Have you heard the buzz? Barack Obama's inauguration is going to be a "green event." As you can imagine, that is far from the truth. In fact, Dan Beard of the Chief Administration Office says, "This is something that's going to consume massive amounts of energy. If you believe that global warming is man-made, then the Obama Inaugural ceremony will do more to add to man-made global warming than any other political event in Washington, D.C. this year."

But here are some of the lengths the Obama camp is going through to make this event "green."

Manure from horses in the parade will be scooped up and sold to a nearby farm.

Volunteers will pick up recycling along the parade route.

And Obama will take the oath of office on a recycled, solid-blue carpet.

Impressive ... very impressive.
