the sky is still falling

But what to worry about? Iranian nukes? Nah, that's just some racket cooked up by the Christian fundamentalist Bush and his Zionist buddies to give Halliburton a pretext to take over the Persian carpet industry. Worrying about nukes is so '80s. Back then it was just crazies like Reagan and Thatcher who had nukes, so you can understand why everyone was terrified. But now Kim Jong-Il and the ayatollahs have them, so we're all sophisticated and relaxed about it, like the French hearing that their president's acquired a couple more mistresses.

So what should we worry about? How about - stop me if you've heard this one before - "climate change"?

Every time I think the climate-change cult is about to peak, some "expert" ratchets up the insanity. I see that "scientists" are now proposing "to help wildlife relocate to places where they are not currently found" in order to help them avoid "climate change" before it happens. That's bound to work out well, isn't it? Most animals can figure out this stuff for themselves: I dined yesterday evening with a bear that's taken a yen to my bird-feeder and installs herself on my porch every day around supper time. And, if the animals aren't smart enough to cope, isn't that - what's the word again? - evolution? You know, the thing all the rational-type people are supposed to believe in...

and if those don't scare you enough, how about velociraptors?
