Immanentize the Eschaton

Saw this in the NY Times yesterday. President Obama in the Oval Office in his shirtsleeves! His staffers in their shirtsleeves!

Aside from what I think is the disrespect shown to the office, there’s this quote from David Axelrod:

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.? He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

Isn’t Barry O the One who told us “we’re not going to be able to keep our houses at 72 degrees” when he was on the campaign trail? Turn down the thermostat, Mr. President! How is the planet supposed to heal if you don’t set an example?

(Oh, it’ll do that all by itself, ’cause there’s nothing to “heal”!)
