British tycoon Richard Branson dangled a $25 million prize before the world's top scientists Friday seeking to spur research into devising ways to suck greenhouse gases out of the air.
Former Vice President Al Gore lent his support to the challenge, which came a week after a landmark report by the world's leading climate scientists and government officials warned that global warming will continue, creating a far different planet in 100 years.
"Man created the problem, therefore man should solve the problem," Branson said.
He compared the quest to a competition Britain's Parliament launched in 1714 to devise a method of estimating longitude accurately. Six decades passed before English clockmaker John Harrison received his prize from King George III for discovering an accurate method.
"The Earth cannot wait 60 years. We need everybody capable of discovering an answer to put their minds to it today," Branson said.
I think what we need to do is kill off as many people as possible... maybe two or three billion for starters. You know its coming to that anyway so I thought I'd be first. Do I get my $25 million now?
Well now, that 25 million is surely mine for I, Meowsevich S. Punchenko, have devised a new social movement which will take this bloated greed ridden country by storm. Yes, my mind combined with various U.N lackeys has meshed together to form Crapping For Climate Change®, a progressive new pro-active group which will collectively crap, fart and spew methane gases into the atmosphere to save our Mother Earth from the dreaded global warming apocalypse! I am currently urging all useful-idiots to join me and countless others around the world on June 14th as we crap, fart and spew brown fluids in public to save our Earth! We poo for the children! We do it for them!
Q: How does this work?
A: It's easy! All you have to do is make a generous contribution of $500 to Crapping For Climate Change®, meet us on the 14th outside local restuarants and other public venues in D.C, pull your pants down, drink a bottle of super-lax, and then let mother nature do the rest! Our collective crap will reek to the point that the Earth has no choice but to produce what we call "cooling air" to rid itself of the smell. Either that or the White House decides to sign the Kyoto Treaty to get us (the unwashed masses) from crapping all over the place.
Q: Can I bring my friends, family and pets with me?
A: Sure! We need everyone around the world to donate and then collectively crap at the same time for this to work. Of course we know everyone can't travel to D.C on the 14th, so we are asking folks in China, North Korea, Cuba, Europe and other progressive countries/land masses/acceptable places to live other than America to just mail their turds in an envelope! Go ahead, shove Fido's turd in the mail and send it to us! We would LOVE to line the streets with multi-cultural turds the world over! We are doing this to save humanity.... we crap for the children, remember that!
Q: My grandmother is dead, can I bring her anyways?
A: I don't see why not! She is voting Democrat isn't she?! Well, isn't she!?! Go ahead and bring nanna and whatever else you can find that has a particular stange odor... we need all the help we can get to usher in Global Methane Cooling... you do want to help the children, don't you?
...' think what we need to do is kill off as many people as possible... maybe two or three billion for starters. You ... Do I get my $25 million now?'
Sorry, friend. Comrades Blackmun, Burger, Brennan, Douglas, Marshall, Powell and Stewart already beat you to that idea - and have impimented it to great success.
I think what we need to do is kill off as many people as possible... maybe two or three billion for starters. You know its coming to that anyway so I thought I'd be first. Do I get my $25 million now?
The good news is, YES!!! YOU HAVE WON $25 MILLION DOLLARS!!! *ka-ching!*
The bad news is, you're going to be among the two or three billion scheduled to be killed off. Sorry, Margaret. Rules are rules. (Take that suitcase with ca$h from her and give it to me. Good. Now put her in handcuffs and call her uncle - he can have her back for another $25 mil. Tell him it's for the children.)
Gahaha! I just got the grant approved for my company, The D.C Metro Waste Disposal Inc., to handle the "clean up efforts" after the useful idiots crap all over the streets! Ahaha! Easy money, comrades... easy money. All that poo... who is going to clean it up!? Oh, Congress knows! Congress will get Meowsevich's Waste Disposal contractor to clean it up! Yes! And then he can charge $2,000 for every turd (which will be in the millions, mind you) to be cleaned up! PERFECT! Ugh, I love our new progressive Congress and the tax-dollars that can be weaseled out of it... Global Warming is definitely my new ca$h cow. The money alone from the $500 entry donation will tally up enough to buy myself a new private jet... and the millions in turd sweeping will allow me to buy a private island in the Caribbean so that I may take a trip in my new private jet! <lights cigar> yes, it doesn’t get any better than this <pffftttttt><pheeeewww>
Sorry Margie about your dilemma, wish I could help ya but I'm to busy reaping in the rewards. Yuk yuk yuk!
The good news is, YES!!! YOU HAVE WON $25 MILLION DOLLARS!!! *ka-ching!*

