Rubes by Leigh Rubin for July 04, 2012

That dog may just make its watered down protest before the lady can sign.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

The only problem is they are being chopped faster than they are being planted.

Be careful, he’s with the John Birch Society.

Isn’t the petition made of paper….? Isn’t it attached to a clipboard….? Isn’t there some wood in his pencil….?

Paper companies plant far more trees every year than they harvest. They are very enviromentally responsible in managing the forests. Paper is also more recyclable than the alternatives.

@picto-like the vegans wearing leather products

Grog Wrong! Millions upon millions of trees are planted yearly, and also harvested yearly. It’s farming on a really, really large scale.Good thing grains aren’t big or we’d all starve, ‘protecting’ them.

My community banned plastic grocery bags on July first. If you don’t bring your own reusable bag the store charges you five cents for a paper bag.

Self-serving Sweetgum.

Like the people who want everyone to get away from oil, coal burning power plants and oil by products and drive electric cars which are made out of oil by products which are only charged by coal burning power plants. Do they think what they are saying?

HAPPY 4TH EVERYBODY.

Take deep breaths. It’s a joke. It was a tree with the petition. Get it? Like a turkey in November promoting beef.

Recycle and save the trees!

Happy Independence Day all you Rubes fans! =)

You are overanalyzing this. It isn’t on the opinion page.

And while you’re signing the petition, lady, would you be so kind as to keep your dog away from my roots?
