Lately this little anti-anti-PRT war has been heating up, and the last couple days I've gotten really excited about it. Not only has Daily Kos been the scene of a whopping 50+ comment thread of funny, but yesterday Kenmore hinted at yet more hilarity to come:
I can always tell when something really embarrassing has occurred for the PRT guys when Mr. Gow tries to distract me with his silly comment spam.I had no idea what he could be fantasizing about. And today we found out: the Masdar PRT "is a joke" because torture occurs in Abu Dhabi.:
Stay tuned.

It turns out the PRT system is a joke... but what do expect from a country where a prominent royal family member tortures people [ellipsis in original]

You can read for yourself* the really excellent comments by environmentalists who tore Kenwood a new asshole, so I won't do a recap here.
I do want to highlight a particularly distasteful -- yet amusing -- gaffe by Kennel Ration:
He's saying people of desert nations can't live in sustainable conditions. As I wrote in response, "the Mideast had desert cities long before Western colonialism, by their very existence they were sustainable."
Wow. You can't have a sustainable city "in a desert." What do you call that kind of prejudice: "Biome-centric"?

Don't believe greenwashing hype... there is no way that Masdar can be "sustainable"... it's in a desert. [ellipses in original]

Update: we have achieved today's "whatever"!
Read the whole shebang at Daily Kos.
* I did, it was great to start the day with a big laff. Be sure not to miss:
- He gets Dubai mixed up with Abu Dhabi/Masdar
- Maybe to him they all look alike? Thermidor confuses Sheikh Issa ("BOOO! HISS!!!") bin Zayed Al Nahyan with Sheikh Mohammed ("YAY!!!") bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Here's a thought: how many light rail systems were built in the US during the waterboarding years? Waterboarding is pro-light rail and anti-PRT!!
I can name one, and it rhymes with Biawatha!
Can a light rail system be subpoenaed by Congress? Corporations have personhood, so I suppose it's possible. Although its testimony would sound like a muffled PA announcement.
