predator … July.

Be a good citizen. Paint something white. Or, better yet. Be like Tom Sawyer and get someone else to paint something white.
