10 amazing truths you already suspected, Mark Morford

Citizens! Lovers! Are you ready?

(1) If the migrating sand hill cranes are to be believed – and of course, birds never lie – winter is coming hard and fast this fine year of our glorious iPhone 5, and it plans to be a doozy.

Do you know what that means? Right: Everyone will soon forget the nation’s brutal, record-setting heat wave/drought that resulted in fully half of all American counties being declared disaster areas, and will instead be complaining very shortly about the brutal, record-setting winter storms, the shortage of heating oil and what’s to be done about all the jerks who can’t drive on three inches of fresh powder.

More importantly, winter brings out the timorous clans of global warming deniers, all those scrappy literalists who don’t understand the concept of extreme weather, and instead take the words “global warming” to mean that if the entire country isn’t soon in a permanent state of sweaty, Florida-like misery, then science is bogus, God is awesome and it’s time to buy a new gun before Obama takes away all the bullets.

Are they not cute? They’re just not very bright, are they? It’s OK. They’re voting for Mitt Romney.
