Maggie's Farm

Shh-hh.  Are we alone?  I'm going to do something here that I'm not sure any blogger has ever done before, and, in fact, might actually be some kind of digital misdemeanor.  Or, at very least, break Blogger's Rule #1.

I thought I'd ask for your opinion on something before publishing the post.

Yes, yes, I know that sounds crazy, and perhaps it is.  They've recently changed my psychotropic drugs here at the sanitarium (also affectionately known as "Maggie's Farm" by the regulars in honor of the sweet ol' gal who runs the place), and I've increased my caffeine intake of late, so perhaps I've lost that delicate chemicular balance required to write a modern blog post.

All I know is that I had such good luck when I suckered that first sap into proofreading it (I wouldn't want to mention any names, but his initials are B.U.L.L.D.O.G.), that I thought I'd open it up to the Maggie's Valued Readers™ for further input before hitting the 'Publish' button.

It's about one of everybody's favorite subjects:

Global warmening!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd be posting my global warming opus soon, but I held off because I wanted to run it by a few people and make sure I was touching all the bases.  I mean to cover everything in this baby.

For example, Bulldog reminded me of Mt. Kilimanjaro, which was one of the first jump-off points ("The glaciers are melting!") for the AGW movement.  My article mentions the Thames freezing over in the early 1600's and he noted that the Hudson and Delaware rivers had also frozen over, and that reminded me of the Northwest Passage, another item on the AGW list that deserves to be shattered.

And, as many people will tell you, when it comes to shattering hopes and dreams, I'm just the guy for the job.

So, fellow (and fellowette) anti-AGW aficionados, what say ye?  Corrections, updates and additions are welcome.  Any pro-AGW dribble will be cited in a future post arguing for the return of 15th century insane asylums.
