Deglaciation and Shell Human Rights Trial Mysteriously (?) Delayed Oh, and Did We Mention The Plague??? and More for Friday, June 5, 2009

We're in for it now. The glaciers will likely melt away and be gone by this time next year. So we hope you're enjoying a cool, wet summer, while you still can? Do you live in a region that depends on glaciers for fresh water? Don't count on it. We're betting on desalination...

Oh, and why does the case of human rights abuse against Shell keep mysteriously getting delayed??? Is a payoff or some other action involved here? When will we hear the truth about the hanging death of Ken Saro-Wiwa? And here's a topic we did not want to discuss...the fact that the wise'crackin' Latina remarks by Sotomayor just won't get away. They just keep sticking to her. We deeply wished to avoid this controversy, but (like the death of Saro-Wiwa, deglaciation and so on) some things just won't go away... Like...the plague! It just won't go away either! Yipes! Does anybody else recall The Black Death? Oh, that was a lot of fun....NOT!!!

Oh, and if that's not enough...we predict that by this time next year, we'll see the Atlantic Ocean move right up Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac and make a new shoreline right in front of the White House. Yes, its alarming. You should be alarmed. How do you like them apples, Mr. Obama?
