Tuesday, April 24th, 2007The Far Side of Global Warming
Thursday, December 14th, 2006Good news. As I suspected, Global Warming isn't man-made. It's made by cow farts.
It's true. There is a 400 page U.N. study to prove it.
Contact Gary Larson to learn if the crisis is worsened when cows light their methane emissions.
Mayor Nagin Breaks News and Wind
Sunday, August 27th, 2006Hurricane Ray made landfall when he asserted on "60 Minutes" that New Yorkers are unable to fill their "hole" in the ground. He was referring to Ground Zero.
Sacrifice for the Team
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006It is settled science that the Cleveland Browns are cursed.
To appease the curse the Browns offer sacrifice by maiming a key player early each season.
Every training camp Browns fans believe the curse will be broken. Hopes were high this year due to an unusually robust offensive line. All Pro LeCharles Bentley, a graduate of St.
Ignatius High School in Cleveland, would play center and protect quarterback Charlie Fry of Akron. As an added bonus, tight end Kellen Winslow was 90% recovered from his motorcycle sacrifice of last season.
Bentley's knee exploded on the first play of the first day of training camp.
Too Big for His Breaches
Friday, March 10th, 2006I think Bush is taking a bigger hit than he deserves over Katrina.
An AP video showed Incurious George being warned that the levees could overflow. The Chicago Tribune says, "That yielded a gotcha! moment for Bush bashers. They trotted out his later remark–"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees"–to argue that, indeed, he'd been warned." The Tribune goes on to say, "But not so fast. Late last week, the AP, which obtained the video and described the Aug. 28 briefing, issued a clarification. It said a federal disaster official had warned Bush of an overrunning of the levees, not a breach. The difference is not mere semantics. A breach, as the AP noted, is a hole. It's not the same as water overrunning the levees. "
Maybe he was surprised by the breach. Anyway, his response to the criticism was pedestrian. He took another walk on the Gulf Coast. His 10th since Katrina hit, according to U.S. News.com. And for good measure he asked congress for $4.2 billion to rebuild and relocate New Orleans.
I hope he's curious about breaches caused by the great federal spending flood. According to Bloomberg.com, it's up 33% since Bush took office. Twice as much as under Clinton. He's asked for a line item veto as a finger in the dike. So far Bush is behind 133-0 at backing up his regular veto threats. On March 20 he'll move into second place behind Jefferson as the president going the longest without using a veto. Son of a Breach.
