Bad Gorbot

Hurricane Katrina supposedly was the clincher in the notion that global warming is caused by nefarious human greed. But, two years later and with nothing like it to have come again, the most famous hurricane-forecasting meteorologist, William Grey, blames the salt content of the oceans. He says Al Gore and the Nobel peace prize committee are doing a disservice to humanity for saying otherwise. Grey believes the climate will swing to global cooling soon enough. It’s been said–I forget by who–that Gore et al are only pushing this phony apocalypse to give the Dems something to run on since, as much as they dislike Bush’s Iraq policy, they know in their hearts that they very likely would have been forced by events to do exactly the same thing–and, for the good of the country, they’d better not interfere with it too much.

Let New Orleans die

It was a dump and a tourist trap to begin with. Now, despite a large drop in population since Hurricane Katrina, people still there are killing each other at a forty percent greater rate than they did before. So convenient to blame racism, the feds, Bush the Younger, etc. But local and state corruption prevented adequate flood protection in the first place, and an adequate response after nature sent the storm. The feds have spent $127 billion of our money on the Gulf Region. It’s time to let the alligators have sin city.
