The sad state of our winter

Comparing the view from my office window last year and this year

This winter just isn’t right.

I should be avoiding shovelling the driveway right now, putting the Old Senator into his winter get-up for walks, and leaving work early to go skiing.

Instead we’ve got our normal nineteen hours of dark, but this year it’s unmitigated by the moon shining off the pretty white snow. Instead we&#8217ve got slushy streets, nasty streets that occasionally freeze over into unwalkable ice rinks by morning. Instead we’ve got dimwitted politicians who can’t wait to give away money for more damn oil exploration when that money could be going to tax breaks to encourage people to buy something besides 10 mpg SUVs. (Oops. Drifting.)

Please think snowy thoughts for us.

Gee, too bad global warming is just a lie dreamed up by zealous environmentalists, 'cause now we have to try to find some other way to explain this! I sure we could call Prez Shrub's office and ask for the official statement. It must be partially, if not all, the Democrats' fault.
(in case I didn't convey my tone effectively, please read the above as if it were dripping in sarcasm--cuz it is!)
