Scenario: I’m sitting at the computer, TV over my left shoulder is tuned into ESPN, Chris Berman and the boys are talking football. Diane is over by the vanity, preparing for the day.
I’m not paying attention, but apparently the announcers said something about Green Bay and a certain offensive position, bringing this retort from Diane:
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing to be the tight end for the Packers.”
Ah, yes, out of the mouths of babes. And she is a babe.
While checking some websites originating from my home state of Minnesota last night, I read several stories about the big blizzard that blew through the state. Of course, in the comments section of each newpaper story I read, the nutcases were out in force, just like they are everytime it gets cold.
I read the smarmy little “now what was that about Global Warming again?” and the inane “as I look out at my snow-covered car, I chuckle at the thought of ‘Global Warming’. Aren’t we supposed to be enjoying record high temperatures?”
People like these show their ignorance on so many levels it’s both laughable and tragic. First of all, it’s not “global warming”, it’s “climate change”, and anyone who knows anything about what’s been said would know that the warming of the oceans could cause drastic changes in the climates over land masses, both hot AND cold. Notice, I said “could”, not “will”, as I’m in the camp that says the science is probably right, but hopefully we can fix it.
Secondly, it’s December 1st in Minnesota, it’s SUPPOSED to snow. Morons.
We had this discussion over lunch the other day, and even my Republican friends say that if it was the GOP promoting climate change, and the Dems were the ones paying flat-earth “scientists” to say “it’s not true…don’t believe it!”, then those who are the loudest AGAINST the theory of climate change would be the loudest FOR it. C’mon, 20 percenters, even your beloved King George has admitted climate change is not only real, but that humans are contributing to it.
