It’s an election Tuesday! No…not in Washington or Seattle, but there are primaries in Colorado (where we might witness the return of former presidential and gubernatorial fringe candidate Tom Tancredo), Maryland, New York (federal offices only), Oklahoma, and Utah. And there are runoff races in Mississippi and South Carolina. It could be entertaining…one never knows when the next “Cantor” will happen. Please join us Tuesday night for an evening of electoral politics over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
We meet this and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. The starting time is 8:00 pm, but some folks show up before that for dinner and east coast returns.
Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out another Washington state DL over the next week. They’re everywhere! The Tri-Cities chapter also meets this and every Tuesday night. On Wednesday, the Bellingham and Burien chapters meet. And on Thursday, the Woodinville chapter meets.
With 207 chapters of Living Liberally, including eighteen in Washington state, four in Oregon, and three more in Idaho, chances are excellent there’s a chapter meeting somewhere near you.
Cantor should be a verb. Like Bork or Bobbitt.
What Climate Change Looks Like on Your Front Porch
So here we have a story about some hand wringing going on between three big money guys, Mike Bloomberg, Tom Steyer and big time Bush bundler Hank Paulson – who our local local village idiot BUTThole troll once called a “lefty”.. *Rolls Eyes*
Our trolls will love this especially head up his butt Dr. Bob.
So these big money guys think the oncoming environmental catastrophe is a big deal. And not only them but the Re-Insurance industry thinks its significant as well – 11 billion dollars more in property losses over the average for the last decade speaks LOUDLY to them.
So what are the predictions from these big money guys:
1) Property will be destroyed – 66 to 100 billion dollars worth underwater by mid century and a 1 in 20 chance of 701 billion worth of coastal property by the end of the century.
Oh no big deal says our trolls – that’s barely the cost of a war of choice in Iraq.. Yawwwwn.. If movie stars and other coastal dwellers are worried they can sell early to a greater fool and pitch a tent on the NEW waterfront! Problem solved..
2) Farmland will get spoiled.. Lower crop yeilds between 10 – 20 percent at mid century. By 2100 50-70 percent of annual crops will be at risk..
Damn! Says our trolls.. Ever see the typical American? They could use a diet.. Our trolls are always bragging about how much money they make – they’ll gorge themselves just fine and maybe grumble about the higher food prices..
3) People will become less productive. Rising temperatures and humidity will put a cramp in a lot of workers’ style.
This is not a concern to our trolls. Productivity means nothing to them. The wages of workers and productivity ceased to have a positive correlation way back in 1970.. The solution to this “problem” is simple to the braindead troll mentality.
Just cut the wages of the workers.. They don’t wanna produce – don’t pay ’em!
That has always worked for the klownservative troll! They love that one best of all!
3) Finally Energy demand will shoot up. Higher temps mean more air conditioning – equivalent of 200 more coal plants!
Wow it’s gonna be hot out there. Damn just build the coal plants already! This climate change stuff is all BS to our kraphead trolls anyway.. And if you’re a plant-huggin’ bleedin’ heart like Dr. Bob just put up some solar panels..
Elon Musk to the rescue! In Upstate NY no less!
So much for that big money hand-wringing..
@2 Number Three is likely a trade-off. As winter temperatures rise, particularly in regions like the upper Midwest, the increased use of air conditioning in the summers may be balanced by a drop in consumption of fossil fuels for winter heating. This would also apply in more temperate areas to users of heat pump/furnace “hybrid” heating systems. Most of those cut over to the furnace when the outside temperature drops below 38 degrees because the heat pump loses efficiency below that.
On the other hand, they’re probably underestimating the property losses due to rising sea level. F’rinstance, Miami is likely to become uninhabitable quite some time before it’s submerged, when the water table in south Florida goes salty.
On the other hand, they’re underestimating the
Fuck da police:

The police is totally out of control in this country.. This miserable drug war has to STOP now. For what purpose is this atrocity? The asset seizing scam? Or is it all “training” for even more obnoxious repression on the horizon?
Unfreakingbelievable..
Wow moron@4.
Screen scrape HA and you’ll see this was covered weeks ago. Well you are always late to the game.
Meanwhile boko haram loving Thom Fartmann, hero of Da Perfessa of the Friday Night Comix gets it wrong again… http://newsbusters.org/blogs/j.....ention-sto Sooooooooo will we see this entry on Friday Night? Of Course… so factually wrong it’s Friday Night Comix material!
You remember Da Perfesa’s Hero Thom Fartmann right? http://horsesass.org/friday-ni.....nt-1261037
Did y’all discuss the slow moving Obummer sadministration over the kidnapping of an American citizen by Hamas peeps? http://www.truthrevolt.org/isr.....f-stars-wh. The mother thanked the UN for condemning the kidnapping of schoolchildren while Obummer sez nuthin! Wow!
Butt remember clueless crazed cretins are proud of their two term preznit. Soooooo what is happening to Sgt Tahmooressi sitting in a Mexican jail for months? At least Bill O’Reilly called for a Mexican boycott until Tahmooressi is freed. Nuthing from Obummer on that too. Butt let’s go golfing!
And you wonder why only the hard core DUMMOCRETINS are left jock strapping this Obummer!
Now that the Nigerian President has stated they will probably never find those 200+ kidnapped Christian and Muslim girls where is the Thom Fartmann video comparing boko haram to American DUMMOCRETINS who love abortion? Those poor Nigerian girls will never see the light of freedom again like aborted babies will never see the light of day free from the womb.
Of course that will never be broadcast because Thomm Fartmann is a moron! That’s why he makes the Friday Night Comix! Moronic Comedy at it’s Best!
One last thing before going onto the customer site… If HA DUMMOCRETINS would read the foreign press you’d finally comprehend why the American press is revisiting the Cheneys’, Boltons’ and Wolfkowitz’ much to the chagrin of Media Morons and the Daily Kooks.
The foreign press has realized all that hopey and changey stuff isn’t working out to their national best interests. In fact it seems they are becoming really worried. Ukraine isn’t that far away. Obummer gave up a missile defense system for Poland and Czech Republic to appease Putin and Medvedev. Obumer told the world (and Putin) if he won a second term he’d have more flexibility to be a world wimp. Obummer and his NSA was caught monitoring the German Chancellor’s cell phone.
Remember this John Effin Kerry quote? “You know, education, if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” Isn’t Obummer sending Kerry to Iraq? Yep!
Bush (the cowboy – remember that horse manure) did have their backs while Obummer claims one thing and dithers. Didn’t Obummer leave Iraq because the soldiers would not have immunity? Well it’s been learned the 300 “advisors” won’t have immunity. So what has changed since 2011? Apparently Al Qaeda wasn’t “decimated”. Apparently Obummer’s 2012 televised debate about Al Qaeda was a big lie. Remember Obummer stopped using the War on Terror because it’s just an overseas contingency operation!
Maybe the American press is listening to the foreign counterparts over the spread of Al Qaeda and ISIS and how Obummer’s Iraq pull out (early withdrawal – another DUMMOCRETIN trait) is affected their future lives. They know just past the Mediterranean Sea is Africa and the Middle East. It’s in their back yard. And since ISIS has announced there will be future American attacks well the Europeans understand more subway and bus bombings could be in their future too.
So much for the policy of appeasement! Can you say Neville Chamberlain redux? Neville Chamberlain redux!
