Roll Over, Terminator! Make Way For The Conservabot 9000!

On February 8, 2011, this blog featured Tom Tomorrow with another of Dr. Wilbur von Philbert's inventions: "The Conservabot 9000." See it here. This mad scientist is one of the longest-running characters in "This Modern World" and is best know for his theory that it is possible to mine reality for energy. Sparky the Wonder Penguin (wearing his Inuit-style glasses to prevent bull$hit blindness) questions the Conservabot again with predictable results. With Dumbos/Teabaggers, AS (artificial stupidity) trumps AI (artificial intelligence). If this is (fair & balanced) AS(s)-kickin', so be it.
