Weather Rant or what else is new?
As I sit here writing this post, I look like a character out of Dickens. I have never been so damned cold. I have several layers of clothes and wish I had fingerless gloves. The temperature is twenty-five freaking degrees below normal for this time of year. I have lost feeling in my index finger, and it is one of two that I use to compose. Now I know what one hand clapping means. Someone needs to do something about all of this weather stuff.
Can’t we get Washington to launch some kind of initiative to warm things up a bit? Sure would be a better time spent than arguing about stupid stuff like the budget.Of course, we all know if Washington gets involved the temps will go lower. The sad thing about the weather is everyone complains, and no one does anything about it. We also don’t have any single source to blame.
I know we could have the Executive Branch come up with a plan we would call Obama Weather. It would guarantee every home in the US would have weather coverage. If you fail to sign up for our weather coverage, you will be fined on your next Tax return. The beauty of this plan, we would have someone to blame if the weather is bad. Right now, there is no one to blame but nature.
Today’s JohnKu (a term coined by Words4jp) is about the government. Hope you like it.

The Government sits,
Waiting for the crisis to pass . . .
Or gets up and runs.

Hah! Yes. I thinking though that environmentalists would use this weather as a basis of trying to raise awareness of global warming. And aren’t we partially to blame for that? I honestly do not know – I sit in all my fleeces and freeze to bits. 😏

I still can’t figure how global warming leads to colder weather. Maybe some day some one will explain it to me. Have a wonderful weekend,

Here’s my plan for government to combat the cold: We cut the top off Capitol Hill and have the politicians give speeches. Tell them it’s a surprise election year and none of them are running unopposed. Just let that hot air waft into the atmosphere. The world might smell a little like BS, but we’ll get through the winter.

I think you may be on to something. To raise the temperature a little we also ask them to solve an issue.

Through a few lobbyists in there too. That way they stay sharp and hungry.

I’m sure there is someone somewhere blaming Obama for the weather 😉 I’m just (relieved) glad it’s Friday. It’s been a hell of a week.

Aw. You need to kick back and relax. Yes, Obama is responsible for the weather. (you heard it here first)

Love the post. It brings to mind a book called Weather Wars by Leonaard Leokum that paints a pretty horrific picture of what can happen when people take over the weather. The book is out of print now but thank you for bringing back an awesome memor.y. 😀

I am surprised to hear it is so cold where you are John. It sounded like it was pretty warm a week or two back. London is sunny and mild. I hope the cold doesn’t set your writing back too much.

We are having weather that is 25 degrees below normal. Doesn’t affect my writing but cuts into the margaritas.