Not in my book mister Square. I'm a girl, and a very wealthy girl with a lot more wherewithal than that. And you aren't. This is Richard Branson and Al Gore's contest not yours.
But, I've been thinking about this carbon dioxide thing. I was having lunch at Mitzie's and drinking a Bubble Up and watching all those little bubbles bubbling up in the glass and I realized something that no one seems to've thought of. This global warming thing is really Coca-Cola and Pepsi's fault. It's really simple when you see it. There's a lot of soda pop. I drink soda-pop, you drink soda-pop. People are drinking soda pop all over the world. Gallons of it. And every time you drink soda pop it's releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. What do you think carbonation is? Gasoline is just oil that's been refined. How much carbon dioxide is there in that? About none, that's how much. You ever see any little bubbles sparkling up in gasoline like the bubbles in a 7-Up? Nope. So, I think it should be illegal to make or drink any carbonated beverages. I mean, that's where the carbon dioxide is.
But don't millions of people die in the production of this "soda-pop" you speak of, Margie? I mean, don't we want people to die to reduce their "ecological foot-print" on the earth? Hmmm... I'm confused and require a prolier being to explain this to me.
I'm confused and require a prolier being to explain this to me.
No you don't. This is really easy. All you have to know Chairman is that the war against soda pop and it's usage will create a black market for illegal soda pop. That's where you come in. What we need is a War Against Soda Pop in order to save the Planet! ...along the lines of the war against drugs. It's a real Feel Good - Feel Good solution to the problem of pollution!
Yes! And then we can expand the beauracracies to fight this "scourge of soda-pop" that is taking our youngsters by storm! We can then fill the federal posts with our friends, relatives, appliances and pets and, and, and then divert the federal money into our personal coffers! BRILLIANT! Of course we would have to go after the suppliers and not the users... that way we can ensure that this perpetual war against "soda-pop" will last for centuries!
I knew you'd come around. Soda pop is a danger to the world. I'll bet the rising production and drinking of soda pop around the world can even be correlated with the results from global warming computer climate models. This is big. Really big. The large amounts of carbon released into the atmosphere correspond to the increasing worldwide production of softdrinks. Why, this is so big it might have to be written up as it's own column!
Yes, we must bring the truth to The People™ about Big Soda Pop™ and the dangers it has on the environment, The People™, The Children™, equality, the economy, The Appliances™ ect. We must launch numerous campaigns, think-tanks, Congressional hearings and then top it off with a media blitz on the gross profits that Big Soda Pop™ enjoyed during Hurricane of Racial Hatred Katrina™... I see outrage; I see pandemonium and unwashed pony-tailed activist lining the streets in D.C in Collective Moral Outrage™ over this corporate fiend and its horrendous profiteering!
REGULATE THE SODA INDUSTRY, NOW! PRO-ACTIVE SPORKS AND SPOONS!!!
Comrades! You are thinking too much into this. The solution is easy, albeit a complex one to implement. Think of this:
Was there global warming in 10000 BC?
No, everything was hunky dory. So all we need to do is revert civilization back to what it was in 10000BC. That includes world population. So we outlaw the drilling of all oil and natural gas. Viola! Problem solved. Without oil, there will be nothing for autos to run on, no plastic, no nothing made from oil. In turn, there will be no computers, no vehicles, no fancy houses, no streets, no clothes, no machines, etc. That will accomplish reverting us technologically back to the stone age. Now the population problem will take care of itself with all the riots and starvings and such.
The Party faithful will of course be given the appropriate cave space that is due their rank and shall be spared from the misery of the transition, for we will need to be around to keep some semblance of society after the dust settles.
Then we can all sit around in the dark at night (no fires...pollution) and rest easy knowing that we have done our parts to save the world.

