In that a little boat of Brits were a mile or two this way or that way in the Persian Gulf resulting in "egg on the face" of either Britain or Iran, and seeing as how it's so important, internationally, for a nation to maintain its integrity and dignity in the world of global public opinion, and despite Iran's nut-job president, Mahmoud Ahminejad, being under a lot of international pressure recently from America's nut-job president, George Bush, and seeing as how Bush's diplomacy strategy with his "enemies" is to never negotiate, ignore them, then bomb the shit outta them which makes our trading partners and potential adversaries, Russia and China, very nervous, and in that a nuclear warhead detonated over the part of country in which I reside (which is desert like most of the middle east that Bush finds so engaging for some strange reason) melts the sands into a "green glass" named Trinitite in honor of the site, Trinity, where the first such detonation occurred over sixty years ago in the New Mexican desert just miles up the road, I had a flashback to a Sixties teenie rock song by Gary Lewis titled, "Green Grass," the opening line for which the lyrics go, "Green grass 'round my window" that has suddenly morphed into "Green glass 'round my window."
(Side note of digression: Gary Lewis, son of former comedian Jerry Lewis, was the leader of a very successful mid-Sixties band until he was unfortunately drafted into military service because his dad wasn't George H.W. Bush like the current global delusionary madman leader, George W. Bush. But I digress. [Oh, I already noted that, didn't I?])
In light of all of that and in light of the fact that the 'world's greatest democracy' is overwhelmingly fed up with the psychopatholgies of their nut-job president but sit quietly by while they wait for the unveiling of the next scandalous revelation of his administration's outside-the-law domestic and international illegal forays or their next unnecessary and felonious war, I thought it might be nice to do an extended outlook weather report for the nation so rapt by "American Idol," "Survivor" and tomorrow night's Ohio State - Florida March Marchness wrap-up.
Here then is your....
Extended 5-day, 5-week, 5-month--5-year, whatever--whichever--who cares--does anyone?--forecast:
Snow jobs preceding holocaustic humidity, heavily overcast skies with a 60% chance of precipitation in the form of radioactive rain, dense deuterium fogs , intermittent isotopic horrific hailstorms, uranium updrafts and moisture mixed plutonium pulse storms precipitating cesium coldfronts and nuclear winter until the spring of 2011, 2012, '15, 0r '20 - whatever - whichever - who cares - does anyone? When rational people allow madmen to rule over them, we get the weather we deserve!

OMG! Your forecast fills me with dead, er, dread. Yet another sign of doom: I notice Costco is selling big white plastic buckets of storeable survival food. I think it's a 3-mos supply, don't know what's inside. They had cases of MRE's a couple months ago. Maybe this is just a UT phenom, but coupled with your forecast, I'm getting jittery.
I did not know about "green glass" & am wondering why green, isn't the sand around there white? Hmm, the only Gary Lewis song I remember was "This Diamond Ring (doesn't shine for me anymore)". And, I think he died young? Or maybe I'm thinking of Dean Martin Jr, who also had a hit song back then. I was more into The Beatles and then on to Pink Floyd. ~~ D.K.

You're 100% correct on that. Beautifully put.
pt: Thanks. I don't know what got into me...to be so pessimistic about Nature's highest achieving species. I'm better now...I'm through that. My Prozac Rx has been refilled, but thanks for the kind words.
deke: Hey, I'm gonna look for those survival kits next trip to Costco. Hell, there's many nights we jist don't feel like cookin'! Or maybe it's just a Utah thing? Do Mormons live under a siege mentality?
Re Gary Lewis: I believe it was Dean's son, Dino, who died in a Calif. Air National Guard plane crash in 1987 (who, unlike our fortunate president who didn't die in a Texas Air National Guard plane crash.,
Gary Lewis on the other hand, was the only artist during the 1960s to have his first seven releases each reach the top ten of the Billboard magazine's Hot 100 rankings according to Wikipedia.
Of course the draft pretty much wrote the epitaph of his musical career.
"Do Mormons live under a siege mentality?" --- oh boy, do they ever! This goes back to when they were driven out of every community east of the Mississippi. They have a persecution-paranoia complex (well-based I might add). The end result is for as long as I can remember, mormons have been admonished to keep an xxx-month supply of food, medicine, and potable water at home. The Church will even store it for you if you don't have room! If you have a big pantry (& most homes around here do) they keep it rotated with cases of dry-goods, canned food & bottled water, using & replacing it all so it never gets too old. This is why warehouse stores like Costco are so popular here. There are some not so armageddon benefits, like if you find yourself unemployed, you know you at least won't starve for xxx-months. They don't specifically mention guns, but you know these gold ole boys have 'em, locked & loaded, so don't all you heathens be trying to steal their stash!
Re: Dean Jr -- yeh, I kinda sorta thought I'd mixed up the two. I looked at Gary Lewis' website & was surprised at the # of hits he had that I'd forgotten! Like "everybody loves a clown", "if you need someone to count on, count me in" and "don't you know that she's just my style". And he must still be alive because he website said he was available for booking - don't know if that includes The Playboys! ~~~ D.K.
