I don’t read the San Jose Mercury News, and in a couple of weeks I went read it IN San Jose. ;^)

I had no idea GoreBull Warning caused the winds to stop blowing and continental shelves to disappear.

[tioga]

wont read it

[duckworth]

Dude! We’re ruining the waves! I better vote democrat so we can pay higher taxes and save the waves!

[tioga]

Surfer dudes pay taxes? I didn’t know.

[nascarnation]

Forget Obama’s directive on investment advisors yesterday, I’m hiring you....

[Bob434]

man is responsible for just 0.0015% of all CO2 in the atmosphere- our atmosphere has only 0.04% CO2 in it- yet these LIARS and snake oil salesmen/charlatans, claim ‘man is almost entirely responsible for global climate change’

That’s like claiming ‘clams urinating in the ocean are responsible for global flooding’

[Tax-chick]

Send me your bank account information, and I’ll get right to work, after I deduct me fee, of course.

[duckworth]

Dude! I mean I better vote democrat because they’ll raise taxes on all the squares, and this will save the waves!

[aquila48]

I’m confused - I thought global warming was going to cause bigger storms.

[a fool in paradise]

Doh!

[a fool in paradise]

How would warming end tides? temperature doesn’t cause tides

[pallis]

Global freezing could make surfing very chilly.

[jumpingcholla34]

Charlie don’t care. Charlie don’t surf.

[dfwgator]

"If I say its safe to surf this beach, Captain, then its safe to surf this beach!"

Sean Penn played Spicoli. I read somewhere that he stayed in character throughout the movie shoot. Must've been pleasant to be around. /sarc

Penn did a good job when he appeared on SNL around that same timeframe. Other than that, though, yep. Pretty useless.
