This is why I like FR. My immediate reaction to the headline was some sarcastic take-off on modern man's responsibilty for "Martian warming." I go to the thread, and sure enough, virtually every poster has beat me to it!

If there is one thing that characterizes FR, it is a lively sense of humor. Contrast this with the deadly dull, deadly serious approach of the Hillary crowd. Anyone care to offer an explanation?

Sure. Running everyone else's life is serious business. Telling people how to live requires a sober demeanor (unless you are Ted Kennedy).

Paternalism is the notion that we (the serfs) are children, irresponsible and incapable of arranging our own lives and affairs. Only the Libs (Hillary spawn) are truly "grown up".

So they have to act super-grown-up. Their biggest enemy is satire; the horselaugh is the weapon they fear most.

Whaddya know. Well, here's a thought you haven't yet seen on this thread: If global warming is taking place naturally on Mars, maybe -- just maybe -- it's happening here too. If so, regardless of its cause, we should be giving some thought to how to deal with it. And all the comedians who've rubbished the very possibility that GW might be taking place might want to re-work their jokes.

We're far too smart for the Sen. B$$ch crowd.

Heck, that's why I hate FR - every poster beats me to it!
