Musings of Malone, et al.

Ted Danson, best known as Sam Malone in the TV series “Cheers” was a contributing founder of American Oceans Campaign an environmental group that has since merged with Oceana and adopted the latter's name. In initiating the group’s environmental campaign in 1988, Danson said, “we only have ten years to save the oceans”. Despite this utterly earth-shattering claim, some 34 years later “Sponge Bob” and his pals seem to be doing just fine. Despite the colossal faux pas, Danson remains on Oceana’s board of directors.

As many who have read my articles over the years recognize, I have an abhorrent revulsion for the hypocrisy of all virtue-signaling celebrities. Many such pretentious personalities endeavor to wash away their own guilt by telling the commoner how they ought to live, act and behave. Apparently, their theory seems to be that the peasant can provide the celebrity with commoner carbon offsets – since the simpleton bourgeois should act in a manner consistent with the wishes of the pompous elite, it leaves and allows significantly greater carbon dioxide emissions or carbon footprint for the privileged.

King Charles of England, then the Prince of Wales, made many speeches on his conviction of anthropogenic climate change. As well, he made several royal prophecies that have never come true. Now as chief monarch, etiquette, decorum, and protocol dissuades him from entering or engaging in political battles including climate change, and thus has left the reins of that charade to his offspring.

Harry and Meghan have made the promotion and advocacy of climate change their primary regal objective. Despite ownership of a private jet, a huge mansion, and worldwide travel they claim to become personally “Net Zero” by the year 2030. In the linked Yahoo article, Meghan, after attending a female empowerment event in Indianapolis, simply left her escorted SUV and hopped on another private jet. 

Bette Midler responding to a critic on Twitter wrote in a reply, “If you knew what I have done to mitigate the criminal environmental craziness in this country, you would kiss my ass. I have done my part, and I have done YOUR part. I have done geothermal, solar, hybrid, electric cars, composting, recycling, I bathe once a month! F--k you!”

In response to the perhaps stinky Ms. Midler, I have not bathed in several years but do shower almost every day.

Continuing to preserve his ultra-masculine movie image, climate change advocate Arnold Schwarzenegger drives around Hollywood in his gas-guzzling, six-wheeled Pinzgauer. Schwarzenegger alleges he simply has to travel in his $35 million dollar jet due to the “Overwhelming attraction from fans in the public.” - awe such a troublesome nuisance!

Or perhaps Barbra  Streisand, the “Babs”, the used-to-be singer and best alarmist pals with Al Gore, who flew her three Coton de Tuléar dogs in a private jet to England to witness her performance at London’s British Summer Time concert.

Every time there is an issue and a celebrity is in disagreement, they loudly allege they will depart the United States typically destined for a more socialist nation. It must be a very arduous task to wake to and wield, so much self-esteem, so much narcissism, and pretentiousness. The charade of vanity and arrogance must assuredly be quite hypocritically heavy.
