Wasn't the cancellation because of severe weather that's going on right now in Tennessee and other Southern states ? Sounds good enough for me.

You know Mr. President, the Earth rains on you sometimes, that's just what it does. You can't have your local party bosses hand-pick your audience AND control the weather, especially on Earth Day. :D

Alania Morrisette just called and stated this thread is "ironic, don't you think."

Alanis Morrosette clearly does not know the meaning of the word "irony", but I think that Zutballs has identified a situation that is in fact pretty ironic especially considering Bush's environmental record.

Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

Use the search tool on RM 1. The Alanis Morrisette "ironic" has been discussed many,many,many times and is the only reason I mentioned it. You guys are a day late and a dollar short on this one. :wink:

I didn't read the entire article, but it seems he only cancelled a visit he was making, not the actual "day" itself.

Right, but because Bush's stance on the environment is so lacking, it's not incongruous that Bush would "cancel" Earth day because of the conditions, nor is it incongruous that Nature would use this day to make things difficult for a President w/ such lacking environmental policies...

I don't see irony here...

Home Depot is celebrating Earth Day in North Carolina with a sale on non-indigenous, invasive flowering pear trees. :thumbsup:

I think "poetic justice" is the correct term...
