Enviro wacko impersonates chamber, holds press conference, Oh, and forgot his ID

This is just too weird to describe. See for yourself.



On the YouTube description, it asks: "Which one legitimately represents the right way for American business?"
In other words, who should we really be listening to, the real chamber representative or the cuckoo impostor?

Should we side with the man who is empowered to actually speak for the chamber, i.e the man who wasn't lying. Oh, and the sane one.
Or...should we side with the nutty as a fruitcake guy behind the podium, the deranged one who emailed news organizations, rented a room, made up a name, held a press conference telling the world that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had incomprehensibly switched their position from being pro-business to being pro-business killer, aka for climate control legislation.
The one with a screw loose who then, once confronted with the real chamber representative and not a cardboard cutout, belligerently accused the real guy of being the demented false guy. The lunatic who then would not give his name, didn't have a business card, oh! and, darn it, if he didn't have his ID because they leave their ID "wherever we...(shrug, no explanation, expression that says 'fill in the blank because my mind's a blank)".
Whatever that meant.

And throughout it all, the bananas guy actually punked the media, not the chamber, like the media - if still capable of the human emotion of "shame" - wants you to believe.

But let's get back to that all gnawing, all important question posted on the YouTube description: "Which one legitimately represents the right way for American business?"

I'm going to take a gamble here and answer that.

The out to lunch guy is from the Yes Men group. What I've seen, they are basically out of work actors willing to pimp their loco talents for an audience who doesn't realize these people are walking around wearing business suits pretending to be someone of importance because they have nothing better to do with their time. They pretend to be professionals, speaking for them, attempting to...I don't know what, possibly get a gig on One Tree Hill. They want to change America. Yet I've yet to understand how their antics accomplish anything, other than making them look, well, bananas.

Although, I do enjoy laughing and pointing...at them. So perhaps they are spreading joy.

I'm not going to link to their website. I avoid the clinically mad whenever possible, even electronically. And yes, they are probably in need of a med refill about now.

They supposedly partnered in this hoax with the groups behind "Climate Pledge of Resistence," a group of batty fringe activists who encourage people to break the law to bring about climate change laws. Is that oxymoronic?

At least we know they don't care about laws. That way, should climate change legislation pass, they'll totally support my right not to follow it.

(As a game for the kiddies: can you count the number of words I used which mean "crazy"? Here are a few I wanted to include but ran out of bandwidth: mad, out of one's mind, unhinged, mad as a hatter, off one's rocker, not right in the head, raving mad, bonkers, loopy, ditzy, loony, loco, touched, gaga, not all there, crackers, nutso.)
