Friends,
A nutter at NASA who’s not an alarmist at all is warning Mr. Obama that he only has four years to save the Earth from global warming. The Guardian apparently interviewed him via binoculars, reading his statement from the sandwich board he was sporting while stomping down the street. He was also heard to say, “The end is nigh! That means really near!”
So once again we’re all doomed, but in a wonderful turn of events in this amazing year, our new president will fix it by asking us all to look into our hearts and reduce our gasses (which will be trouble for operators of taco trucks throughout this great land, but hey, si se puede!). Hooray for us!
Your pal,
bob
UPDATE: I’ve been listening to KCRW all afternoon, which is typical for a Sunday afternoon. They’ve been simulcasting the Inaugural Concert which just ended, but as soon as I get done posting the brain dead diatribe above, they launch into Michael Franti’s Obama Song. The chorus? “Si se puede, si se puede, si se puede…” I’m now officially creeped out. Thank you.
