Fairytales collide in Washington State:
A grim Christmas message for kids from the mayor of Seattle. Greg Nickels told small children he’s launching “Operation Save Santa” to protect the big guy from global warming. At a Christmas tree lighting, Nickels warned the kids they had to use energy efficient light bulbs, or climate change could melt the North Pole—- and drown Santa, his elves and all his reindeer.
Nickels doesn’t seem so energy efficient himself; credit, though, for taking this anti-illumination stand during a Christmas tree lighting. Meanwhile, politicians keep yammering about el calentarse global, but people – even Democrats – keep not caring:
Global warming ranked at the bottom in the Post’s poll of Democratic voters in Iowa who were asked, “What is the single most important issue in your choice for the Democratic candidate for president?”
The top response was “the war in Iraq,” with 33 percent, while 26 percent said “health care.” Ten percent chose “economy/jobs,” and others identified a dozen other issues. A smart-alecky 1 percent answered, “nothing.”
But global warming ranked even lower than “nothing,” with one-half percent.
Let’s see what they say when Santa’s skeleton, picked clean by ravenous polar bears, is retrieved from the North Pole’s boiling waters.
The bastards. I’m having a double cheeseburger for lunch to show my Santa Solidarity.

#2: And in Boston, America’s top doc told the Herald yesterday that Santa Claus should slim down, in the latest blow struck in a global politically correct crusade against the jolly fat man.
Well, if a Boston doctor thinks Santa ought to slim down, I imagine he’d recommend Ted Kennedy for full-body liposuction and radical man-boob reduction.
Good lord! They are finally starting to realize that most adults are too smart to fall for this nonsense, so what is their solution? Inculcate the children! I remember in grade school being lectured about the untold devastation that acid rain was about to cause and how the planet was going to be denuded of trees before I was 30. It scared me, it scared children everywhere, and the idiots with an agenda got what they wanted!

What, emissions reduction programmes that have been successful in reducing SO2 and NO2 levels at minimal cost to industry? The bastards!

Just got back from the markets… spent money I shouldn’t have. Made round to go ‘round. And wrote a long, long email to a friend.

Sorry, I was a Zipperhead. But for your F18 queries, an appropriate advisor would be
Lex, who has confessed to such deviant behavior in the past.Cheers

As a Seattle resident I can tell you that fat ass turd mayor Greg Nickels commutes to work in a chauffeur driven limo in which he averages 140 miles daily.

Well, who fault is it that Santa chose to build his toy manufacturing operation on ice suspended above a fucking ocean? Santa!
I say he can swim in his own pool of miscalculation and stupidity.