Comrade O'Brien........... ARE YOU MAD!?! DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO WITHOUT THREE LIMOS’ AND ALL THE MODERN PERKS OF AN APPARATCHIK!?!?!?
OK, deep breaths, Meow....inhale.....exhale... ahh, OK, I'm better now..
Errhhmmm... let us start from the beginning, which is a very good place to start if you ask me.
The goal of The Party is to establish Feudalism... OK, that is the goal... North Korea being the model we wish to work off of. OK, now then... Science will serve as our "religion"... OK, think of peasants in the medieval ages who couldn't read the Latin Bible... OK, and had to have the help of a clergyman to "read" for him/her/it... Following me yet? OK, good... so now then, we The Party Elite (or Feudal Lords) will prevail over the peasants (unwashed masses of People) while having Science to JUSTIFY (key word here) that we ARE RIGHT TO RULE by the DIVINITY OF NATURAL SELECTION which His Most Exalted Excellency, Charles Darwin, so decided. We will use our "science" (if that's what you want to call it ) to maintain control over the masses... how can they disagree with something when they 1.) know very little about it 2.) are taught that numbers triumph over all 3.) a man in a white coat and thick glasses tells them so... how can they disagree with that!? THE ANSWER, MY DEAREST O'BRIEN, IS THAT THEY CAN'T!
We are building a paradise and will get to keep our perks while doing so.... all because Charles Darwin, hallowed be thy name, overcame reason with deformed monkey bones! Thank the deformed monkey bones, O'Brien, thank them - they deserve it!
The Party faithful will of course be given the appropriate cave space that is due their rank and shall be spared from the misery of the transition, for we will need to be around to keep some semblance of society after the dust settles.
Then we can all sit around in the dark at night (no fires...pollution) and rest easy knowing that we have done our parts to save the world.
No way. That doesn't work for me. I like to eat at cafes and restaurants not in some darn cave gnawing on bones. I like to go on shopping safari to Europe and Singapore. I'm not doing any hunter gatherer stuff. If I'm going to rough it in primitive surroundings I stay at the Ritz-Carlton on Maui. You know what the night life is like on Maui? It's like non-existent.
What we need to do is get our priorities straight and go after Big Soda Pop. They're the biggest producers of carbon dioxide in the world. They're practicaly pumping the stuff into the air. We have to raise the consiousness of the world on this issue. Big Soda Pop is going to destroy the planet and kill us all. They're already drowning all those cute polar bears. Why, all that carbon dioxide is even affecting the poor polar bears minds. Until just very recently polar bears were one of the most proficent swimmers in the world but now that they've been breathing all that carbon dioxide emitted by Big Soda Pop they can't even remember how to swim!
Global warming has to stop!
Down with Big Soda Pop!
The Party is currently fabricating the needed computer generated models (with numbers!) to take down the scourge of Big Soda Pop™. Al Gore is currently on line-two and we have a few DNC Strategist coaching him on his presentation. As for me, well, I will be making my rounds at the U.N to pay-off a few "white-coats" (wink, wink...nudge,nudge) to go along with the data we came up with... which the Tides Foundation (Lenin bless them) spent a whole ten minutes fabricating... ugh, they work so hard... how do they do it!? HOW!?
Ok ok. No sitting in caves gnawing on bones. Got it.
So now we must fabricate the lies about how we The Party elite must unfortunately have the jets and limos and things that are shiny, not because we want them mind you, but because we are forced to have them for the common good. How else is glorious Chairman Punchenko supposed to get from place to place to dole out the Common Good , if not in a limo? How else am I supposed to root out dissidents if not zipping from point A to point B in my luxury jumbo jet? Those dissidents are quick! How else is Comrade Red supposed to hand down party approved doctrine if not from a twenty room mansion complete with harem? He must have a means of relaxation comrades. Remember it's a curse really that we will be forced to have all of these things, but it is a curse we will be bear, for we bear it for the children.
Better?

Mister O'Brien sir, we don't deal in lies. This is one of the most deadly serious issues of our time. Coca Cola and Pepsi are getting away with murder.
What we need is a rock concert fund-raiser. There's nothing that convinces people about the seriousness of an issue like a rock concert fund-raiser.

