Megan McArdle from The Atlantic makes a pretty good point. Surely there would’ve been a better place for the UN to hold its climate change conference as opposed to Copenhagen in December.

Like, say, Tuvalu? I wonder how the delegates would respond with sea water lapping their pleated, pressed pinstriped slacks?

Climate change claims its first nation

Climate change to Tuvalu: “See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.”

Climate change deniers: “Tuvalu? What’s Tuvalu? Never heard of it. Obviously its some fantasy, Narnia-type land created by Al Gore in a sad attempt to convince us that climate change exists.”

Whilst wasting far too much time surfing the ol’ interweb, I happened across what may be my new favorite political blog. (Though I did cast a vote for Shannyn Moore’s Just a Girl from Homer as the best political blog on the Blogger’s Choice Awards, just to irk Caribou Barbie and Michelle Malkin.) Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to draw attention to Zandar versus the Stupid, which, by accounts, is the efforts by one brave soul- who appears to go by the name “Zander”- to push back against conservative idiocy in all its various forms. With such a mission, the poor guy has his work cut out for him.

I happened across ZvtS with a post that laughably detailed the efforts by some misguided (and since we are discussing conservatives here, I’ll add the descriptive ‘brain-dead’) efforts to draft Dick Cheney in an effort to run as a Republican candidate for President in 2012. I know. Funny, right? The former baby-eating Veep only left office with a 13 percent approval rating. (That’s right, I said thirteen.) Far be it for me to squash such quixotic efforts.
