It's like a Joe-Sixpack version of little girls screaming at a Hilary Duff concert.
There's really no convincing those types until the peak is too late and difficult to deal with, it's like talking to a rock.
Serves them right for being gullible.

You are, unfortunately, right on the money, bentstrider. It amazes me the heights of stupidity that some people reach. Someone said to me the other day....
"As long as I have gas for my Twin 502mags in the Scarab.... I say drill in Alaska and lets kick Iran's butt! lol"
He was only half joking. What a wake-up call it will be...

Those are the kinds of people that are going to make this situation harder to deal with than it has to be. They are gonna be angry and looking to take it out on anything or anybody when the shit hits the fan and destroys their fantasy world.

???
I don't get it but that's prolly because I'm one of 'em pinko European commies.
What's a blood storm?
Please don't tell me this is irony... There are only two things in this world I can't stand (or understand). Irony and that picture of that redneck in rubber pants which some of us suspect could be Spec having a really bad day.

Irony and that picture of that redneck in rubber pants which some of us suspect could be Spec having a really bad day. Very good question. I saw it and thought it was funny in a macabre way. Why? I guess you'd have to call it a variety of gallows humor. Lots of bad news, bad weather, destruction of NOLA, scarce and expensive NG with winter coming, etc. So then you see this red hurricane and think, "ha, ha, ha! funny! raining blood! what's next?" What could be worse? Raining shit? Oh wait, they had that too! You get it now? No? OK, drop dead.

Just kidding about the drop dead. Irony, you know. Right? Oh, you don't get irony. Oh well, nevermind.

I fully understand what's being said but it looks like I'm not getting it completely. I'm often reading the "news" at theonion.com and I mostly find them funny as hell. I'm still laughing when I think about the "Iran Now Has the Car-Bomb" first page article which of course is a reference to the A-bomb. That one was perfect! Or the famous "Man Walks on Fucking Moon!". I think that's the funniest thing I've ever read.
This one is perhaps funny but not, well that funny. As I said, I'm perhaps missing the extremely funny part of it because I'm a European. Really bad weather here means 2 inches of snow and a little wind. I'm very sorry if I've offended anyone due to my ignorance but I still don't see why this article is worth mentioning.

OK, no problema. How can I read that "Man Walks On Fucking Moon"? I'm laughing at just the title!

The headline is actually "Holy Shit: Man Walks on Fucking Moon!".
There was once some kind of special thing at theonion.com where you could download pictures of posters they were selling. It was a couple of years ago and this one was one of the most famous ones together with a "Titanic" poster. They were making fun of historical events somehow.
I'm too drunk now to give you further assistance, but Google is always a good friend.

From Denver Post: Quote: Searching for appropriate analogies, we enter the realm of Weight Watchers. Oil shale is said to be "rich" when a ton yields 30 gallons of oil. An equal weight of granola contains three times more energy. America's "vast," "immense" deposits of shale have the energy density of a baked potato. Oil shale has one-third the energy density of Cap'n Crunch, but no one is counting on the Quaker Oats Company to become a major energy producer soon.
