the sky is falling

okay chicken little.

maybe the sky isn't falling.

but something is certainly falling from the sky.

as i type this from sunny florida the tv coverage of the great super bowl commercials of 1978 has been interrupted by visual images of washington d.c. under attack. 18 inches of snow in washington. 20 in baltimore.

sodom and gomorrah beat the point spread compared to these cities.

osama bin laden is ranting in his cave because he can't find out how to make it snow.

but d.c. has been brought to its knees by mother nature.

unless there is another explanation.

i don't want to go all biblical on you, but if noah built an ark to survive the sins of his time, don't you think that there has to be some punishment from above for the ineptitude in the house and senate?

the almighty may be known for patience and understanding. but if his (or her) health insurance premiums have been going up like mine have, you might want to buy a snow plow.

as republicans and democrats name call and have public food fights with less gravitas than the average kindergarten class you begin to understand why they call it recess when they are not in session.

i have a better chance of getting a tree cutting job on pandora than these clowns have of passing constructive legislation.

maybe the israelis and the iranians could provide counseling to the elephants and the donkeys on how to get along.

elections have failed to produce results.

so divine retribution is certainly a possibility.

after all, punishment with unbelievable cruelty is not unheard of.

you don't think reality tv is a coincidence, do you?

right.

like someone other than lucifer would have come up with jon and kate and jersey shore?

and now it is snowing in d.c. with more ferocity than christmas in wales.

not the first storm of the season.

this is the whitest season in washington history.

you have to think that barak obama gets some chuckle out of that.

if they knew what the weather was going to be the people would have elected bing crosby as president.

although a guy with a chicago winter background was not a bad choice.

not even phil the groundhog saw this one coming. it's a bit hard to convince people on global warming when they are building an igloo for spring.

but when aspen starts sending people to d.c. to explore snow importation plans you realize that something is amiss.

other areas have been effected.

but no place has suffered like washington d.c.

even scott brown has had to put clothes on to serve as senator.

predicting snow is more reliable than the brake system on a prius.

take the hint congress.

create jobs, fix social security, reform medicare, clean up the air, reduce taxes, and bring world peace.

or you're going to need a bigger shovel.
