But of course, this has nothing to do with climate change.
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
While we're all busy talking about anchor-babies, and watching the stock market behave like a feather in a wind tunnel, whales are dying in the northeast corner of the Pacific Ocean and nobody knows why in the hell this is happening. Although there are some guesses that aren't going to make the folks at the Heartland Institute very happy.
(And the caption on the picture is correct. It is helpful for scientific purposes to get to the body of the dead whale before the bears arrive. We see, "mysterious environmental catastrophe." The bears see, "Old Country Buffet."
Speculation as to the cause is all over the lot, but a lot of attention is being paid to the massive algae bloom that has erupted off the west coast of North America. The size of the algae bloom is unprecedented, and the potential dangers from it spread as it does.
And things always get worse before they collapse completely.

And if They Awake, we are doomed to an eternity of insanity, gibbering in puddles.
