A note to our global warming guru…continued!
I know you don’t want to hear this as it is detrimental to your income and maybe a pin in your inflated self-image
balloon, not to mention being a threat to future ways in which the government intends to bleed the taxpayers even more,
but if my chilly fingers now struggling on this July evening to put pen to paper are any indication, those real scientists
may be right!
Oh golly, I had the radio turned down low but just heard something on the news about the lowest temps ever recorded
in Tennessee in the month of July, right around where you live actually. Makes me think you may be bleating in your
own front yard.
Better dress in layers, this global warming business may put you at risk for frostbite and perhaps some body parts falling
off, and try not to let the audience, you know, the ones wearing snow boots and parkas in your yard there, see your
breath in the chill ...
Well I better get inside and light up a can of Sterno to try and keep from freezing the other ... whoops ... too late. Gonna
need a bigger box.
Short Thought: What makes the United States so great and different from the rest of the world is we are different from
the rest of the world.
