Each new day brings us closer to calamity. Burning fossil fuels certainly produces its fair share of carbon dioxide which when released into the biosphere leads to global warming, but a Gaza fired rocket striking the promised land is likewise heating the planet up in a more immediate and dangerous fashion.
World War III could be just around the corner with the Middle East erupting into kaos with the ineffective and effite, feckless United States diplomats, headed by the horse faced, John F. Kerry, charging into failure.
Then there is the macho man of Russia, Tsar Vlad Putin, manning the trenches against the Ukrane, taking Crimea in much the same way Hitler marched into the Rhineland in 1938. Where is Neville Chamberland? Apparently, being channeled by our esteemed Commander in Chief, who would rather place meaningless sanctions on Russia's billionaires than actually do something.
I pray to the Almighty above that we find no new faults with the Obama administration since each new abomination brings another. Benghazi to the VA hospital scandal, the IRS criminality and the NSA snooping disclosures, all washed from the front pages of the friendly press by droves of illegals pouring over our porous southern border like rockets out of a Gaza preschool.
Thankfully, the loss of the Middle East to Iran and their partners is of no great strategic importance to the United States since we are now the world's leading producer of hydrocarbon based energy. It is serendipitious that $200 per barrel oil will not destroy our frail economy, but will devastate those of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Our pal Putin will do well as he is a net exporter of fosil fuels.
It is going to be a long winter and many will be wondering what they ever saw in Al Gore.
Global warming is not our most pressing problem, global waring is.
