Last week was "green" week on NBC.
Shows had green themes (read: environmentally friendly) all week and the familiar peacock logo was shaded in green as it was on MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, USA and other NBC networks. The networks also had commercials and guests on talk shows that extolled the virtues of reducing our carbon footprint, recycling even the most disgusting pieces of organic trash and building our own compost heaps.
Green has obviously become the patron saint color of the movement.
And now our own president is getting in on the act.
Bush typically reserves his green tie for when he's hosting an Irish diplomat, or when he's nominating someone for U.S. trade representative, but today he broke out the green tie to reprimand the Democrats over not sending him "sensible and effective bills that I can sign instead of just issuing or sending, you know, bills that simply look like political statements," Bush said according to the New York Times.
Maybe the connotations of the color green that the American public has increasingly made positive helped Bush decide on green this morning when he got out of bed and went to his presidential closet.
Maybe green is losing its connotation with envy and jealousy.
Maybe he knew that people would be more willing to listen to him if he very subtly told the people that he was in their corner when it came to green energies.
Maybe I'm reading entirely too much into the president's fashion choices, but if Bush isn't careful, people might start mistaking him for Al Gore.
