This one was too beautiful. I was out in the garage, varnishing my arms, and this guy was on the radio, which, let's face it, after ten o'clock at night you can hear anything imaginable on the radio, even updates on the Lindburgh kidnapping. Anyways, this guy was expounding on the rising sea-levels to come and how all of the underground utlities in port cities, amoung other calamaties, would wreak havoc on Wall Street for heaven's sake. But the good part was when he started bemoaning the fact that GW is not universally accepted. I think he said something like, "there's a small group of people out there, and they are good, very good, at getting their anti-science message out". Oh, sweet Jesus, I about slapped my face with the varnish brush to stop laughing. It brought back such fond memories. Like when I took my physical for the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy", and that 3 credit credit mail order course on the "grassy knoll" theory (I think I've got the certificate for that one around here somewhere), and then there was the photocopy of that op-ed from the NYT about the USSR, where the writer says, "I've seen the future and it works".
I mean, we've got hairdressers out there who, God bless 'em, are worried that their blow-dryers are contributing to the problem. Life, you can't make this stuff up.
