Well, there's always the old standby...Bush's fault.

I've seen the comet several times with binoculars over the past several weeks--I think it's a naked-eye object if you're somewhere where the sky is dark enough. Last night it was very close to Alpha Persei (the brightest star in Perseus)...it has been getting a little bigger in diameter (it's roughly circular, at least I haven't seen any sign of a tail).

My understanding is that its tail, such as it is, is aimed away from us. Thus we are seeing an arrow pointing at us.

Surely it’s because of global warming.
