Prominent elements Republican Party and associated anti-science syndrome sufferers are gleefully (and ignorantly) making jokes about the Washington, DC, area’s record snow levels, using this to confuse people about the realities of Global Warming.

Evidently, Osama bin Laden has released his second message in as many weeks. And, this time, bin Laden’s 12th century lens turns, reportedly, to a real 21st century challenge.
