Always plenty more

[cyrano]

So I made the mistake of watching CNN this morning, already in a bad humor. G-Bu has apparently reversed the voice of the administration of the past twenty years who declared there was insufficient scientific evidence of the so-called 'Greenhouse Effect' to justify curtailing America's business in their production of gasses.
His 180o swing now declares that sure there's a Greenhouse Effect but it's too late now to curtail American businesses and there's nothing we can do except buy lots of sunscreen and get ready for those warm summers.
And I thought that was the end of it, until sometime over lunch today. When I suddenly thought to myself 'Hey. Isn't it considered a Terrorist Act to melt the polar ice caps and sink coastal cities? It always is in Bond films anyway.'
So obviously somebody needs to tell John Ashcroft about this new wave of domestic terrorism and have him arrest the heads of Dow, General Electric, LockHeed-Martin, General Motors, and any other group that might be involved in this insidious plot to push the Statue of Liberty under the waves!

The people of my country will remember those who have plotted against us. We are learning their names. We are coming to know their faces. There is no corner of the earth distant or dark enough to protect them. However long it takes, their hour of justice will come.

The connection is somewhat tenous, but in the immortal words of Michael Flanders, "There will always be an England, well isn't saying much is it. There'll always be a North Pole. If some dangerous clown doesn't go and melt it."

Odgen Nash has a funny poem about noisy neighbors (vis a vis your post yesterday) but I'm too lazy to go find it.