Lies? Did I say lies? It must have been a typo. What I mean of course is relative truth. We must spread the relative truth to the masses, and of course a rock concert full of progressive minded individuals is the perfect venue! They could work themselves into a frothy orgy of anti CO2 blather!
I for one (...stuffs sacks of Mr. Pibb into trunk of limo..) am outraged at the negligence of these kapitalist corporations (*stuff* *stuff* Need more room!!) and they should all be held (..jumps on trunk to get it closed..) personally liable! (..throws cases of Pepsi into the back seat..) I call for a petition campaign so that we can sue (..throws cases of Jack Daniels on top of the Pepsi..) the bejeebus out of Big Soda!! (*slams door*)

I think France wins the big prize. They're going to implement an enlightened regimen of taxation and regulation in order to get everyone in line. One of Chirac's big plans is to tax countries that don't sign the Kyoto treaty a special "carbon tax" on any imported items they sell in France. What this means in practice is, they will force their fellow Frenchmen, perhaps the entire EU, to pay more for imports.
This will make the Americans pay for ignoring the Kyoto treaty. "Sign the papers or we'll shoot ourselves!" Let that be a lesson to you, imperialist swine!
France Tells U.S. To Sign Climate Pacts or Face Tax wrote
He [Jacques Chirac] said that he welcomed last week’s State of the Union address in which President Bush described climate change as a “serious challenge” and acknowledged that a growing number of American politicians now favor emissions cuts.
But he warned that if the United States did not sign the agreements, a carbon tax across Europe on imports from nations that have not signed the Kyoto treaty could be imposed to try to force compliance. The European Union is the largest export market for American goods.
Carbon Tax! Brilliant! Why did not we think of it?! Just goes to show you what men of courage the French are, taking on evil capitalist. -- Carbon Tax! I Love it!
Hmmm mayhap we should expand this idea of a 'carbon tax'. It sounds to me that we should tax producers of carbon, so we should tax people who own cars, people who use natural gas to heat their homes (or cook), people who have fireplaces, people who build campfires, people who drink soda, people who burp, people who fart, and breathing!!! Yes!! Breathing has got to be the number one producer of CO2 in the world! Comrades we must start a campaign to either get everyone to stop breathing in the name of the planet or to wear heavy bulky cumbersome filtration units similar to the ones we require coal burning power plants to use!

Actually... and please don't ask how I know this... the effects of oxygen breathing life forms putting out CO2 as a result of breathing is cancelled out somewhat by CO2 breathing life forms - there is a net decrease... However, because flatus is similar among all life forms whether they breathe O2 or CO2, there is a net increase because there is no cancelling effect... so... the carbon culprit your lookin' for is farts...
That said, the world's cow population produces monumental amounts of methane...

That's it! Mister O'Brien I think you've found the best way to eliminate carbon. Everyone should have to wear special filtration units.
I never thought of it before but all those billions of people around the planet all breathing out carbon dioxide has to be the biggest single contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide. I wonder how many tons of carbon dioxide each person breathes out every year? And then there's Al Gore. He's one of those "heavy breathers" and should probably be considered an environmental risk to the Planet. I think everyone should have to go through testing every year or two, like cars in some areas are tested for exhaust pollution, to measure carbon breathing output.

Sounds like paid industry propaganda to me. Everyone knows that the Planet's forests are being clear cut down to nothing and global warming is creating deserts. There's hardly any plants left anymore. Thousands and thousands of acres of forest are being destroyed every year. Al Gore just recently said so.
Well... as you say Margaret, eliminating carbon would really go a long way to helping... oh... wait... life on earth is carbon-based... Crap, crap, crap (no... I'm not saying crap is the problem)... Oh well... back to the drawing board! <cue laugh track... and... APPLAUSE>...
Holy crap! I just remember an article I read about methane hydrates! In a nutshell these hydrates are basically frozen methane that are naturally formed in the earths oceans due to pressure and other scientific mucky muck. These hydrates break free from earthquakes or mud slides or some scientific blah blah and then proceed to 'melt' and release the methane into the atmosphere thus contributing to global warming! They must be stopped! I think we need to drain the world's oceans to prevent these hydrates from forming! For if they don't form they can't eventually 'evaporate' and pollute our atmosphere!
I'm sure our crack(pot) scientists can figure out a reason why these hydrates are caused by man's being on the planet.

Yes!!! But don't forget that the release of frozen methane is triggered by volcanic eruptions. We must force all world government (by taxing them) to put a cap on those volcanos.

I mean pry those wallets from the hands of the masses when there's only one of you and no one to distract the mar.. the future voters... We must have you healthy and free of the shakes.
Also, I believe Dr. P. has arranged for the two of you to meet some local business leaders in da club, sippin on some Bud, after your Friday meetings... Just one moment... He left you a message while you were out... ummm... ahhh... here it is... "Daddy, I got what you need, you a sexy little thug - We gon party like its your birthday... Dr. P."

