‘Grave concern’ at Minnesota border as more Canadians stay home

This has been an abundant week of chickens coming home to roost stories.

First, this one about Minnesota border towns trying to take the hit from losing up to the 30% percent of their former Canadian traffic because they helped elect a racist megalomaniac. Granted, since they are protected by the rest of us, their electoral college votes didn’t do it, but you know damn good and well who they pulled the lever for.

In Alabama they are facing a combination of bad growing conditions and tariff/immigration trouble. I see videos of farmers in Alabama and Nebraska literally crying in public meetings hoping someone will help them from THE VERY CONDITIONS THEY VOTED TO CREATE! Foreign contracts are cancelled, tariffs are killing their supply of fertilizers and parts. Nah, suck it up. You wanted others to hurt, now share in it.

Antigovernment militia is targeting Oklahoma weather radars

When we lived in Oklahoma, the meteorologists were highly respected, competent, and a bit on the thrill-seeking side. I mean, one flew a helicopter between two funnel clouds on air for, um, reasons?

In short, it is a wild place in need of trained, serious professionals, and a lot of ground support.

So, in another sign the world is collapsing from stupidity, it appears that MAGAt terrorists are looking to destroy the infrastructure that brings that science onto our radios, TVs, computers and phones so lives can be saved in the moment.

Why? Something, something, weather machines? I dunno.

AND? I don’t care. Understanding the nuance of moron terrorists really isn’t my bag.

2012: The Year The World Will Not End – 13.7: Cosmos And Culture Blog : NPR

If you know some conspiracy theorist nutjobs – and, hey, don’t we all? – one of their big hangups is that the world is going to end in a couple years.

I believe this could happen myself. At least as long we keep letting these folks think their ideas have any merits. That way, the crazy multiplies until it and not any comet, aliens, sunburst or whatnot actually kills creation.

I also believe that the longer we keep letting Tea Baggers think they have a valid point of view, the closer this country comes to being a violent theocracy that re-institutes slavery but just for the “non-Christians”. That might be a conspiracy theory too but if you listen to those freaks, I think I’m not that far off.

Anyway, for the 2012 nuts, here’s some actual science and logic to counter their crazy. Odds are, though, that’s it’s too late for reasoning.

Updating our Political Dictionaries

The GOP would like you to believe that the following definitions explain how the world works:

“Treason” refers to Democrats criticizing a Republican administration during a war.

“Patriotism” refers to Republicans criticizing a Democratic administration during a war.

Then again these are the people who think anal sex isn’t the direct result of abstinence-only sex ed and that Sarah Palin is a genius. So, you know, take that all with a huge grain of salt.
