Return of the Great Stink

Pope Francis may be right.  Maybe humans are turning the world into an "immense pile of filth".  Read an excerpt from an English parliament report calling for immediate legislative action to mitigate pollution in England's streams and rivers:

"That the increasing pollution of the rivers and streams of the country is an evil of national importance which urgently demands the application of remedial measures; that the discharge of sewage and the noxious refuse of factories into them is a source of nuisance and danger to health; that it acts injuriously not only on the locality where it occurs, but on the populations of the districts through which the polluted waters flow; that it poisons the water which in many cases forms the sole supply of the populations for all purposes, including drinking; and that it destroys the fish."

The above excerpt is from a report titled On the Pollution of the Rivers of the Kingdom; the Enormous Magnitude of the Evil...

(https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_Pollution_of_the_Rivers_of_the_Kingdom)

Judging by the report, Pope Francis should have written in his encyclical that humans are turning our sister, the earth, into an immense pile of filth lying in an ocean of immense filth.  He should have had the report not been written in 1868.

In the 19th century, the Thames river was the most polluted river in the world.  It was an open sewer that bred cholera and killed both fish and birds.  In 1858, a summer heat wave (obviously caused by manmade CO2 emissions from SUVs) helped create an event called the Great Stink.  The stench coming from the Thames river became so intense that the curtains of Parliament were dipped in chloride and lime in an attempt to filter out the odors.  (http://www.choleraandthethames.co.uk/cholera-in-london/the-great-stink/)

In the cartoon below, "Father Thames" is introducing his children, Cholera, Diphtheria, and Scrofula (tuberculosis of the neck) to "Lady London".

Fortunately today, the Thames river is much, much less polluted even though the population of London is now over 8 million.  In 1858, it was less than 3 million.

Today, we have another Great Stink.  The stench, this time, isn't coming from the Thames river but from progressives in government, science, education and even religious institutions.  The stench is composed of lies, dissembling, propaganda, leftist lawlessness,  bureaucratic regulations, executive orders, UN mandates and the like.

The Left, to include Pope Francis, think humankind can remake the Garden of Eden if we stop partaking of the "forbidden fruit".  For the Left, the forbidden fruit is fossil fuel - coal, oil, and natural gas.

For me, fossil fuels are the exact opposite of a forbidden fruit.  They are a gift from God, fully intended to be used for the betterment of Mankind.  It is surely a miracle that an abundant source of energy is right under our feet and whether humans use this energy source, it is still going to leach into the oceans and, for the Left, be an "immense cancer" in the tissues of our sister. 

I ask the Pope, "Shouldn't we remove this cancer from our sister?"

 

 

Daily Double on Word Play

Ever wonder what happened to Pope Benedict.  Well, Obama has Benedict for going on 7 years now.

Will Pope Benedict go down in history as Pope Benedict Arnold?  I believe most popes die on the job but for some reason Pope Benedict chose to retire which led to Pope Francis, which led to global warming alarm-ism getting fired up again.  Manmade global warming was on the ropes to such an extent that NOAA went back in history and changed temperature readings in order to remove the period of no warming that has occurred for around 18 years now.  How, you may ask, did NOAA do this?  NOAA recalculated past global temperatures by putting more emphasis on temperature readings taken on ocean water being taken in to cool ships' engines and putting less emphasis on ocean buoys and satellites specifically designed and calibrated to measure global temperatures.  That's like using Kim Kardashian's butt as a level because a champagne glass will sit on it instead of a tool designed for the job.

People, People Who Love Peepal

Are the most wonderful people in the world.

Ficus when I get angry.  Every murder has a bhodi.  I'm stretching word play to an extreme.

The Buddha is claimed to have attained enlightenment or supreme knowledge (bhodi) under a peepal tree  in 589 BC.  Perhaps, this is why the scientific name for the peepal tree is Ficus religiosa.  I know I'll never attain bhodi, but I would at least like to know what happened to the ficus tree that Obama planted in New Delhi in January.  A Google search on "Obama's ficus tree" doesn't produce a single follow-up article on whether the tree lost its leaves and died right after Obama planted it or just lost its leaves in preparation for new buds.  The only relevant article displayed in the Google search after February - stories on the ficus "death" - is my blog posting in March! Note the following excerpt from a CBS News article in February:

"It's a seasonal phenomenon," B.C Katiyar, a top regional government horticulturist, said Thursday, after he and other officials visited the tree and pronounced it in good health. "It will send out shoots within the next 10 days."

