   It's a terrible waste of energy befitting of a Republican, that's why.   
      
   It's like running your car on full throttle while it's idling in the   
   driveway just to warm it up. Seems like an awful lot of wasted energy.   
      
   Isn't everyone claiming to be a Democrat worried about global warming?   
   I guess not when it's not convenient they're not worried about it anymore.   
      
   Makes them liars.   
   In the most cynical way.   
      
   Wasting energy isn't my thing.   
      
   But it does make liars out of the Democrats - so I guess that's what it's   
   useful for (Democrats never tell the truth about anything which you can   
   tell by watching what they do - which is never what they say they do).   
      
   Worse. It's never what they tell YOU to do.   
   Usually backed up by a law that YOU have to follow.   
      
   But not them.   
   It's how Democrats work.   
      
   Republicans too.   
   Only they don't scream that they are trying not to waste energy.   
      
   They just waste it.   
   By running their expensive self-cleaning ovens.   
      
   No liese there.   
   Just honest to goodness waste of our resources.   
      
   They can afford to waste our resources.   
   That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats in the main.   
      
   Both waste our resources.   
   But one lies about it.   
      
   The other doesn't care.   
   You pick which is best.

   Damn waste of energy.   
      
   I've been looking up how the baking soda and vinegar works, and how the   
   sodium hydroxide (lye) works - which is basically to turn the grease into   
   soap by the saponification method.   
      
   That's less wasteful. And befitting of a Democrat.   
      
   I did look up how the self cleaning works though.   
   As you said, it turns the grease into ash.   
      
   But only Democrats should use it because it proves they are all liars.   
   And I love when that happens. :)   
      
   BTW, I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican.   
   But I'm not a liar either.   
      
   Otherwise, I'd be a Democrat.   
   Nor do I waste our resources.   
   Otherwise I'd be a Republican.   
      
   I am making a point (albeit maybe too strongly) that if anyone _is_ a   
   Democrat, then they are liars if they use the self-cleaning feature of the   
   oven instead of elbow grease.   
      
   It's an absolutely terrible waste of energy.   
      
   Only Republicans should waste our energy because they can afford it. :)
