I'm feeling really bad about all the weather-related tragedies lately…and increasingly disgusted by those who flatly deny Climate Change and probably will, no matter what kind of weather we get in the future. It seems to me that some people got into their heads some time ago that Global Warming was a Liberal Thing…and since they hate Liberals, it had to be denied at all costs, even the costs of human lives and property. I keep thinking of the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. His arms were cut off, his legs were cut off…but as long as he could deny losing, he was sure he was winning.
In vastly-less-important news, I am informed that the oft-cited 1963 air date for that episode of Celebrity Golf with Harpo Marx may be inaccurate. It may be 1961, which would explain why his 1962 appearances are considered his last.
