Leonardo–Take Your Goat and Shove Up Your Wind Generator

by

The Chicago Tribune writes that Leonardo DiCaprio says, “Politicians who don’t believe in climate change ‘should not be allowed to hold public office’“.

Capping a day-long futurist fair and alternative music fest on the South Lawn of the goat_wind_generator_tetherWhite House Monday, President Barack Obama told actor Leonardo DiCaprio and atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe “we’re really in a race against time” to curb the worst impacts of climate change.

“We must empower leaders who not only believe in climate change but are willing to do something about it,” DiCaprio said. “The scientific consensus is in, and the argument is now over. If you do not believe in climate change you do not believe in facts, or in science, or empirical truths, and therefore in my humble opinion should not be allowed to hold public office.”

Now, Leonardo, in my humble opinion, the only good use for your wind generators is to tie up your goats. Contemplate that on your trip to Mars.

He’s a last-minute addition to the roster of festivities taking place this week in Germany. The change in venue appears to be related to what Wikileaks is clearly implying to be a perceived threat on Assange’s life.

Aleppo is Toast

CNN reports another feckless failure of Obama’s Syria-Russian Policy, “Syria: 2nd hospital destroyed by bombs as regime gains ground in Aleppo“.

At least seven people died and more remain trapped under rubble after “bunker-buster” bombs destroyed the M10 hospital in Aleppo on Monday, opposition activists from the Aleppo Media Center said.
Monday’s attack marked the third time in a week the M10 hospital was bombed. Airstrikes also pummeled the hospital, in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, last Wednesday and Saturday.

Free Range Kids – ’80’s Style

by

whiners_free_range_kidIf you think being a “Free Range” kid was good in the ’80’s, you shoulda been around in the ’50’s and ’60’s.

There were no bicycle helmets or car seatbelts.  You were packed off to school with a rifle on your back and Twinkies in your lunchbox.  And, of course, the only padding under the school steel playground equipment was asphalt.

Darwin always questions whether the “Look Both Ways” recessive genome has disappeared entirely from the ‘Jaywalker’ subclass of the human species.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors
