Washington State, like others, is considering phasing out diesel school buses and replacing them with zero-emission buses. Diesels emit greenhouse gases, nitrogen compounds, particulates, bad for the planet and kids. Electrics are clean and cheaper in the long run. Who could be against that?
Conservative Ladies of Washington!
Why? Probably because the Dems are for it--what anthropologists call "schismogenesis," doing something different from the other guys just to show you're not them.
Just the name "Conservative Ladies of Washington" cracks me up. Doesn't anyone else remember "Ladies Against Women"?
They had a choice--they could have gone with "Conservative Women of Washington," "CWOW" for short. "See-wow," I like it, makes me want to join right there. But they went for "CLOW." "See-low"? Boring.
At least they didn't choose Conservative Citizens of Washington. That would have been "Sea-Cow."