Alert Al Gore and his cronies! I feel "An Inconvenient Truth Part 2: The Flatulence Equation" coming on!
And your blizzard SMO, we experienced a similar snow storm here in the Peoples State of Illinois, it's because of global warming! Yes! Global warming is causing sub zero temperatures and snow and ice and all things cold! I have proof! See it's all hot and stuff around the equator right, getting hotter and hotter and hotter cause of global warming. So as we all know hot air rises right? Where where does the air come from to replace the air that is rising? From north of the equator (or south)! It sucks all the cold air from the poles to replace all the warm air that is rising and thus making everything cold and snowy and blizzardy and stuff! Damn you global warming for cooling everything off! *shakes fist at random objects*

Hey! I will have you know that it is true that the ration coupons are not supporting me anymore. The more that I climb up the party, the more I realize that I need more. The condo, sports car, and endless supply of rationing coupons are not enough anymore. I need to relax more when I go home (bossing robots around and hunting furs for The Common Good really takes it out of me.) I had to go to Macy's to earn more $money$ to support what I modestly need (btw Kommissar SMO, since you are the Kommissar of house cleaning, could you send a kleaning komrade over to take care of my condo, its a disater), but I am not going over to the kapitalist side of the force. As you can see, I am using this opprotunity to spread the party's doctrine.
it is true that the ration coupons are not supporting me anymore.
Good. We feel the need to discontinue the redistribution of beets because they cause flatulence which results in Global Warming. All Party members are directed to switch to either sustenance farming or highway robbery and extortion - whichever better suits your needs.
Please contact our Robbery and Extortion Coordinator (Chairman Punchenko) for details. We currently don't have a Sustenance Farming Coordinator for lack of requests.

France proposes carbon import tax
The EU should impose an additional tax on goods imported from countries that fail to join a post-2012 climate agreement, according to French prime minister Dominique de Villepin.
De Villepin said a ‘carbon tax’ on imports of industrial goods is necessary to avoid environmental ‘dumping’, where carbon-intensive products are manufactured in countries that have no targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Cremation of human corpses has been outlawed by the WFSU.
The Soylent Green / Stranger in a Strange Land solution law has passed the Parliamentary Soviet Congress of Planetary Suffrage in the burning of carbon units of any kind. With this development and the successful passage of non-volcanic eruption and non-oceanic evaporation law that had come into earlier effect, the Global Warming Solution has been Solved for all eternity.

OK, I want to give a tip on how to effectively conduct a successful highway robbery:
1.) Find unwashed womyn student activist, a broken down VW Bus (painted in trippy colors) and dress them in something *cute* (ask Margie about what works)
2.) Have broken down VW Bus on the side of a major highway (outside a college campus and near an Applebee's) and wait for unsuspecting "do-gooder" or "horny male chauvinist pig" to stop for assistance.
3.) have unwashed womyn student activist flirt for exactly two minutes before pulling out AK-47's to execute a " Progressive Moral Action" (robbery).
4.) Collect watches, wallets, expensive shoes, jewelry of any nature and purses (that is if a class-exploiter woman is present) and anything else of considerable value.

