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.
