Size Matters

 

By Hubie and Bertie

Is it possible that the petulant brat Ron DeSantis and his MAGA minions will admit that climate change exists now? Hurricane Ian hit Florida's west coast today as such a monster, they probably should create a Category 6. How did it get so strong so fast?

"The Gulf of Mexico has been unseasonably warm this summer, according to the National Weather Service," Axios reports. "And climate change is heating the Caribbean by a little over 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) per century."

But DeSantis, unbelievably, already started whining about not talking to President Biden last night (a conversation which, actually, did take place). It reminds us of Republicans' bitching about "the border crisis" while taking no action: Trump's wall didn't get built, Mexico didn't pay for it — and as Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently pointed out, DeSantis used to be in Congress, and got nothing done on immigration while he was there. Always easier to complain about problems to score political points with angry people than to try to solve those problems, isn't it?

Somebody tell Ron it's not going to work with Ian. There's amazing video posted today that shows houses floating away in Naples and live sharks swimming up the street in Fort Myers. But just wait until the waters recede and people start realizing that they needed windstorm and flood insurance on top of their other coverage. They're in for a rude awakening — and it would be perfectly fine with us if they take it out on DeSantis at the polls in November. We cats PURR.