Congratulations... you have completed a successful highway robbery for the Common Good™ and have effectively condemned a capitalist knuckle-dragging exploiter to possibly 20 years in a Federal prison! Go ahead, pat yourself on the back - YOU deserve it!
On Ira Einhorn Day, all Collectivist Youth will be required to wear a super-glued unicorn horn on their foreheads in celebration of this brave, courageous and noble man/womyn/it and his/her/its contribution to Ecological Freedom Fighting!
Cremation of human corpses has been outlawed by the WFSU.
The Soylent Green / Stranger in a Strange Land solution law has passed the Parliamentary Soviet Congress of Planetary Suffrage in the burning of carbon units of any kind. With this development and the successful passage of non-volcanic eruption and non-oceanic evaporation law that had come into earlier effect, the Global Warming Solution has been Solved for all eternity.
April 22nd will now be a World Holiday now known as Ira Einhorn Day
Quite right! We must revile the evil thought-criminal Robert Heinlein. His perverse musings have led millions of young mouldable minds to such backward and destructive concepts as TANSTAAFL (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch - one of his favourite aphorisms, which clearly puts him at odds with the Party and the People), and the idea that voluntary militarism is an appropriate response and a duty when your civilization is threatened, as outlined in his hate pamphlet, Starship Troopers (it was eventually sanitized into a perfectly harmless movie by our brothers and sisters in Hollywood, but the book remains a threat to future generations).
I propose we begin our celebration of this monumental new global holiday by killing someone we love and stuffing them in a trunk in the closet (thereby removing one more person who might breathe or fart), and then eating as many copies of Heinlein's books as possible. Alternately, we could eat the person we killed as a sort of final ironic Grokish flip-off to the thought-criminal Heinlein, and so we don't go hungry... the books can be for dessert... or we could stuff our clothes with them to stay warm when global warming covers our world with ice...
Looks like we got our Red The Progressive Hedgehog, Kommissar of Wildlife and Robotics. I didn't know he was moonlighting for Macy's. One might almost conclude that the ration coupons we so generously give him are not enough to support this comrade's lifestyle.
The CCCP track jacket is a staple of my campus wardrobe - I'm rarely seen without one. I happen to own three of the brand that RedProgHog is so adeptly modeling here.
Thank Allah they're not trees. They suck up Co2 and turn it into oxygen so more people (and infidels...that there are left) can breath.
Wait....I'm confused, if we quit burning and eating people, the trees will die....and what about cow flatulence?
OMG!
Hmmm... I see we have more problems then anticipated. Well then, progressive means always yields a morally acceptable solution!
First we pre-select those useful-idiots who will be needed to keep the trees alive. We then chain these useful-idiots to the trees in order for the tree to have "people powered life-support™". All other useful-idiots who are in questionable health will be used for food (except the elderly, we need them in order to use Social Security scare tactics to garner more votes). There you go... that problem is solved. As for the cows, we could always do what O'Brien suggested and fit them with special "filtering-suits" which will turn the CO2 into a nice patchouli incense smell (thus overpowering the smell of burning pot once we legalize it). These suits will be expensive and will require ridiculous amounts of tax-dollars - ridiculous, maybe, but ridiculous is just another word for necessity!
Hmmm.... burning people will have to be outlawed which isn't a problem, we still have the mass-grave technique which IS more Earth friendly and would fertilize the soil so that The People™ can grow potatoes.
Dr. P and I will be attending New York Fashion Week soon, we plan to shake down the whole Progressive Elite Community while viewing the nations top rag makers. We also plan on unionizing the models there... that is after we get them drunk and, uhhh, well you know.
...and work on their essay skills, of course - to help them work up a solid thesis and bring the point to its successful conclusion. <get your minds out of the gutter>
I just love New York Fashion Week. Kid in a candy store... And if we can't convince the six-foot-something, size zero, coke-snorting, bulimic/anorexic, haute-couture-wearing glitterati to unionize, then no one can, baby.
BTW, Punchy, ole pal, which Hollywood tool is loaning us his/her jet for this year's festivities?
And your blizzard SMO, we experienced a similar snow storm here in the Peoples State of Illinois, it's because of global warming! Yes! Global warming is causing sub zero temperatures and snow and ice and all things cold! I have proof! See it's all hot and stuff around the equator right, getting hotter and hotter and hotter cause of global warming. So as we all know hot air rises right? Where where does the air come from to replace the air that is rising? From north of the equator (or south)! It sucks all the cold air from the poles to replace all the warm air that is rising and thus making everything cold and snowy and blizzardy and stuff! Damn you global warming for cooling everything off! *shakes fist at random objects*
(*NOTE* I cannot take credit for making this up, I actually read that very theory in an article somewhere that I can't remember who wrote it or where I read it, but it just made me gape and shake my head)

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Comrade O'Brien,
Is quite pathetic storm as Kanadski storms go, and nothing compared to our neighbours in Oswego, NY... is only going to be maybe 18 inches by the end in my area.. and isn't wet snow... is no good for making snowmen or projectiles or forts. Eastern part of country is much worse - I think about 28 " (70 cm) very quickly. I believe the mechanism you are referring to is called Global Convection, and it is, in fact, responsible for the arctic air mass coming over Toronto that has been causing such bad wind chill factors in Ontario for the past two weeks. Tonight wind will be 60 km/h - is about 36 mph only, but b/c is cold, will feel about -35C. Global Convection is science - same mechanism responsible for helicopter which hovers too long in still air mass, getting sucked downward and dropping from sky... low pressure creates vacuum... in Kanadistan, no one can hear you scream... because we all have scarves wrapped very tightly around our heads... So... theory might sound funny, but doesn't mean it is... besides - is first real snow storm for Toronto this winter... is two months late, and next week, temperature will go up to 10C... that is 50F, and a bit warm for winter in Kanadistan...
Okay... time to go feed migrating polar bears before they get into Chairman's Hot Pockets and Schnappes...

