... the return of normal New England summer weather -- 72, cool, and half-foggy here on the Gulf of Maine. I pray for the good people of St. Louis, with all their hot sorrow in the middle of the continent.
I pray also that the voters of this federal, continental empire, will remember this typically troglodytic behavior -- http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/republicans-block-climate-change-hearing.php -- next election day.
A fun final point -- the benighted and/or wicked Congressman who says that they won't hold any hearings on this extreme weather is none other than Fred Upton (R-MI), uncle of noted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl and twitter courtesan Kate Upton -- how's that GQ cover and photo-shoot for family values, Fred?! [see here: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/651969/thumbs/o-KATE-UPTON-GQ-570.jpg?4 ]
In all seriousness, this is straight Ancien Regime stuff. Corporate hack legislator kicks the can down the road while his niece teases a Popsicle for the provocative titillation of all three Estates.... Meanwhile, thunder rumbles from the mountains, as we remember The Law, and the Prophets, and their truth: that, some day, justice must roll down like waters. Woe to the Uptons, and woe to Nineveh that makes such idols thereof!
