Top Scientists, Feminist Playwrights Agree: Fire Make Sea Gods, Vaginas Angry!

I wonder if we can get Iowahawk to append his classic “Top Scientists Warn: Sea Gods Angry” headline from December of 2004 after the great moment in western civilization that occurred yesterday:

“Brilliant: ‘Vagina Monologues’ Creator Tells Palin to Look at ‘Earthquakes and Tsunamis’ for Global Warming Proof.”

Meanwhile, Newsweek, having shed 41 percent of its readers last year at the newsstand, is determined to finish the job in short order:

“Black Helicopters Over Nashville — Never mind Sarah Palin and the tricornered hats. The tea-party movement is dominated by conspiracist kooks.”

Gee, a magazine that was busted for its Koran in the Can and “We Are all Socialists Now” fables, not to mention this memorable cover last year…

…Really isn’t in much of a position to complain about conspiracy theories.

Update: Welcome Insta-readers; the Professor (wait, can I still call him that?) also links to TheBlogProf (same question), who writes:

This is as idiotic as actor Danny Glover blaming the Haitian earthquake on global warming. And these people are pointing a finger at Palin for supposedly being dumb? Good. Grief. Glenn Reynolds says “this is exceptionally stupid even by The View’s admittedly low standards.” The Joy Behar Show is arguably even worse as far as standards go.

And remember, this is the show that CNN’s spin-off channel Headline News created to replace Glenn Beck. How’s that switch working out for Time-Warner-CNN?
