Al Gore owes me some eggs

During global warming last week, my lawn grew a lot. Now global warming went away, and beecause it was so warm I didn't mow my lawn, which is now cold and damp. Curse you Al Gore! It's your fault my lawn is shaggy and wet on Easter and now we have to hide plastic eggs around the house. (Trust me, if you use real ones, pay careful attention to where you put them. That smell turned out NOT to be my tennis shoes after all, loving family.)

I wonder why global warming always goes away on the weekend? The Mariners haven't played because global warming really went away in Cleveland. And this brings me to a theory about how global warming goes away all the time.

Last week was opening day, of course. All those hot dogs have to be brought to stadiums around the country in refrigerated trucks, and when they opened the trucks to unload, global warming went away. Then everyone will want hot chocolate, and that will bring back global warming next week.

This "Republican Science Facts" moment brought to you by a $350,000 grant from the Apple Pie Foundation. Apple pie: if you disagree with us, you hate apple pie.

UPDATE: On a more serious note, The Seattle Times has several articles today about climate change, including the story of how proposed legislation in Olympia is pitting big business electricity users against utilities and one about the spread of a life-threatening fungus in the Northwest. Egads.
