2. Yeppers, nicely juxtaposed with the McMansion story |
|
I'm waiting for McMansion fever to hit my area. I'm in a buffer zone between the town's old money area and the ghet-to. I chose the area because it's convenient to everything. I'm sure the well heeled will follow.
Those 20,000 square foot monstrosities use so much more for materials, heating, cooling, and powering all the gadgets that they have to be seen as a contributor to global warming.

4. Haven't yet seen the Mc Mansion story |
|
But these poor polar bears. Female bears are down 50 pounds. Weaker mothers and weaker babies.

23. I wonder if they could be taught to eat politicians. |
|
Nah. Probably make 'em sick. Besides, the logistics would be a nightmare.

8. We don't need no stinkin' glaciers. |
|
Hey, all that melting water should help with the drought, no?
:sarcasm:
I'm not watching. I'm already down in the dumps...

12. 7 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, and those ungodly kitchens |
|
that are there only for the maid to polish up. The trophy wife who admitted she'd never COOK in it really said it all about those people.
Useless fucking parasites.

|
just jealous, envious. Uh...no, it's because you want to build a HIDEOUS house on a lot that is way to small for it, sir.

15. Michael Weiner Savage says its all volcanoes under the sea! |
|
For some reason he believes this is whats causing global warming (hmmm, could it be because this wouldn't be a man-made event versus the other 564 signs that point to global warming that would be man-made??? hmmm)
This is about the least outrageous thing that spews from his orifice.

20. I've also heard it's because the sun is getting hotter |
|
If you can believe that BS. Even if these neo-cons admit there is global warming occuring, they'll bend over backwards to say it's not man's fault. Of course not.
I think I'll go on one of the freeper boards and come up with a new "natural" reason. It's the quantum magnetic isospheric field fluctuations that are causing it.
