It really is no wonder the predictions are getting more and more dire and hysterical — they know they are running out of time to pass their agenda before everyone finally finds out its all a buncha bullsh*t.

Of course both candidates have swallowed it whole. It really is a race against time: can the sane among us convince the insane — hi Pinky, hi kevin — that anthropogenic global warming is a hoax before they can destroy the United States economy in its name.

He has simply found an issue that gives him the power he surely
craves. The power to tell us what to do with our lives. The
power he couldn’t get by way of an election.

You could replace power with money in each of those sentences and it would still be correct. Apparently teaching and slamming down Big Macs with Krispy Kreme buns wasn’t enough for him.

Big deal about the “oilman in the White House.” Someone needs to trace the money flow from Algore’s slick operations.

Well, never fear. James Taranto has noticed. In his July 17 column, he calls out the lack of Obama jokes - they’re just not allowed, in the humorless world of the earnest liberal - and invents a few.

Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, “You know, we don’t get many kangaroos here.” Barack Obama replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised. That’s why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”

A guy asks Barack Obama, “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?” Obama replies, “I think people should lay off my wife. The notion that you can attack my family–that’s not what America is all about. It’s too easy to get caught up in these distractions.”

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from the so-called leaders of the Christian right, who have been all too eager to exploit what divides us.

For you humor-impaired libs: The above are *NOT* funny… that’s the meta-point

Naturally, parents were outraged that their little snowflakes would be subjected to spooky RF (never mind that the kids receive more RF exposure from microwave ovens and sitting in front of the TV for six hours a day).

Anyway, the funny part was the news report that showed several parents clutching a sign in one hand and, wait for it, a cell phone in the other.

I suppose it’s universal to think that ‘I’ have no negative impact on the environment - it’s alway Other People that have negative impact.

On the subject of Al Gore… I used to think the guy was actually pretty smart - just lacking in common sense with demagogic tendencies. I’ve come to believe that he’s still a demagogue - and a bit stupid.
