Snow [Day / Job]

Obama emerges triumphantly from negotiations in Copenhagen having secured a 2 degree cap on world temperature.  Of course, this implies a sea level increase limit of seven to nine meters.  Having successfully commanded the tide to remain out, Obama and the United Nations have broken new ground in assuring climate status quo through international agreement.  (Oh, and several programs directed at the mass redistribution of wealth to non-democratic kleptocracies were also outlined in the lobby during intermission cocktails).

Enforcement hasn't been discussed yet, but we are confident that a "Weather Czar" will be appointed to gauge world temperature compliance and levy world GDP bonus clawbacks in the event the limit is breached by the planet.  Further, though the summit failed to fail to reach a non-binding consensus, it does provide the basis for hope that emissions targets will be re-aligned to newly developed targets for emissions targets.  John Kerry expressed confidence that new targets for targets would be realized sometime when it wasn't quite so cold outside, and pointed out that the appointment of a Czar and involvement of the EPA would eliminate the need for any legislative authorization to clawback world bonuses in any year where global temperatures exceeded the mandatory limit.  No word yet on how the clawbacks would be used, but speculation includes the Administration's new "polar bears saved or created" programs.

Unfortunately, Obama will be forced to leave the Global Warming Conference due to an imposing winter storm bearing down on the mid-atlantic and due to dump as much as twenty inches of snow in the nation's capitol, which may, in turn, delay the arrival in Washington, D.C. of the largest carbon footprinted transportation logistics infrastructure on the planet.  Obama will therefore be unable to attend the final vote on the motion that the next conference will be in the South of France in August.

YES!!!

Let's not lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas and the Holiday season. Whether you are a "believer" or not, this should be a time of joy and forgiveness and celebration and tolerance.

I'm going to spend a week trying to ignore the reckless and destructive path that we have taken ever since Bush decided to save the free market by abandoning free market principles... a cause for which Obama has embraced with both arms and a French Kiss.

I wish everyone here a joyous season, because it might be the last Xmas as we know it...
