Snow falls on Baghdad for first time in memory
“It is the first time we’ve seen snow in Baghdad,” said 60-year-old Hassan Zahar. “We’ve seen sleet before, but never snow. I looked at the faces of all the people, they were astonished,” he said.
Will somebody please tell these Iraqis it's a bad sign and Global Warming?



That's right. All it takes is a half-drunk, dumb prole like Pinkie to come up with an explanation like the one that follows:
For years now, there's been a war raging in Iraq. An illegal one at that. We're talking lots of gunfire, bombings, fires, more gunfire, more bombings, just lots and lots of smoke billowing and rising from the scorching arid desert that was once one of our prized world treasures.
All that smoke wafted upward and hung over Iraq, blotting out the sun and thereby lowering the temperatures to such an extent that they now have snow.
If this keeps up, in ten years the once brilliantly golden desert will be gone, and the wonderful wadis will be flooded!
What more proof do you need now that Climate Change (let's hear no more of this "Global Warming" stuff) is not only MAN-MADE, but BUSH'S FAULT?

All that smoke wafted upward and hung over Iraq, blotting out the sun and thereby lowering the temperatures to such an extent that they now have snow.Pinkie, this explains everything! We must send this logical explanation to the masses via CNN, PMSNBC, the NYT, etc.
If I may add in one important detail: this is a war for OIL!!!! Imagine all the smoke and greenhouse gases there must be over Iraq from the exploding Halliburton oil wells!


The good news: While your logic is faulty, your final conclusion is exactly correct: IT IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT!




Clouds of Conspiracy

Maybe somebody will even blame it on a nefarious secret cloud-seeding conspiracy orchestrated by (insert favorite villain here).He should be fired. Like he can't even figure out that even if this were true, obviously Bush is the one behind it? Why, Bush is behind everything that's evil, except Cheney! (Or is it the other way around?)
Additionally, some of the blog commenters--ordinary, every day, half-drunk proles with no meaningful lives--just like Pinkie--agree with my suggestion that it's caused by the clouds of Bush's war.
Now if that's not consensus, then I don't know what is, but it's clear the debate is over!


I loved this wag's post:

2:52 pm You all have it wrong. The US Air Force has figured out how to use snow as a weapon. Clearly, the test went awry. Had this new weapon worked as designed, it would have dumped 5 or 6 inches of snow per hour, burying the city, and making it impassable. If an insurgent cannot get out the front door, you cannot go shoot someone……see how this all makes sense? Snow is now “suppressive fire”. It IS good to be Empire.
