Subject: US Senator says we have tornadoes because we don't drive hybrid cars.
Durbin Says We Must Buy Hybrid Cars Because Of Tornadoes: "It's Your Money Or Your Life"
Sen. Dick Durbin reacts to the tornadoes in Dallas, Texas earlier this week. Durbin calls for more laws regulating carbon output while he sends a dire warning that we must convert to hybrid cars or lose our life. Durbin says we must spend money now to fix the problem.
"It's your money or your life," he said a press conference. "We are either going to dedicate ourselves to a cleaner, more livable planet and accept the initial investment necessary or we're going to pay a heavier price in terms of loss of human life, damage and costs associated with it."
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

well generally speaking he is right. we need to start reducing the carbon footprint of all humans.
Hybrids are not any cleaner than any other car. when you think of the wasteland in canada where they mine the materials, so they can ship them to china to get made into batteries, so they can ship them back to your country.
if you want to go green, get a bike, take a bus, walk.

Yeah... Or you could take, for example, a bike, or walk? Honestly, how could not driving a Hybrid cause a massive Tornado? I can understand some of it, but he needs some evidence.
Reminds me of this vid.
Shame that Edd died

Whoever wrote the article for RCP is the person who seems to have said that, as I imagine if it was a direct quote they would placed it in quotations.
Wait, no koodos for "Santorumesque?" You know how hard that is to write when you can't type?

I was talking to Rick Santorum last week and he assured me that God sends Tornados due to filthy gay Dallas sex.. Not a shortage of hybrid cars.
American news outlets are clueless.. we get the facts right here!
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Reminds me of those nutjob preachers who the conservatives around where I live leaped to defend whenever they said that flooding and tornados were caused by the gay.
Perhaps slightly less heinous because this is exaggeration rather than just being a hateful arsehole like said preachers, but still.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Which is weird, as you'd think that would mean that California would be wiped off the map regularly, but meh? Logic, sanity, intelligence, and morality don't really matter to these preachers so long as their name gets in the papers.

With muppets like these you may be stuck with Obama.
That worries me.

Nah, god has a special plan for us. He's gonna pent up all of our sinnery into one big earthquake. It's called the "Big One" around here.

That's why we have fluctuating gas prices. It goes up and down with how much god is pleased with us.

Do obesity and stupidity count as plagues? If so I would say (s)he is doing pretty well.
Well, it's like the good book said, if you can scream it loud enough people will take it as dogma.
