CE Marc Elrich (Democrat, 30+ years in office) has been without air conditioning at his Takoma Park home for about a month from June-July (per a radio report by WMAL Newstalk local), as he waits for an A/C unit part to be delivered.
Yesterday, the sweaty and fed up Montgomery Chief Executive issued a strongly worded executive memo to the residents of Montgomery County.
“Be it resolved, this day, July 14th, that all MoCo residents join their dear leader (me) in committing to a day free of A/C use. Use fans and the good ol’ breeze to get a reprieve from the heat. Find a shade tree, and do like I have done, sit down and a take a nap for a few hours. Go to your local swimming pool and just hang out with the guns out.” Elrich then included a photo of himself shirtless, flexing the biceps.
Elrich then continued to showcase his eco-activism in a presser, later in the day, when he explained that Mother Gaia, a common term for mother earth used by eco-activists, was right to extend the heat wave as “punishment” for humans in the mid-Atlantic region cooling their homes.
“I call her momma G. She really is upset with us. Everyone who isn’t biking 10 miles to work and back, understand, momma G is upset with us. We have nobody to blame but ourselves.”
Elrich was then seen departing Rockville later in the day in a tinted window SUV, en route to Dulles airport for a flight to the West Coast and another employer conference. The SUV appeared to be a model that gets an EPA-rated 21 miles to the gallon.
YES THIS POST IS PARODY (well, Marc Elrich really did lose A/C for a month per local reporting, but we truly hope he kept his cool and stayed safe) — Stay tuned for the next
