Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who flies around on private planes so as to tell larger numbers of people how they must live their lives in order to save the planet, wrote a column last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, D.C.
"In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers."In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, brought a delegation of visiting Eskimos home from the Justice Department for lunch at our house. They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington's C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate.
"Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy."

RFK Jr, a nasty dim bulb of colossal arrogance and bad judgment, is zero for two this week.
His role a a dangerous vaccine charlatan was also severely damaged as the Lancet retracted the seminal fake “vaccines cause autism” claims.
Why does anyone even pay attention to the drivel that comes out of liberals mouths?
Thar doesn’t sound true.
it takes a special kind of snow to make an igloo and very low temperatures.
Good catch. But then catching a Kennedy telling a lie is not all that difficult a task.
When are the Kennedys going to learn that their time has come and gone? They almost act as if they have to be 1960s liberal, there isn’t one traditional conservative in the bunch.
“But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.”
BS. I grew up in a colder climate than McLean, and we never had snow that lasted all winter.
Now that’s funny.
Algore makes Bernie Madoff look like a pick-pocket.
“What’s with the genes in the kennedy family?”
The genes were corrupted by the very thing that created the wealth - Scotch running during Prohibition. Papa Joe had no scrupples then and none of his progeny have scrupples. It is one filthy, evil, family.
What a snow job!
We need another library in DC to feature classic wingnuts of all time.
I heard an interesting analysis of people like this...they have an amount of money that they can push this type of legislation...and it doesnt affect them in the slightest. so they vote this way to feel better about themselves.
For once can a Kennedy talk about something without bringing up all their dead relatives? Sheesh, move on and live your own crooked life.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the hackers that let out the emails on the global warming scam. The wheels have come off that hoax and I’m not sure it would have without those emails. That’s ruined a bunch of socialist politicians plan for control and theft of tax dollars. But they’ll keep trying anyway...
“Mr. Kennedy was not available for comment.”
Unfortunately, in reality, too many Kennedys are available for comment. Fortunately, fewer and fewer Kennedys are available for comment. And. truly fortunately, fewer and fewer Kennedys are around to tell us about their Uncle President and Dad Attorney General.
There's a LOT of that kind of rationalization going on at DU lately, particularly with the snow storm that just buried the East Coast Commune known as our capitol.
“Snow” may have more than one meaning to RFK, Jr. and his ilk.
Honestly, I am so happy to be out from under this stupid media-driven fantasy of some ersatz lovely, gracious American aristocracy. Every magazine I'd pick up as a teen or a young woman had its obligatory Kennedy-worshiping article and photo spread. Always on TV, always running for office. Crimes and scandals and the overweening air of entitlement.
I remember my astonishment at the horror of Chappaquidick, how appalling was Teddy's avoidance of any responsibility. It was considered punishment enough that he lost the WH.
The legacy of the Kennedys should be the Death of Mary Jo Kopechne, why she died and how she died. Her death is the emblem of that wretched warren of buck-toothed, destructive, immoral, and vulgar human trash!
How do windmills perform in heavy snow?
Better yet, how do windmills perform after freezing rain has given them a nice, heavy coating of ice?
Junkies... is there anything they DON'T know???
