REAL TIME WITH BLIZZ


lawyer. wordsmith. madman.

One of TWM's most favorite and faithful readers blew off some steam and fired off an email this afternoon that -- because it's funny, because it's delightfully contrarian, and because it pays loving tribute to the great Bill Maher -- pretty much demanded its own post. And so, with minimally more ado, I turn the floor and the soapbox over to our friend The Blizz...

After listening to 1360AM this afternoon and suffering the stupidity that passed for commentary and discourse -- I don’t know about the Earth, but 20 minutes of listening to hysterical declarations that it’s going to be 150 degrees in no time were enough to make my blood boil -- I've decided it's time for a Bill-Maher-style...

NEW RULE: If you can’t explain why Greenland used to be green, if you can't explain how the ice age occurred (perhaps primitive life had a more sophisticated industrial revolution than we have imagined), if you never received an A in a high school science course, and if you aren’t advocating the immediate banning of NASCAR and all other racing sports, then you must shut up about global warming.

This rule may not diminish green house gas emissions, but it will seriously diminish the amount of hot air mindlessly spewed into the atmosphere.

And Lord knows we don't need any more of that.
