Too hilarious to wait until the Sunday funnies

"Disaster At Union Seminary As Giant, Angry Carnivorous Plant Does Not Accept Students' Apologies".

Update: Over the course of a fairly long life, I can recollect few, if any, public enthusiasms as mad as global warm-mongering. The inverse proportion of passionate belief to proven facts is astoundingly large, and yet even moderately intelligent people have fallen for this hustle. And the hilarity of believing that man can counter such climate change as may actually exist! We can't stop illegal narcotics use, we can't stop psychotic narcissists from killing masses of strangers, we can't cure the common cold, we can't solve the problem of homelessness - but we can cool the entire planet's (allegedly) fevered brow?

Yeah, I'll be right here, rooted in the skeptics' column. Let me know when the hysteria blows over (or evolves into some new crisis for humanity).

I'm not rooted in the skeptics' column, I'm set in concrete!

Exactly, or as some say, Exactement!

I had a school friend (died a decade ago) who was a promising actor but went loony after leaving school. Our last phone conversation he was breathlessly telling me that the CIA controlled the weather over North Korea and all that David Icke stuff. It just makes me sad.

Something else from Twitchy that's hilarious, and involves a global warmining protester.

I must have watched that gif for five minutes, laughing the whole time.

R-man: That is...mesmerizing.

And satisfying, in a karmic sort of way.

Someone in the comments at Twitchy gave a link to the twitter feed (in French) with the full video. My French is rather limited, but from what I could make out, some of the twitter replies were saying the cop used excessive force on the guy.

Funny, I thought the guy got just what he deserved.

The cop should have butt stroked the idiot. If the stock was strong enough for that.

Wooden and fiberglass stocks may be heavy to lug around, but they can be an effective back up weapon.

There is another vid that been making the rounds on the web for years that's every bit as satisfying: some protest hoodie-boi takes a swing at a cop in riot gear and gets a beanbag round in the gut for his trouble. Kinda like this sod, but not as funny.

Good one, Smitty!