Why hasn't there been any updates on the tree?  Inquiring minds, and mine, want to know.  How about a little bhodi news media?

The conspiracy theorist that I am says that little ficus is deader than the wood in James Madison's casket.  After all, what hasn't Obama killed?  When the world's policeman and moral leader goes into hiding, the thugs take over from  Baltimore to the Ukraine.

The NYT can spend resources on Marco Rubio's 4 traffic violations in 20 years (2 were dropped), but they can't follow up on their Dear Leader's ficus?

You might find it silly that I care about a ficus tree in India when there are so many bigger stories like Caitlin Jenner, black white women, deflated footballs, Rubio's driving record, and Ben Carson's stance on gays, but I'm trying to make the case that Obama is the spawn of Satan.  If that SOB can kill a healthy tree in eight days, that ain't natural.  And wouldn't it be delicious for the spawn of Satan to kill a tree with "religiosa" in its name?

Tilting at Windmills

One definition of tilt is "to rush at or charge", as in a joust between two knights.  Tilting at windmills is an idiom derived from the novel Don Quixote.  Don Quixote was insane.  He thought himself  a chivalrous knight and at one point in the novel was going to battle 30 to 40 ferocious giants.  The giants were actually windmills.  Tilting at windmills means to attack imaginary enemies.  We live in a world where insane leaders, thinking themselves noble and chivalrous, fight an imaginary enemy with windmills.  One hundred years from now there could be the idiom Tilting at climate change which will mean imbeciles that destroyed a culture battling an imaginary carbon dragon.

We have a de facto Muslim and socialist/statist in the White House and a Gaia(ist) and socialist in the Vatican.  Barack Obama favors Islam over Christianity and big government over liberty.  Pope Francis is an anti-capitalist and favors governments controlling wealth and equitably distributing it.  The Pope also personifies the earth:

“ [She] is protesting for the wrong that we are doing to her, because of the irresponsible use and abuse of the goods that God has placed on her. We have grown up thinking that we were her owners and dominators, authorised to loot her. The violence that exists in the human heart, wounded by sin, is also manifest in the symptoms of illness that we see in the Earth, the water, the air and in living things.”

The above paragraph is an extract from the draft encyclical the Pope is to present shortly calling for the world to take manmade climate change seriously and to take immediate steps to control carbon dioxide emissions.  The words sound more like the writing of a planet worshiper, a follower of Gaia theory, than the words of a devout Catholic.  Is extracting the fossil fuels, that God made, from the earth "looting" the planet.  The Pope is essentially saying that Man is raping a feminine Earth, and not just any man but western, capitalist white men.  With all the crap that's blamed on white men, it's no wonder that Bruce Jenner wanted to become Caitlin.

The manifest symptoms of illness in the environment the Pope sees are not caused by capitalism.  Actually, some of the most polluted areas on the planet are in Russia, China, India, the Middle East, Africa, former Soviet bloc countries, and South America.  And the cleanest places on the planet are in free, modern industrialized countries that practice the least encumbered capitalism - America, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, Japan.  Pope Francis should discern that fact, but it's hard for him to see anything through that tiny slit of his helmet he's donned to go fight an imaginary dragon.

Obama Puts the Boo in Giga

It's scary how incompetent and malevolent Barack Obama is.  From Obama's first day in office to July 2013, 15,000 megawatts of coal-fired electricity had been lost.  Fifteen thousand megawatts is the same as 15 gigawatts (pronounced jig-uh-wots), or 15 billion watts.  From Obama's first day in office to May 2012,  The Department of the Interior had approved solar, geothermal and wind projects totaling 6,587 megawatts of electricity generation.  So, even if all the approved "green energy" projects were built and online, there would be a net loss of 8,413 megawatts due to the loss of coal-fired power plants being regulated out of existence.  When Obama stated that energy costs will necessarily skyrocket under his administration, he was telling the truth.  Will wonders never cease!

Iran and North Korea can stop working on nukes to cripple America's electrical grid.  The Democrats have already struck the grid with an EMP.  An Ebony Metrosexual Pussy.

Complementary Miracles

News stories about science being on the verge of defeating old age and death have been on Drudge and other web sites lately.  One headline claimed 1,000 year lifetimes.  One article was about scientists having found a gene that could possibly allow human cells to renew themselves through perfect (without errors) DNA replication for virtually forever.

The trouble with living forever is that progressives might find an appreciation for the second amendment and shoot your ass.  Do you really think they're going to tolerate you exhaling an interminable amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?

