Seriously.

Not from The Onion.

How Do You Know That Liberals Don't Actually Believe In Global Warming?

Because, if they actually believed that ocean levels were going to rise soon, they'd be buying beach front property in Kansas.

So many on the left argue that the trend is irreversible, or we've gone too far. How about betting on a sure thing then? They're missing out on the investment opportunity of a lifetime! But, then what do liberals know about investing?

I don't see liberals fleeing the coast in droves, either. I mention this because Fred is all hacked off at one writer who suggests that global warming might be a welcome plague upon conservatives.

You know something? I'll bet the whole global warming scare is just a massive left-wing conspiracy, to keep real estate prices low for democratic congressmen who want to own beach front houses.

My Business Plan

The new energy bill phases out the incandescent light bulb. Apparently, our government doesn't realize that the alternative technology is not a suitable "or equal" replacement yet, and Hollywood doesn't realize that those aren't CFL bulbs above the mirrors in the dressing room or in the ETC Source Fours lighting the stage.

Ok, whatever. If the government is taking away the light bulb, I may as well take advantage of it. I'm stocking up on illegal light bulbs, and then I'll wait. Plenty of people are going to want my product, because the light is still far superior to CFL and LED. I'll be able to own the black market. That's tax free income, too!

When I've sold enough of my contraband, I'll not stop there. The governement can't outlaw the components of an incandescent bulb. Argon, glass, and tungsten wire aren't used only in light bulbs. So, all I need to do is buy an abanodoned production line cheap from Ebay, put it in a warehouse, and fire it up. I'll be Thomas Edison and Paul Revere in one! And, I'll be rich.

I should thank the president for handing me my retirement plan.

I am on The Corner!

John Derbyshire on The Corner today recounts an episode where him and some buddies are sitting around a fire and decide to see if a fire can melt a beer bottle. His wife comes out and sees it and has a reaction other than studied fascination. Some of the follow up e-mails he received talked about some guys who designed a slingshot to shoot a buick and John's follow up to that was now let us see about melting a buick.

Hehehe, I have never been to it, but many of my friends from the Appleton Area have been and that is Wisconsin International Raceway's The Eve of Destruction. They have a bunch of wacky races (figure 8 trailer races, school bus races, backward races, etc) and that at the end of the night they pile the car wrecks up and well, click on the links to find out what happens to the wrecks!

Anyway here are the notes

The original:

[Me] That's an awesome picture. So long as we can produce events like this, America is OK.