Instead of burning corpses we must utilize them for the Greater Good through meals on wheels program, feeding the homeless and their pets. Those whose decomposition level makes them unsuitable for the consumption by the homeless and their pets, can be turned into pulp for growing tomatoes.
A model for such moral and balanced lifestyle has been provided for us in the politically correct movie "Waterworld" by People's Artist Kevin Kostin. The very premise of the movie is the aftermath of Global Warming and rising oceans, so in order to prevent that from happening and to protect Chairman Punchenko's waterfront property we need to start adopting that lifestyle without delay. The militaristic smokers and gas-guzzlers (Republican voters) on the one side, the progressive community growing tomatoes from the pulp made of dead bodies (Democrat voters) on the other side.
Everybody must stop using environmentally harmful soap and start wearing fishnets, tattoos, body piercings, and funny haircuts while living in close communes and sharing the scarce resources that the sea washes out on the shore. Since no industries will be allowed nobody will have to work. Yay! Imagine how many votes this plan will bring us.
AHHH... Does this mean The Chairman and Dr. P will be needing your Highwaymen outfits cleaned? Dr. P! You are very difficult to find "hosiery" for, given your height... and will have to be digging for black powder and musket balls... damn! Why can't you give a dolphin a little more notice!!!
Please let me know what type of plumage is for going on funny Britisher hats. May I also suggest plain black masks this time, as you look silly in Mardi Gras fifi things and no models on catwalk will 'show you their tits' in return for beads, during fashion week... I promise...

BTW, Punchy, ole pal, which Hollywood tool is loaning us his/her jet for this year's festivities?
I think Harvey decided to bite the bullet this year. His jet is most accommodating and will be big enough to fit all the models, $oft-ca$h, luggage, crates of Propaganda, limousines and all the other essentials needed to make us look extremely important and influential. I would petition the Madame Speaker to loan us her luxury liner for the week - but she has some "business" with some corporate fat-cats.
Tis a shame really, I was looking forward to getting drunk with Barney the Dinosaur and Babs.

As for the plumage, it's got to be ostrich feather, and, I agree with your suggestion of going with "plain black masks". I guess the foppish chartreuse and gold disguise that I wore last time didn't quite inspire the requisite dread in our kulak prey. Yeah, so they laughed at me...
Oh, and, I didn't realize that the emaciated models of our age had 'tits'.
That whole pistol misfiring was particularly embarrassing, that is until the projectile hit Commissar Roscoe in the face (which made it most amusing). Of course he suffered in agonizing pain and had to wear metal nose piece for the rest of his days, or should I say until he was shipped out to Siberia for the whole Taurus incident... yes, I believe the ACLU collected him around two in the morning and had to pull him out of a soaking wet bed (he was bed-wetter, I'm told). Which is a shame no doubt, I heard horror stories of how a bed-wetter doesn't last in Siberia, you know, with it being below zero and all... yes, I hear some have to be thawed out of their own urine before given a speedy trial.
LET THAT BE A LESSON TO ANYONE WHO DARES TO CHAUFFER PARTY OFFICIALS IN A FORD TAURUS! UNACCEPTABLE… ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!

You're more than welcomed to come with us, Margie. I know how you like to hob-nob with the super rich and famous. If you come I will buy you a very cheap second-hand Hello-Kitty sketch book so you can draw all the latest rag styles. Your Uncle Ka-Ching told me how much you like to be around the well-to-do coked up people of alternative life-styles and how much you enjoy hitting up the night scene with this years "it girl" (although I think Paris Hilton is still in the headlines, or on the cover of some raunchy tabloid). Just be sure to let us know so we can give you a private room on the jet so that we can keep you away from the scantily-clad models in the orgy room (I wouldn't want you to become corrupted on account of Dr. P and I - that is until you are fully programmed by the media to become a coke whore... and when I say coke you know I mean fairy dust and not the dreaded soda-pop which is destroying the youth).

Not hardly, Chairman. That's not my crowd at all. And I'll thank you to not be so patronizing. Hello Kitty and Japanese anime isn't my style, my style is more "retro cool."
Comrade! Is that CO2 bubbling up out of that pool?
Very perceptive. The modern version of Hell. Suffer for thy sins, corporate fascist sinner, and be cast into the fires of damnation and Global Warming. The modern Hell has pools of bubbling CO2 to help keep the place hot. But, a nice lady like me can always get a cool drink. Get it?

