Temperature's Rising, It Isn't Surprising

By Sniffles

Goodness gracious, it's hot. We cats are all lolling about, napping, thankful that our owners can afford air conditioning. And we're flashing back to those dark days after Hurricane Katrina hit South Florida, when we had no power for days. We're hoping that now that we live in Northern Virginia, we'll get no Katrinas here.

But although physically we're in a torpor, our brains are active. And we're wondering something.

Why, when Washington gets hit with two feet of snow in February, climate-change deniers can build an igloo on the Capitol grounds, stick an "Al Gore Lives Here" sign on it and declare that the blizzard is proof that global warming is a hoax? But when we have a mid-August-ish, sustained heat blast in early June, no one on the left is screaming about climate change?

We cats think that the five people who have died in this unforgiving weather might have a thing or two to say about that.

President Gore, we await your statement. Or perhaps Anthony Weiner could say something — since he's one Democrat who's been proven to have, um, balls.
