I just saw that on the news.
Wow, just wow.
My thoughts are with them.

Climate change isn't happening though.
AM talk radio, backed by the 3% of all the world's scientists who are funded by the energy industry told me so.

97% of all scientists world wide, decided that it would be fun to prank the world, just for kicks.
Even The Pentagon is in on the gag.
What a knee slapper.

Malady Burns on talk 1300 is "pretty sure" people are dying, and losing everything they have because GOD!TM   thinks there are too many people on  food stamps, and that he's not happy about gay marriage.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

I was in Ft Plain on Friday... What a mess.  The Mohawk is high but that isn't the problem... it's the smaller
stream that runs through town that is causing all the damage.  When we saw all the mud I pictured a muddy
stream running through town.  The reality was more like a white water kayak rapids crashing through.  
Some of the buildings had mud lines 5 feet up the walls.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Millions of dollars to study why asphalt and concrete does not absorb rain and why it turns streets into rivers.

You'll see the politicians standing in line for photo ops for the first few days or maybe a week or two.   A month from now, they won't even know where Fort Plain is on the map.

I'm betting over the last 1000 years it has reached higher levels.

History only begins when records were "officially" kept.  Anything before that does not exist.

Come on, they said forever. You doubt them?

Perhaps they think the melting glaciers over North America are made up,
just like the lies that the world is more than 600 years old.
