Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

Another Obama green-subsidy recipient under criminal investigation

Another Obama green-subsidy recipient under criminal investigation. Ever hear of Abound Solar? You might want to keep an eye out for their products: “These are solar panels – we are now seeing reports that said they worked as long as you didn’t put them in the sun…” Well, Obama’s “ideas” work as long as you don’t put them into operation.

How can you blame it on Abound if some people were dumb enough to put the panels out in the sun?

What's that? You say they're SOLAR panels?

Good grief...

  Many years ago, I was the proud owner of a rechargeable batter charger, that you didn't have to plug in. You just put the AA or AAA Ni-Cads in it, and set it in the sunlight. Except for one thing. There was a sticker on it that said not to expose the unit to direct sunlight.
  
  I was confused.

    The sticker on this unit would be a great demotivational poster.

Hmmm, Obama, green company, millions of dollars, bankruptcy, criminal investigation.
Sounds like a story I have heard before. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
