No one better to have stuck in your head.  I'm actually listening to Cash as I type.

[Nihil Obstat]

What a load of crock!
 
 
Everyone knows that it is the incontrovertible, undeniable Scientific Consensus of academics, Hollywood stars and starlets, pop stars, rappers, Democratic politicians and op-ed writers, and everyone else Whose Opinion Matters that emissions of greenhouse gasses, overpopulation, and right-wing talk radio will cause the eminent imminent destruction of the Planet (and perhaps the entire universe!) unless we Act Now!  The only thing that stands between us and immanent imminent gruesome Death by Warming are the heroic efforts of left-wing politicians with massive increases in taxation and spending, and government population control and gun control.  Also, there is absolutely nothing behind the existence of the universe and human beings but pure blind, dumb  luck.
 
If you harbor even the slightest doubt about any of the above Undeniable Scientific Facts, or question the wisdom of our government (especially if it is led by Democrats), you are an ignorant, dumb, stoopid, un-evolved, Bible-thumpin’ knuckledraggin’ homophobic inbred malformed swamp-dwelling, Wal-Mart shopping, drooling backwoods Neanderthal idjit who must be immediately banned from public discourse and burned at the stake as a threat to Democracy and Progress, lest the whole world perish in fiery (entirely secular) apocalypse from Global Warming and hordes of crazed Right-wing Creationist Christians shooting up everyone with assault rifles.

FTFY. You are perfectly welcome.

I'm pretty optimistic about the global warming issue. Chances are we will blow each other off the face of the Earth before we have to worry about the hot hot heat killing our children.

(And no, I didn't bother to click on that link. I've got plenty of much better things to read than salon.com articles.)

 

Haha. Off topic, but I recently started following Salon on Twitter and RSS. I'm pretty open minded in terms of openness to ideas, but I've found them really annoying.
