Hypocritical Energy Efficiency Workshop Tonight (bring an old pair of shoes)

Hypocrisy knows no bounds in Rogers Park. An email blast from Chicago's 49th Ward Alderplaya Joe Moore urges us to attend a meeting tonight do learn about "energy efficiency." (You might want to bring an old pair of shoes, if you know what I mean.) Joe Moore claims to be very "green." He's environmentally hip and oh-so-sensitive to the environment. So much so, you see, that he usually drives the two short blocks from his large, energy-inefficient house on Fargo to his dumpy ward office at Jarvis and N. Greenview. (It's okay, you see, because that little two-block drive leaves a tiny little carbon footprint. After all, it's not like he's driving all the way downtown, right?) Oh, and there's the good folks at DevCorp North, Moore's puppets, who claim to be oh-so-sensitive to the environment, too. That's why their staff drives a big freeking Ford F250 pickup truck, which has gets between 10.5 - 11 MPG in town and 12.5 - 14 MPG on the highway. (It's okay, though, because that's better than, say, 3 to 6 miles to the gallon.)
