The heated debate over the issue of global warming has led the Democratic majority in the United States Congress and President Obama to propose Draconian legislation that may irretrievably destroy the remainder of our industrial manufacturing jobs, drive up energy costs to unsustainable levels and jeopardize our defense capabilities. It absolutely amazes me that while tree-hugging Democrats are so quick to try and legislate questionable solutions to a questionable problem, they absolutely have failed to address a far greater risk to the American people. This serious risk to the people of our country and the world is Dihydrogen Monoxide.
...
Recent massive DHMO exposures have lead to loss of life in California, the Mid-West, the Philippines and several Caribbean islands. Scientific analysis of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, which killed 230,000 people, revealed high levels of DHMO. The destruction of the levees during Hurricane Katrina was exacerbated by excessive DHMO levels found in the Gulf of Mexico.
...
We are a busy and pre-occupied world. With global economic and national defense threats staring us in the face, we expect our stalwarts in Congress to give the same attention to the DHMO threat as they have global warming. We simply cannot wait the same two million years since global cooling stopped and global warming began to take effective action. After all, DHMO was a critical element in the extinction of several species of animals. Congress must act now! The traditional stalwarts of environmentalism and the “damn the economy, we must save the polar bear” crowd must ignore their previous lack of knowledge about Dihydrogen Monoxide and flood Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama and the rest of the environmental activists in Congress and demand action. Write your letters, make your calls, print your bumper stickers and buy your Dihydrogen Monoxide detectors today! www.howardcountyrepublicans.org/chairmancommentary/dyhydrogenmonoxide.htmlI just keep looking at this, but my brain refuses to acknowledge it. |

This cannot be serious. Not that I'd put anything past the gullibility of Republicans....
Also, your first and second paragraphs repeat.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure they're herping the derp, trying to frivolize global warming.

I was reading it for a while, but eventually the H2O aspect sunk in. I would say that people would fall for this, but given how most republicans seem to see anything other than total exploitation of the earth and natural resources as anti-business I doubt they would believe that this "Dihydrogen Monoxide" is of any consequence. After all doing something about it would hurt profits and their wars.
