More from Rural America


According to the 30-ish guy at the local liquor store, global warming is a crock because, as everyone learned in school, rain runs into rivers and streams and eventually gets to the ocean, so duh, of course they'd rise.

So there you go. And we'd been so worried.

In case you're wondering how this came up during a purchase, it's because Mrs. 201k was carrying a can of hornet spray, and the guy commented on how many hornets there were this year, then volunteered that "they'll probably blame that on global warming, too".

So, congrats to Rush and all the others out there dutifully (and no doubt lucratively) spreading the gospel according to Exxon -- the message is getting out.

Though one wonders how long the success of the campaign will last, given that it's dwindled down to the point where it only tricks the people who don't know how rain works.

The power of denial is awesome.
 
It's not only a river in Egypt -- it runs into the ocean and makes the sea level rise.
