What next? Will they ban the moon??

The idea of "banning talking about climate change" cracks me up. Hahaha!

What next? Ban the moon? Well shoot, it's not a moon anyway. It's a lamp in the sky.

"Swear ta God, Martha, somebody put a big old friggin lamp up in the sky!"

Hahaha! People are funny!

Haha! Well, don't worry, my friend. I mean, after all, it's just a little climate change. What's the worst that can happen? A ruined planet? No biggie. It's just one little planet. There have to be tons more of them out there, right? No sweatsky! Hahahaha!

Let's not be too hasty. Can we ban humidity? I might be in favor of that.

I was in Boston one summer for my masters degree. I can fully understand why you would want to ban humidity.

If I blinked twice in as row... a full on sweat would ensue. It was very embarrassing sitting with my acclimatized classmates who seemed to be dry and comfortable while I sat there like Ben Stiller trying to impress Jennifer Aniston eating Thai food in Along Came Polly.

Ha! It is the worst. I have lived here all my life and still have never gotten used to it. Just awful.

If I may tack onto this, I'd like to offer a heartfelt fuck-you to Columbus, Ohio in June 2008. Worse than the 70's summers in Queens.

I think the greatest illusion ever pulled was the day Houdini died.

"The move comes as Republicans on the board expressed outrage that the board's executive director, Tia Nelson, had served on a state global warming task force in 2007 and 2008, which was organized by former Gov. Jim Doyle (D)."

The GOP continues to make being an independent difficult.

I lived in Tucson Arizona from June 3 to August 29. Average daily temperature of 101... The most miserable day of the summer was moving our stuff into storage in late May. 79 degrees and somewhere over 1000% humidity. Eff you to summer in Columbus, Ohio. Not that the rest of the East is much better, if you aren't on the coast or in the mountains, you are a swampass mess.

Just read an article about how Climate Change is a Health Hazard and how Obama wants to cure it.

Man, these headlines are ridiculous.

"Cure"? Fucking media spins.

Don't forget the Hunter's Moon!
Silver moon reflected on still water is my favorite, blueish full moon on fresh snowfall is a close second.
I am literally a lunatic.

brianlux

I read in a Yale University Press book that theoretically , some day in the future if necessary, it may be possible to alter the moon's orbit just enough to ward off a giant meteor that, if it hit us, would cause global destruction. To me that's a bit far fetched and I'm not at all one for messing with nature to that degree (a little irony there considering globa... you know, that banned topic) but I have to admit the notion of the moon saving our butts is rather romantic. I really hope we don't ban the moon next.

Headlines. Yeah, always good to read past the headlines, between all the lines, get another angle on the photos, read as widely as possible and hope you have some semblance of what is really going on.

Again, I have to say it's good to have a president who is at least willing to talk about climate change. That in of itself is overdue. But I wish he and others before him had talked more about preventing rather than just "curing". It always seems wiser to me to prevent a problem or a disease or a personal conflict or whatever. In this case it may be too late for that.

By the way, FANATICS, Henry Rollins' new book, After the Chop II is out.. Henry says this:

"The title makes reference to the fact that some of what I send in has to get chopped for space restrictions. Also, my boss often changes the title."

No doubt the same thing happens to the President.

Exactly if the politicians spent more time trying to prevent rather then curing the climate would be better...but that headline is such a Media Spin though what is it a disease?...good Henry Rollins quote by the way.
