Switzerland was freezing last week but things have gotten better. I now leave the house without gloves.
Russia's finest news source, Pravda, reported earlier in the month that the planet is on the brink of an ice age. The motley crew at the always-entertaining WorldNetDaily is bookending continuing coverage over the Barack Obama's citizenship and an impending North American Union with reports of a cooling Earth.
And then there's serious journalist Dana Milbank at the Washington Post who has penned a funny account of Al Gore's testimony before the US Senate.
"Geothermal energy," the Goracle prophesied. "This has great potential; it is not very far off."
Another lawmaker asked about the future of nuclear power. "I have grown skeptical about the degree to which it will expand," the Goracle spoke.
A third asked the legislative future -- and here the Goracle spoke in riddle. "The road to Copenhagen has three steps to it," he said.
Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) begged the Goracle to look further into the future. "What does your modeling tell you about how long we're going to be around as a species?" he inquired.
The Goracle chuckled. "I don't claim the expertise to answer a question like that, Senator."
My cousin, Marc Grüninger, stars in a little video called "Made im Wallis". Marc's in LA pursuing an acting career and is probably the best looking one in the entire extended family.
The short film is Swiss German, so good luck understanding. The plot revolves around a photo shoot for a new brand of Ricola candy.
Like most of the finer things in life, the video is short, coarse and funny.
