Grab your sense of humour and run to Steven Milloy’s most recent post on the โ€œnational conservative weeklyโ€ Humanย Events.

Touting a list of the โ€œTop 10 Worst Moments for Free Enterprise in 2005,โ€ Milloy opens byย saying:

This annual list spotlights companies who have most egregiously abandoned their fiduciary and moral responsibilities to their shareholders and our free enterprise system, respectively, in favor of embracing the false and harmful social activist-promoted notion of โ€œcorporate socialย responsibility.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ most egregiouslyโ€ฆ!โ€ย Don’t you loveย that?

There follows 10 examples of capitalist backsliders like Wal-Mart doing things likeย spending money on technologies that reduce greenhouseย gases.

If Milloy is serious, this sets a new benchmark for anti-environmentalism. If he’s not (and we’re suspicious),ย he is the cleverest and most devious enviro campaigner in the gameย today.ย ย
