Mark Belling, Master Of Contradiction

WISN 1130-AM rightie talker Mark Belling was weighing in on wind power Wednesday afternoon.

Down-playing its value as opposed to nuclear energy and fossil fuels, (no mention of conservation), opined Mark - - but then he got all aesthetical and artsy-fartsy with his audience, declaring wind turbines to be "brutally ugly...as ugly as sin."

Really? I think they are majestic. Futuristic. Sleek.

And he poked fun at "lefties" whom Mark predicted would object if turbines were placed on Madison's "beautiful lakes."

All this from a guy who thought that the Potowatomi Casino should have been built on Milwaukee's lakefront.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though consistency gives pleasure, too.

How does Sen. Kennedy like the Windfarm off of his Lakefront property? Oh I forgot he was against it, because what is good for others is not good for me. Typical Democrat elitist.