Yes, I must admit that Roscoe's brief stint in the Tyco Brahe lookalike club provided enough levity to get us through 1000 misfires.

Regarding Petronius' Satyricon, you've got love "Dinner with Trimalchio". The story's main antagonist, Trimalchio, is a boorish parvenu - the perfect personification of a proto-capitalist - guilty of every appalling inelegance and excess known to humankind. If someone could have used a subscription to Ditch Living and Collective Gardening®, it would have been him.
So he held a lavish party at his house and invited the hungry poor to attend. Big whoop - he didn't do it for The Common Good™ - he did it to make himself look beneficent - disgusting pig! In fact, he patronized the proles with his ostentatious display. This was not altruism, this was the false charity of capitalism, which always has self-interest at its heart.
When the Chairman and I throw a wild bash abounding with delicacies and sumptuous sundries, we don't invite the proples. No, we care about their welfare and self-esteem so much that we would never dare to condescend to them. We are all altruists!

You and the Chairman would never stoop to such vulgarism, surely! To lift people out of their ditches for even a second risks that they will see over the edge, and the precipitous drop back into reality from such heady heights of bourgeoise opulance will certainly crush their spirits, and hinder the cause. Such "altruism" would only be cruelty. They have no idea how good they have it and they have the true Altruism of Dr. P and Chairman Meow to thank for their happiness.

A baby belly-worm and his mother stick their heads out of a sleeping guy's asshole and look around.
"What is that huge blue thing above our heads, Mother?" the little belly-worm asks.
"It's the sky, dear," she answers.
"And what is that huge green thing below?"
"It's a grassy lawn, honey."
"It's so beautiful, Mother. Why can't we go and live there instead of this stinky asshole?"
"Because, my dear son, this asshole is our Motherland, and we must always love it and be forever grateful and faithful to it."

Kommissar Hedgehog: Excellent work, kid! And, hey, I like your style.
Good morning comrades and welcome aboard Air RedSkies flight "Revolution", this is your captain general speaking,
That is a brilliant idea Premier Betty! Although we have a problem, where should the next attack be? I am personally tied between both the Kapitalist Tower (Sears) or the Statue of Liberty (the symbol of evil!).
No, we need the Statue of Liberty to stay because it is both a gift from the ever superior French, and to destroy it might bring their military wrath down upon us. For that reason, and because it is also the ACLU's mascot. we don't want to bother them with trying to find another one. They already have enough to deal with, what with their activist lawsuits, and undermining and corrupting of the constitution. I believe the Sears tower would be a perfect location for the next terrorist, I mean, peaceful demonstration of disapproval.
Yes, good idea Premier Betty, that way more infedels will die. Layers, Businessmen, Bankers..... Oh! So exciting! This will be an awsome att- I mean "Peaceful Protest".
I think though, that we should paint it red. As it stands right now, it is the ACLU's mascot, but it is also preverted by Kapitailist. They use it as thier symbol of what they say is freedom (which anyone that got an re-edukation should know that is not true.) Thus, painting it red (like on the gay revonultionary guard did in thier music video), will throw away its old symbol and become a internationally accepted mascot for the slendid ACLU.
A transgendered Statue of Socialism is what we need - not the bloated bigoted relics of the past (which the Statue of Liberty clearly is). Of course the Statue of Socialism will stand eighty stories tall, will be constructed by the finest in unionized labor, made in shoddy materials, and of course..... it will resemble Phil Donahue (complete with black rim glasses and cheesy grin). Out Statue of Socialism will hold a glow-in-the-dark dildo which will serve as the beacon of progressive hope to the unwashed masses of the third-world!
The People's interpretation of Emma Lazarus' "New Colossus" which will be dedicated to the Phil Donahue Statue of Socialism...
"Give me your ignorant, lazy, deadbeat losers. Your unwashed masses yearning to rape the system. Send these, the victims, the temptress' tot to me. I lift my glowing dildo beside the golden door of entitlement programs!"
You'd better believe it, SMO. Our Gwyneths will be Union gals, through and through, handpicked from the best that UFO (Union of Flight Occupationists) has to offer.
The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans
of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent,
by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant
pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other -
until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's
official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
