So then I walk into our so-called computer room at home to take a break from putting up some sheetrock in our used to be garage soon to be master bedroom and what do I find? My dear 8 year old playing a computer game...no big deal happens all the time. She is getting better at Civ 3 than I am.

But as I sit down to check my favorite blogs (LGF, Instapundit, Captains Quarters and MM) I hear my least favorite sort of voice utter these words "People want to drill for oil in this area even though it is a wildlife preserve. What is your vote?" Naturally I figure she will do the sensible thing and drill for oil in Bambi's backyard. Instead I hear "Great Job! Oil keeps our homes comfortable and provides us with electricity, but removing oil from a wildlife preserve can hurt the land, plants and animals." As I turn around to look at her screen this is what I see.

Pretty funny eh? Pretty funny until you hear the sickly sweet neutered male voice (where does PBS find these guys? Guarding Harems?) asking the questions and the perky little kids voice that gives you the answers, you realize it is finely directed propaganda pure and simple. And its aimed directly at children, my children...arrggh. You think me too harsh? Consider that there is absolutely no space on the map for an oil well where you won't get chided for allowing drilling. Plenty of space for windmills though, Ted Kennedy must not live around there.

The entire game must have been written by Rod Dreher since there is effectively no way to drill for oil, build football stadiums, build malls, take long showers or any of the other fun things that we used to be able to do before Crunchy Cons took over the Nanny State. Don't believe me about the long showers? Have a look at this delightful screenshot.

So I know you are wondering why pick on Crunchy cons when its more likely that loony leftists would make stuff like this up. Well we both know that the possibility of the loony left getting into power is virtually nil. The same cannot be said of the Crunchy Cons. Those guys are everywhere in the conservative movement. Wearing the guilt of their existence on their sleeves manifested by the earthy smell that follows them. God save us from the Crunchy Cons....hehe.
