Liberal Snot Think

Ralph: "Listen to this! Get something in your head, Alice! I'm the king here! Remember that. This house is my castle! I'm the king! Remember that! King, king, king! You are nothing, a peasant! This is my house, my castle! I'm the king!" Alice: "Big deal.  King of nothing"

“ COMMENTARY: Global Warming Will Save America from the Right...Eventually by Dave Lindorff Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining. Look at a map of the US. The future political map of America is likely to look a lot different, with much of the so-called “red” state region either gone or depopulated. ” This guy cracks me up at several levels.  First, Lindorff sounds like me - if I was given to climate change tarradiddle.  And, while Lindorff sees in the deaths of real Americans an opportunity to govern as liberals govern best (tax, cower, spend), unbridled and unabated, I see a big Cuba, but not so nicely governed.  “ The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Then there’s the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable. The agribusinesses and conservative farmers that have been growing corn and wheat may be able to stretch out this doomsday scenario by deep well drilling, but west of the Mississippi, the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced. Finally, in the Southwest, already parched and stiflingly hot, the rise in energy costs and the soaring temperatures will put an end to right-wing retirement communities like Phoenix, Tucson and Palm Springs. Already the Salton Sea is fading away and putting Palm Springs on notice that the good times are coming to an end. Another right-wing haven soon to be gone. ” Even if his fantasy had basis in fact, we survivors could taunt this beslubbering dewberry with - "Big deal Lindorff, you're King of nothing!"
