Hee Haw...or, a Miss South Carolina moment

The title link is to a UK Guardian article. If true, I might not be a conservative in England! The worst of it is advocating replacing the Gross Domestic Product with the "Happy Planet Index". This is sixth grade Michael Moore reasoning, to quote Jack Bauer. It is so stupid, I wondered if Hillary Clinton had taken over the Tories. This is as bad as her idea to require buckets manufactured in the US to leak so babies didn't drown in them. This is even dumber than Miss South Carolina's proclamation that kids don't know where America is because some kids don't have maps.

Perhaps the UK Tories are interested in buying this bridge I have for sale....
