I always liked Jay Leno; his jokes would make you groan but begrudgingly chuckle during his 21-year reign as Tonight Show host, which started in 1992 (with a brief break as Conan O’Brien took over for a bit, but that’s another story). Compared to the toxic bile spewed by today’s wastes of airtime like Jimmy Kimmel and the thankfully cancelled Stephen Colbert, however, he was a genius.
That being said, I could have done without this latest bit from “Jay Leno’s Garage,” which I will describe shortly.
But if you’re ever feeling down about the current news cycle or cynical about the latest dramas in Washington, D.C., I have a cure: remember where we could have been. Joe Biden — or God forbid, Kamala Harris — could be sitting in the Oval Office right now, watching with a wry grin as they further engineer the decline of America.
As if to bring the point home, here’s Ole Joe appearing with Leno, reminiscing about his attempts to kneecap America’s energy supply:

Biden:
...the other thing I was able to do, I made sure there could be no oil drilling off the East Coast, the West Coast, and 150 miles —
The next part is completely unintelligible; Lord only knows what he actually intended to say. As you can see in the RNC Research tweet above, they were able to discern that he meant "hescodoinalotprotection."
And what does this next utterance mean? It implies anger, but other than that, who knows?
No more windmills. Yeah, because they killed birds. Yeah, give me freaking break.
Okayyyyyy. And yes, windmills do kill hundreds of thousands of birds a year — birds like eagles. Go ahead and laugh about it, guys; the brutal death of many of our national birds is so humorous.
One can’t help but wonder what Leno really thought about this idiocy, seeing as he is a car collector and, although he’s been supportive of electric vehicles, the vast majority of his autos are gas-powered.

Here’s the problem, Einstein (I mean, Joe) — you may have attempted to kneecap our energy independence, but you didn’t invent a replacement technology. Sure, “green energy” advances have progressed, but the tech is nowhere near as efficient, cost-effective, and reliable as good old fossil fuels, as our Ward Clark has documented relentlessly.
It’s like cutting off the hose, but forgetting to provide an alternative source of water. Without water, everything dies. Without energy, economies wither (and/or end up having to depend on foreign powers — often our enemies).
Laugh all you want, Joe, but it’s decisions like these that thankfully have you trading jokes on a California highway with Jay Leno and not making decisions in the Oval Office.
