“There is no global warming; period, end of debate.”

“Let me clear about this, Comrade, global warming is global cooling is global warming.”

“DOUBLEPLUSGOOD, Comrade Obama!”

Also, “Freedom equals slavery equals freedom. I think I’ll write a book entitled NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR.”

“Oceania Tis For Thee, Comrade Obama!”

Here is a link which explains why we are having so much snow in the mid Atlantic, and why we might have up to 100 inches this winter. BRRRR It think it is by this same guy.
