No doubt thanks in large measure to the whinging of the global warming climate change true believers, now entire countries want the United States to pay them boatloads of money to compensate them for ... the weather.

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Actually been going on a long time.  The whole thing is watermelon.....green on the outside....red in the middle.
Global warming/climate change is nothing but a grand wealth redistribution scheme.

Sure thing.  Not a problem.

Just show us what your country has lost due exclusively to weather that we created. Make sure that you are not trying to slip in desertification caused by over-grazing or non-rotational crop farming or lack of water retention practices or over population beyond what your crappy subsistence farming using any of the methods listed above have created.

What we caused directly we ought to pay compensation for.

But we are not inclined to cover up your avarice and lack of foresight and stupidity.

Give us a call when you have your list together.

stay safe.

" . . . a grotesque line-up of ill-mannered self-pitying, caterwauling freeloaders banging their tin cups on the pavement demanding handouts . . . "




(Originally written about Democratic Party supporters by Nicholas von Hoffman, it seems to be a very apropos description of various turd world dungheap nations as well.)

The concept of "robber barons" made me think of "robber peons."

Make them pony up for expensive studies of their climate, and then maybe we'll "review them".

By way of analogy, my landlord buddy has a $25 application fee, applicable to the security deposit or first month's rent, nonrefundable to anyone who comes back as a felon or with a eviction on their record that they didn't disclose on the application.

You would not believe how much of the riff-raff is kept at bay by this. Or better, erupts with outrage when they find out the policy.   =D

"The whole thing is watermelon.....green on the outside....red in the middle."  I'm stealing that....with your permission of course.

I'm sure you're welcome to do so as it's not his original phrasing, either. (Not to disparage JJ, it's just old. I believe Mark Steyn likes to use it. It's not his either.)
