Obama’s EPA Administrator to headline radical Left conference

What are you doing this weekend? How about joining current and former Obama administration officials to help destroy capitalism!

I’m only half-joking. On Saturday, Lisa Jackson is keynoting the Powershift Conference, which also features Al Gore and Van Jones (they’re giving the other keynote address on Friday).

One of the panels will feature what I’m sure is a scintillating debate about “Why Capitalism is killing the Planet” between three people who think exactly the same — all members of the International Socialist Organization. Just look at the all star panel:

From the BP Oil Spill to the Japanese Nuclear Crisis: Why Capitalism is killing the planet

 Chris Williams, International Socialist Organization
 Heather Kangas, International Socialist Organization
Amanda Duzak, International Socialist Organization

I can’t wait to hear them explain how capitalism caused the Soviets’ perennial, often deliberate destruction of their environment, including the Chernobyl and Kyshtym nuclear disasters.

Luckily, real socialists don’t need electricity and don’t know much about history.
