Yes, ITN-squared: “It’s The New Normal.” I love these guys! The “Great California Drought,” ITN2. Had nothing to do with the abandonment of Gov. Pat Brown’s plans for a growing California with more reservoirs and infrastructure programs. Nooo! Global warming is the villain. Historic forest fires destroying homes, closing freeways and rail lines, shutting down businesses and schools. Had nothing to do with forest management, like controlled burns, firebreaks, and such. Nooo! Global warming is the villain. Humbug!
Social services had an admonishment for derelict parents who fail to “raise” their children. “You can take the responsibility to raise your child or the government will do it for you.” In this case you can be good stewards of the land or mother nature will do it. Something’s missing in Sacramento and we can start with common sense. They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but in Governor Brown’s case, some cow gave it a solid hoof to the next pasture.
Every swinging liberal should have ITN2 tattooed in the web of his (her or its) right hand thumb and forefinger, so when they go glad-handing for votes you know what you can expect. But I AM holding my breath, not that I’m trying to reduce carbon pollution, they’ve blown away decades of that effort with these fires. No, I’m waiting for when the California economy collapses with the unfunded pension liabilities. How will they blame that on global warming?
