Pope Algore continues to withhold

the blessings of his Global Warming and this morning is frosty despite my driving my truck an insane amount over the weekend. Perhaps the evil GW doubters have secretly found a way to thwart the effects of the nasty carbon dioxide.

More likely, of course, is that the sun continues on its natural cycle of reduced output. But don’t tell the UN officials in charge of wasting our money or the Weather Channel lady. The former have no idea of what is going on and the latter knows everything, but has no idea of what is causing it.

On the national front we are told that the Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbig Brzezinski did not visit Israel as advertised, but instead returned to the US. No reason is known, but some think he was recalled by Hussein when he decided that he should wait until he is President before asking Israel to surrender to Syria.

If so that was a wise move. Israel’s answer will most likely be unprintable. Now and then.

In news of no particular importance we find that the NBA’s team in Seattle is making news by threatening to move to Oklahoma City if the citizens don’t build them a suitable home. The citizens, to my surprise, are saying, “No, and have a nice trip.”

I say “to my surprise” because, when I lived there in the mid eighties, I found the locals to be tough, level headed hard working people. But in recent years it appeared that enough Californians had moved in to dilute the commonsense factor to a very low level. Perhaps the price reductions of $1,000,000 homes to $900,000 homes has seized their attention.

As to the good people of Oklahoma City, that hand you feel on your wallet has a basketball in the other.
