Alex Balk has amassed quite a collection of ominous news items, and this screen grab only covers the ones he has noticed since LATE MAY.

Have a hard time deciding which of his comments I like best. At the moment, it’s between “Hope you can swim, coastal elitists” and “Too dry to frack! What a world.”

Not unrelated, George Carlin’s “Saving the planet” is never far from my thoughts:

“And now, they’re coming for your social security money!”

This George Carlin routine on the American Dream (“because you have to be asleep to believe it”) is aging rather well, sadly.

Tweeted today by Glenn Greenwald, who called it “3 of the most politically insightful minutes of political commentary ever.” No argument here.
