Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice 505
efuzzyone writes "As an affect of global warming, the polar ice caps seem to be slowly receding, what do you do? The NYT reports it is a gold rush, 'the Arctic is undergoing nothing less than a great rush for virgin territory and natural resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars.' Also, 'polar thaw is also starting to unlock other treasures: lucrative shipping routes, perhaps even the storied Northwest Passage; new cruise ship destinations; and important commercial fisheries.'"

First they say "there is no such thing as global warming."
Then they say "there is no proof that there is global warming."
Now they say "there is no proof that global warming is bad."
And they say "look, global warming is good!"
Soon they'll say "there is no proof that God didn't make this happen."
Then they'll say "it's written right here in the book that this will happen."
Then they'll say "it's one more reason to believe. God works in strange and mysterious ways."
Then they'll say "of course Haliburton should get a no-bid contract to build levees around North America."
Then they'll say "of course all the blue states on the coasts should pay for their own levees, while paying to subsidize the farms of the red states."
Then they'll say "isn't global warming wonderful! Praise the Lord!"

The current President is not an idiot, as you are trying to infer. There's simply a great deal of latency when his words are relayed from Satan to Cheney to the brain-implant in his head. The dropped packets are due to all the coke.

This can't be right. George Bush wasn't even born then. How could there possibly have been hurricanes, or any other evil or dangerous thing?
Oh! I see: Halliburton Co., founded 1919. That explains it.

The only clues were that sometimes it uses the right words but not necessarily in the right order, needs constant recharging vacations and upon being told of the 2nd Tower being hit crashed and did nothing for several minutes.
Don't think that voting Democrat will help you as Robo- Hilary is having the final touches put on now.
