I wonder how many people are going to start dismissing global warming because it snowed in NOLA.
OH, yeah, they'll say, "But hte earth's gone through ice ages before, and really, how long have we had good weather data? It's nothing."
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Fortunately, the new people in charge don't seem to be bullshitty about such things.
I don't know how you folks with little ones resist the urge to scream, sometimes. All I have is my niece and nephew, and Grace and Noah for wee ones who I love to pieces, and when I let myself think about the steaming pile of shit they're inheriting, my rage is not unlike the sun in its nuclear hot fury.

I don't like it when I find out that I may have to do even more Christmas shopping on top of all the Christmas shopping I haven't done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I try to maintain the historical perspective that my children were not born into the Black Plague, slavery or a debtor's prison.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find my rage is tempered by the same irrational optimism that led to me to have kids in the first place.

That third one may be making a come back.
Speaking of rage, I get rageful when I think about how much slavery there still is in the world.

Global warming produces fucked up weather not necessarily just hot weather, no?
I heard someone say it ought to be called "global weirding."
