Kotz / Politics / The Economy The Bob Krumm Way: Protesting by Running Up Your Own Electric Bill
Posted by Pete Kotz on Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 12:41 PM
This doesn't, however, make conservative blogger Bob Krumm happy. We're not sure if he doesn't believe in global warming. Or if he's automatically against all things environment. Or if he just enjoys large utility bills. But he's planning a counter-protest by running up his own electric bill.
That's right. Bob will turn on all 70 light switches in his own home -- he's apparently counted them -- to make a statement against... well, we're not quite sure.
Forgive us for quibbling, but isn't the point of protest to inflict some damage/change upon your enemy, not yourself?
In related news, Bob plans to protest the federal stimulus package next week by unloading the entire contents of his savings account on some guy at a bus stop who vaguely looks like Barack Obama.

Funny, the WWF said that tomorrow night is a vote, not a protest. I'm just doing what they told me to do.

The WWF also thought that there might be some confusion between people who love animals and fake wrestling, so...
I'm not sure you've picked the brightest (ha, get it?) enemy in the world, there, Mr. Krumm.
B,
Truedat.
But I'm glad you cleared up the confusion. I wasn't looking forward to having a folding chair broken over my head because I had my lights on.
Now, see, that would have been a great way to get folks to participate in their empty gesture. Turn out your lights or Triple H will turn them out for you.
If the WWF had been smarter, they would have foreseen the benefits of cross-branding and probably saved some money in their litigation with the now WWE.
