Global warming, cod and ineptitude

Just a few years ago President Bush the 2nd called into question the validity of the Kyoto Protocol, and wanted to open the protected wilderness of Alaska to oil drilling. Now, in 2008, he has outlined a plan to reduce carbon emissions somewhat by 2025. You can almost hear the conversation that provided the impetus for change. In a modest fishing yacht off the coast of Kennebunkport, ME, father and son rule the world.

"The warmifying of these waters makes it so a good American can't hardly catch a decent North Atlantic cod."
"Yes son, it's a problem the Democrats created."
"There must be something somebody can do!"
"Maybe you can do something son."
"Maybe I can get Colin Powell to come back and head up a committefication; I'll give it a catchy name and have a fall guy in case things go ungood."
"Not a bad idea son; remember my Thousand Points of Light scheme?"
"Hmmm...Thousand Points of Less Global Warmnessification."
"I wish your brother were President."
"...Thousand Points of Conservationalismitude."
"Just stop."
"Well dang Daddy, I just want to catch me a cod and these warm waters are preventing it; I wonder what Al Gore is up to, he certainly could use the work, heh heh heh."
"Even that you owe to your brother, for Floridas "hanging chad" controversy."
"I really need to call Jeff and thank him again."
"It's Jeb son...please be quiet now."
"Rrrrrrr, rasemfrasemelizingly."

I'm laughing so hard--I wish I had a fraction of your brain power! I learn more from your blog than I do from the daily news.
