The Earth was approaching doom, but a carbon tax, gay marriage and an abortion filibuster have rescued the planet in the last 24 hours.
I want to take a moment to thank John McCain, who’s outstanding presidential campaign made this all possible.
The most important thing to remember is that the views of the US citizenry are no longer relevant. America has moved past that concept.
Obama ran on a platform that marriage is between a man and a woman, sanctified by God.
“What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman … What I believe, in my faith, is that a man and a woman, when they get married, are performing something before God, and it’s not simply the two persons who are meeting,”
– Barack Obama
Turns out he was just lying to get elected.

Obama says he can control the climate within a few tenths of a degree. It is actually not normal or healthy for human beings to believe that they are gods, but he could improve confidence in his skills by doing something smaller – like explaining why IRS officials visited the White House hundreds of times.
Or perhaps he could just tell us what the temperature will be on July 4, since he is so in tune with atmospheric processes.
Over the last 100 years, America has added huge amounts of pavement and buildings which keep nighttime temperatures up several degrees.
Despite our best efforts to create warming, temperatures have remained flat – which is no use for fundraising. So we progressively reduce older temperatures, in order to compensate for the fact that they are no use politically until we do.
Next week will be 100th anniversary of 134F in Greenland Ranch, California.
Slowest fire year on record, and lots of moisture on the way.
Obama announced yesterday that he needs to raise energy prices because winter/spring 2012 was the mildest on record in the US.
Five of the last six January-June temperatures were below the 1920 to 2013 average.
2012 was an outlier. The trend since 1998 is down half a degree C.
President Obama should show that he is serious about global warming by turning off all coal fired electrical appliances in the White House, particularly the air conditioning units – which are killing polar bears and giving children asthma. (Fortunately he already shut down school tours to protect the children.)
They should do the same at the capitol building, and particularly at the EPA.
Save the planet – turn off coal fired electricity in DC.
