Post-Election Finger-Pointing + Climate Change Alarms

FRIDAY BL.A.H.*ging

* Bloggers Against Hypocrisy

In the last Special THU edition of my Whimsical WED blog, I mentioned that a member of my crack team of blog consultants had (strongly) suggested that my blogs had gotten out of control. I issued a mea culpa *, agreeing w/her assessment, & resolved to try to make my features pithier; also that maybe I should revert to a previous practice of saving politically-themed features for a separate post. We'll see what you think.
* I have a confession . . . my multi-lingual expertise may not be as extensive as I've led you to believe.

Tagline from Drudge Report (11/17):  "JESSE JACKSON: Obama should pardon Hillary . . . " [Wait . . . What? Is this an admission that HC is/was guilty of impeachable offenses?] *
* Why can you get instant apple-cinammon oatmeal but not peach-cinammon oatmeal? Inquiring minds want to know. **
** It may be a misnomer when I label my mind as "inquiring."

From Omaha World Herald (11/13):  "Here to watch election, Europeans point out flaws . . . " [Because, as any student of European history can tell you, Europeans have a rich tradition of successful elections.]

Also from OWH (11/11):  "Gore offers to work w/Trump on U.S. climate policy . . . " [I can neither confirm nor deny that DT has also received offers of help from Al Sharpton re:  race relations . . . Joy Behar re:  abortion rights . . . Alec Baldwin re: building bridges w/Hollywood . . . ]

Who Can We Blame?

It's been fascinating to watch & listen to the left side of the political spectrum try to affix the blame for the results of the presidential election. It seems to me that I remember when DT was asked if he would accept the results of the election. The assumption at the time, of course, was that he would lose. He refused to concede that point, & there was an outcry of outrage among both Republicans & Democrats. Hmmmm.

Also from OWH (11/13):  "Clinton blames FBI for hurting campaign in final days . . . " [Yes, it was the FBI that was responsible for the Clinton Foundation & pay-for-play revelations, Benghazi disaster, rigged Democratic primaries & convention, HC's policy positions, her lack of respect for the victim's of her spouse's sexual crimes . . . ]

Another tagline from Drudge (11/14):  "Enjoying Hollywood Doomsaying," via mrc/NewsBusters, originally posted 11/11 . . . [You should try to find this & read it yourself. The gist of the article involves Hollywood celebrities moaning over the racist, homophobic, poorly educated white Americans living between the East & West Coasts who voted for a Hitler-like candidate. How could they not vote for HC like their more enlightened brother & sisters in the Hollywood elite?
      I think the question they should be asking is, how come the Democrats' usual constituencies did NOT turn out & vote for HC?]

Also from OWH editorial page (11/16):  "Clinton bears responsibility. Hillary Clinton & much of her campaign staff now blame her defeat on FBI Director James Comey. Clearly, for them, the buck stops elsewhere . . . " [It's been pointed out that the election of DT was a repudiation of the last 8 years of our current POTUS. I would also say that it was a repudiation of the ethical character of the candidate who lost. What about the ethical character of the candidate who won? Yeah, you got me on that. As I've posted before, I woke up the next morning after Election Day feeling relieved about who lost; not necessarily rejoicing over who won.]

Global Climate Change

From Lincoln Journal Star (10/21):  "Mysterious 'Planet 9' might be causing solar system wobble . . . " [I can neither confirm nor deny that Al Gore is questioning whether our solar system wobble might, in fact, be due to Earth's global climate change.] *
* On behalf of those of us who still resent the fascist, globalist decision to reduce Pluto's ranking among our solar systems objects(?), I protest referring to another of our solar system's objects as "Planet 9." Who made that decision? Did you get to vote on that decision? I wasn't asked to vote on either decision!

Also from LJS (11/17):  "Pluto may hide slushy ocean at its cold heart. Evidence is mounting for an ocean at Pluto, buried beneath its frozen heart. Scientists said WED that Pluto may have rolled over on its axis eons ago, the result of tidal forces w/jumbo moon Charon. The extra weight of an underground sea is the most likely explanation, they said."  [What? "They" don't attribute this to global climate change on Pluto?] *
* I can neither confirm nor deny that Al Gore is calling for an investigation into what he calls GACTBGCC. **
** Global Axis Change Triggered by Global Climate Change ***
*** G.O.M.E.R. **** Alert:  Is it right to shame Charon by referring to it as a "jumbo" moon?
