Global Warming Pounding DC Politicians

Owl Gore Peeing His Pants...


I'm not sorry, but I'm afraid that it's easy for me to sit here in the relative warmth of Knoxtown this morning and want to laugh at the Federal Government morons having to "shut down" operations yesterday because they couldn't get out of their driveways.

And in the case of Nasty Pelosi and some of the other elitist political class snobs, I guess that their limo's probably couldn't come pick them up Monday morning so they stayed home, which in retrospect was a good thing because by shutting the government down they couldn't VOTE to come to my house and steal some more of my money to spend on their feckless, obtuse, inane "stimulus programs.".

I wonder if Pelosi even made it back to town on her hijacked Air Force jet from the Left Coast San Francisco, because Reagan National and Andrews AFB were both pushing mountains of snow around after the weekend's storm and air traffic was limited as a result.

Of course if she did it was because "Madam Speaker" went to the head of the air traffic control line as the little common taxpayers people stranded since Friday awaited the availability of an airliner and a departure gate three days later.

Looking at the Weather Channel, there's another "winter event" barrelling down on the Eastern seaboard for today and tomorrow, and yet another one coming in on Friday which has a good chance of delivering more frozen precipitation here to the Turbo Pup Compound on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River.

Any rational person that's older than about forty years of age knows that, in spite of the media hysteria, what is happening this winter is a gradual return to historical "NORMAL" winter weather patterns which we had up until the early 1980's in the eastern US.

Just like the spike in Hurricane activity in the 1990's after a relatively quiet period in the 1970's and 1980's, people--particularly politicians and the "lamestream media" idiots--have a short memory and further, love to take anything which is a little different from last week or last month or last year and turn it into a news story or an opportunity to pass a new law and steal a little bit more of our constitutional, God given freedoms.

And weird crap you'd never expect to happen suddenly becomes material news headlines are made of...

stuff like that Cities and Counties all over the country are running out of money and equipment for snow removal because, during the relative warm winters over the past couple of decades, they've stolen the money and spent it on "social programs" and on raises for bureaucrats while their heavy equipment aged and wasn't replaced with new machinery.

Even here in Knoxville they've basically already spent the entire season's budget on winter road clearing and treatment, and their fleet of trucks is old and reduced in capacity because they didn't buy new trucks with plows and sand spreaders when things warmed up.

See...that's what politicians do...they THROW MONEY at things that are popular, or things that are on fire, or things that are festering and bleeding, or the groups of people that scream the loudest.

Meanwhile people like me are too busy making plans and putting personal emergency and contingency plans in place...and more importantly...working to make Money to pay my OWN WAY...rather than spending a disproportionate amount of my income "keeping up with the Jones' "--buying houses and cars and taking vacations I can't afford, walking around wearing $100 tennis shoes, and buying giant HD TV's while at the same time ignoring the gathering storm clouds on the horizon.

Unfortunately for me and my peers, the gathering clouds today are not made by Mother Nature.

The clouds I see are man-made...the shadows of an ever growing Government, in all its forms--dark and ominous and energized by millions of ignorant, security seeking, nanny-state voters.

Instead of snowing me in, or flooding me out, I'm fearful of the impact this man-made storm and their mandates and programs and stimulus packages are going to have on my wallet and long term net worth.

Regardless of the outcome, I still take a great deal of enjoyment in the effects this cold winter has had on Owl Gore and his bands of tie died, Kumbaya singing, patchouli stinking, tree hugging, sniveling, booger eating, bed wetting, man-made Global Warming Zombies.

The silence is deafening...don't you think?