But, do not fear because warp drive is here.  NASA, it seems, has serendipitously  stumbled upon faster-than-light travel.  While working on an electromagnetic drive rocket engine, faster than light speeds have been detected.  If these preliminary results are true, then travel to earth-like exoplanets in other stellar systems would become a possibility.

If either of the above stories about living for 1,000 years or NASA discovering a warp drive engine turn out to be true, then I'll eat Peanut the turtle who is claimed to have been disfigured during its growth by a coke ring.

"Now, now Peanut.  I'm not going to eat you.  I'm going to kiss you right after I  hug some polar bears."

Peeks Into the Future

A peek into the future at the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner sees Obama joking it up:

Some people think my right-hand man, Joe Biden, is uncouth, but he has been a great VP.  I sent him to China to get an agreement on climate change and he came back with the Chinese having promised to stop cooking with dung. But, he's not satisfied with that, he wants them to also promise to stop cooking with Chang, Chen, and Lijuan.

Joe never stops working hard to employ minorities.  Just the other day he went to see our Nationals play the Atlanta Braves and he told Atlanta's manager, Fredi Gonzalez, that the team should rehire Chief  Noc-A-Homa.  Fredi told Joe that Chief Noc-A-Homa wasn't really a chief and Noc-A-Homa wasn't really his name.  Joe said,  "Forget it.  I'll ask the Nationals to hire him because he sounds like someone who should be working in Washington."

Speaking of Indians, Elizabeth Warren asked me to endorse her as the Democratic nominee for president.  I told her I would sleep on it.  She thought about it a couple of seconds and replied, "Never mind.  I remember what happened to the last people you slept on."

Last year about this time, the mayor of Baltimore was receiving a lot of grief from Middle America for saying she would give rioters the "space to destroy".  What a bunch of hypocrites!  Don't they remember giving me the space of four years to destroy?

Russian Roulette

Fridays on Special Report hosted by Bret Baier, FNC political analysts bet their chips on either the roulette of possible presidential candidates for the Republican party or Democrat party.  So far, betting on the Democrat party roulette has been meager.  Only Hillary Clinton has announced and no one knows if she'll be contested by other Democrats.  But, here's my Russian roulette prognostication:

Hillary has announced and chosen a campaign logo.

When asked, most people say the logo is a sign giving direction to a hospital.  But, Elizabeth Warren knows exactly what it is:  Hillary is mocking her claim to Cherokee ancestry and telling the far left that she, Hillary,  is to the left of her.

Elizabeth Warren enters the race with her logo and a motto.

Elizabeth Puts Hillary In A Quiver! 

Hillary is infuriated by Elizabeth's mocking and the first time the two cross paths in Iowa they become locked in a physical tussle.

Hillary bites Liz in the ass.

Liz flattens Hill's nose with a solid punch.

Bill steps into the melee trying to stop the fight and receives a head injury.

The fight is stopped and everything settles down for the most part in the Democrat presidential campaign until Michelle Obama enters the race and mocks both Hill and Liz.

Michelle!  She'll Send Hillary Flying, Which Is All Hillary Did As Secretary of State, And Kick Warren's Butt.

Democrats Turn to Cannibalism

The mayor [Bill de Blasio] also suggested that Clinton indeed is a candidate of yesterday. She’s “a candidate who has not been in the public eye in this sense for almost eight years, and we’re still beginning to hear what she stands for,” he said. “It’s normal to want to hear more.”

A Clinton source scoffed: “He’s known her for, like, 20 years! He doesn’t know what her philosophy of government is?”

Bill de Blasio refused to endorse Hillary Clinton during a recent interview and the Clinton camp is furious.

Adding to the bloodshed coming from the Left, Hillary Clinton mocked Harry Reid saying, "I haven't believed a story concerning men and rubber since Bill told me he got me pregnant because of a bad condom."

When Hillary is 45

You're going to tire of responding to friends' and neighbors' remarks and questions such as:

My God, man!  You used to be such a neat freak.  Now, you look like Willie Nelsen.

You know the EPA hasn't completely banned showering?

It would be healthier for both of you if you did throw the baby out with the bath water.

We missed you in the bomb shelter last night.

Stop repeatedly responding to such remarks and buy the one T that "says it all" with finality.

Buy your "I Stopped Giving A Shit" T today and tell everyone that you're so tuned out that you won't even exert the energy to spell it out.
