blamanj writes "Things are not looking good for Santa. First, news that it's getting warmer at the North Pole, and now, scientists report that the (magnetic) pole itself is on the move. 'Earth's north magnetic pole is drifting from North America at such a clip that it could end up in Siberia in the next 50 years.'"

Simplistic leftism by Anonymous Coward · 2005-12-09 03:14 · Score: -1, Troll

The only thing the left is concerned with is convincing themselves that they're right. Sadly it can be said for some poeple in other "directions" as well but it does seem like the left suffers the most from it (probably because most of them have a nagging suspicion that they're totally clueless, which they are of course) :)

Ever wondered why it's mostly people on the left who spend so much time shouting their beliefs, having protest marches and generally trying to make themselves noticed? The only on the right who do the same are the equally clueless ones...

I'm sure someone will find a way to blame it on the Bush Administration.
The disappointment at not being able to is almost palpable, isn't it?
We need Congressdingbat McKinney to hold some more hearings. There are sure to be witnesses who will accuse Karl Rove and Dick Cheney of controlling the Earth's magnetic field from a giant console in their "undisclosed location." Women and minorities hardest hit, of course!
