Paddle-powered
Satan in action:
Paddle-powered activists hit the waters of Elliott Bay in kayaks Thursday to throw an “unwelcome party” for a massive Shell drilling rig as it reached the Port of Seattle. The protesters, opposed to the Port serving as a base for Shell Oil’s Arctic fleet, met the Polar Pioneer rig in more than 20 kayaks. Then they linked together and unfurled a banner with the message, “Arctic Drilling = Climate Change.”Paddle-powered. Paddle-powered. Hmm. How did the protesters paddle those kayaks TO the port? Hauled them on their shoulders from their trillion-dollar mansions on Mercer Island? Carried them on wooden-wheeled all-recycled carbon-neutral bicycles from their trillion-dollar mansions on Mercer Island? Paid Pocahontas and Sacajawea in Bit-wampum to pull the kayaks in travois behind their free-range non-GMO-fed ponies from their trillion-dollar mansions on Mercer Island? Loaded the kayaks on the city bus (hybrid coach, of course) from their trillion-dollar mansions on Mercer Island? Can't think of any other modalities. Well, okay, there's one, but it's impossible and unthinkable. Carried the kayaks in their $70,000 550HP Porsche Cayenne Turbo S SUVs from their trillion-dollar mansions on Mercer Island. Nah. Environmentalists would never do such a horrible thing.
