You Heard It Here First!

You may remember that back at the beginning of the year, I made a few pretty wacky predictions. Looking back over that post, I am actually surprised that one or two have been right on the money. Okay, not really, but this one was somewhere in the vicinity:

13.

Hurricane season will start off with a bang in early June, prompting Al Gore to say "I told you so." Bill Clinton will come out of retirement to lead Gore's 2008 presidential campaign. The entire former Clinton administration will reunite to [blame] Presidential Bush and Karl Rove for any and all hurricane damage, caused of course by the secret Republican Weather Control Machine.

I know, I know, we aren't supposed to mention the secret weather control machine. But according to this AP story you can see I was on the right track:

As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former President Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.

"It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming," Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. "It's a serious problem. It's going to lead to more hurricanes."

Sometimes I amaze myself.

Blogging will be light over the next few days, as I will be tied up in client meetings most of the week. (It's that "OBSCENE PROFITS" thing my fellow LST bloggers keep talking about.)

In the meantime, enjoy the Top Ten list from last night's Late Show with David Letterman:

New Rash of Global Warming

Global warming is once again the culprit, according to the latest scientific studies:

Another reason to worry about global warming: more and itchier poison ivy.

The noxious vine grows faster and bigger as carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rise, researchers reported on Monday.

And a carbon dioxide-driven vine produces more of its rash-causing chemical, urushiol, concluded experiments conducted in a forest at Duke University where scientists increased carbon dioxide levels to those expected in 2050.

So if anyone survives the increased storms and devastating floods to be caused by global warming, they better beware — poison ivy is out to get us all!
