If you turn on the TV at all, you are getting flooded (pardon the pun) with news stories about all the rain in Texas, and the extreme flooding in Houston. Apparently, flooding isn't anything new in Texas, since Stevie Ray Vaughn saw fit to write a really good guitar jam about it, but I guess this time it's really over the top (pardon the pun again).
Climatological trends often feature extremes, drought then deluge. Remember, a few years ago, there was such a drought that Rick Perry resorted to praying for rain? It didn't do much for his credibility, and it didn't do much for the water table either.
Now it has gone quite completely the other way. Read on,
Here in America we generally come to the aid of people who have experienced natural disasters, and I'm sure it will happen this time, too. And we should. Also, here in America, every time there is a natural disaster, bogus charity scams pop up to take whatever money the gullible will send them. Be on the lookout for that. And there will be FEMA aid, etc., etc.
But, I gotta tell you all, that the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that all the flooding is happening in Texas, the home of hordes of RWNJs, was that I wanted to take every one of them, grab them by the ears and say,
"SO! STILL DON'T BELIEVE GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL??!!!"
And, we can't mention Texas without bringing in its most distinguished citizen. No, not Rick Perry, I already mentioned him. I'm talking about none other than Citizen Asshat himself, the most honorable Rep. Louie Gohmert!! He hasn't been saying much lately, so I figure he's preparing new material for one doozy of an idiotic speech. He must be musing about where all these floodwaters are coming from. Let's help Screwy Louie with this one, by posting a poll, thus crowdsourcing possible material for his next speech.
