I hope you all know that I’m not exactly a prude, and that generally I appreciate Stephen’s humor, even when it involves stating the truth, but today in Facebook he’s gone too far, updating his mood, thusly:
Stephen Green watches the snow melt and laughs and laughs and laughs. 1h ago
You know, I think we’ve all been there at one time or another, feeling that spring is just taking too much time in arriving, anxious to shed the boots and the winter clothes. But what about the children?
Malnourished snow child, Warwickshire, England
feels bitter at the lack of federal intervention
Has the man no pity?
Here in Vermont, global warming is extending the range of creatures not indigenous to the state, with potentially catastrophic consequences for the ecosystem. Yesterday at Wal-Mart, I sighted a family of Mexican-Americans. Normally one doesn’t make such sightings until summer is upon us. Cinco de Mayo will be here in three weeks, and there will still be snow at the higher elevations. And although I don’t find Adirondack chairs particularly comfortable, it will cause a terrible blow to Scenic New Englandiness when they are replaced with hammocks. Next thing you know, people will be adding limes to their beer.
Does Stephen care, or is he so wrapped up in anticipating the advent of warmer weather that he’s overlooking the consequences?
Well this just pisses me off.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT TEH DESSICATED SNOCHILDREN!!!
*sobs heavily*
Hate to say it, but I don’t think that’s all malnutrition on that snowchild. I think that might be one of them March of Dimes snowbabies.
His carrot is backwards.
despite him being white and all, I, as a Typical White Person, am a little nervous… is that normal?
Hey Green…Auburn Sucks!
No doubt the snowman harbors anti-trade, anti-immigrant sentiments and clings to its icy religion, even as the US failure to ratify Kyoto is the snowman’s real problem.
What federal intervention in Warwickshire, England?
It really looks more like a melting Great Pyrenees dog or American Eskimo maybe. Perhaps even a Giant Poodle. Certainly not a kid.
Speaking of unfortunate fundraising brochure gaffes, I saw at Hot Air what the TWP selection committee picked out to sit behind Obama.
Is he trying to appeal to the embittered bad-sweater, supercuts and heavy squirrel sauces
clan? Because maybe they can get some lasik pie.
The picture from HA.
Since Allah foils hotlinking, and I’m lazy, just look at the front page of Hot Air, it’s there.
Snowists, every one of you.
I mean, I did not know that England had a federal government. I thought they had a paliamentary system under a constitutional monarchy.
Or perhaps I am over-analysing the whole thing. Must be the cough syrup and the mucinex.
Mikey, federal intervention is called for because, like everything else going wrong in the world, it’s America’s fault.
That’s an AP caption, guys.
That’s an AP caption?
I was just going to say how delicious was your sense of humor! I spend a good chunk of this early afternoon writing a blog post about how calling economically disadvantaged small town midwesterners “bitter” was insulting. So I had that Obama context to the word.
I just watched Lou Dobbs and they were having a roundtable about to what degree the government will bail out the mortgage lenders and borrowers. The Obamaite on the panel says that Baracky will demand that shareholders have a say in CEO salaries. Do Dems trot this out every election cycle? I think movie ticket buyers should have a say in movie star salaries too. The Leftists do not understand one single solitary freakin thing about economics.
I was kidding again, Synova. But it’s about as accurate as an AP caption. Or a Reuters one.
Oh. I feel better about that. I wasn’t hallucinating…so far as I know…
Friggin snow-kids… if ya aint gonna keep em, stop breedin em.
