Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 15, 2014

Transcript:
Pig: What are you doing, Goat? Goat: Trying to figure out this algorithm. Pig: Can Al Gore even dance? Goat: Perhaps I should start over. Pig: Perhaps he should stop dancing.
Global warming is somewhat of a misnomer. It creates unusual and out of season weather also, and much of the world has been experiencing a great deal of this the past few years.
Al’s sense of rhythm is severely hampered by a bad case of “hanging chad”, but he is still nimble enough to jump on any loony lefty cause that comes along.
If Al Gore said that the sun rose in the east, there would be people who would claim he’s wrong because they don’t like him.
No matter what is going on weather-wise in your area, when you look at the entire world, the climate is changing. Check out what NASA has to say about it. http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
The few “scientists” who say otherwise have poor credentials and at least some are funded by businesses that want to keep doing business as usual, no matter how many lives are affected.
This is the stupidest, dumbest most ridiculous work of incredible genius yet. If Stephan were here with me now I would hug him and kick him. Signed…“Rat’s Long Lost Cousin”
As current as today: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/08/15/experts-cold-summer-leads-to-changing-leaves-in-august/ This has been true for more than just the US, including the record breaking increase in polar ice.
Serious post: Dr. Neil D. Tyson says that man-made climate change is real, and I’ll take the word of an actual scientist over that of vested interests any day.
I’m going to go out on limb here and suggest that we all stop talking about whether global warming is or isn’t; whether Obama or Palin would do a better job; etc. because as a whole we just will never agree.
I would humbly suggest that we instead begin to discuss exactly how we can peaceably divide this country because division is coming no matter what. So, we can peacefully use Goat and Rat as strawpersons for each of our sides’ arguments on division, or we can fight it out.
I, for one, would simply prefer to pack up and move to the half of it that contains the people who think like I do rather than have to participate in a civil war to decide the issue …

Perhaps Goat should stop hanging around idiots like Pig and Rat.

Perhaps Goat should stop reading math and computer science books, or maybe Pig should start.

What would an Al Gore Rhythm be? Four-four? Dirge-like, in any case….

Al Gore stopped dancing a long time ago. Except for his tap dancing, of course, but that is an entirely different matter.
Dave Ferro over 10 years ago
Yes, Algore should stop dancing. He should also stop pretending to be a climate scientist.

He might not be able to dance, but he did invent the internet!

My daughter sent me this a few weeks ago. It scared me a bit since there is some logic to it! :

He’s a Tennessee “cracker”… that’s not dancing… he’s having a “chicken-fried” seizure!

I’m still trying to figure out how Pastis met my mother-in-law, upon whom he modeled Pig’s dimwitted sweetness.(I hit a squirrel driving my car!)

Perhaps you should stop being so dumb and cute, Pig.
Actually, I take that back.

Okay, that’s an excellent pun. Splendid job.

Indeed … this pun was truly Pastis-worthy.
Between this and yesterday’s Doofus-ometer, I’d say he’s on a roll.
