Washington the new Kansas: Climatology and Al Gore is banned in Federal Way, Washington.

Here, succinctly anyway, is why a School Board place a moratorium on showing Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth":

"Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher ... The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. ... The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."

(Frosty Hardison, parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old)

Looks like I found a potential third topic for my "Bible Passage Trilogy."

Iraq will be the deciding factor among the Democratic candidates in 2008, and Hillary and Edwards were both flat wrong on the subject. More and more it looks like it will be Al Gore's election to lose, please see http://minor-ripper.blogspot.com/2006/12/why-al-gore-will-vanquish-hillary.html

I fear that this person's children are going to sprout into seven very screwed up adults. Also, who names their kid Frosty? Is it any wonder she's closed-minded, backwards, and bitter?

Frosty is actually a man, make of that what you will.

Anyway, all this is happening in Federal Way. If you know the Seattle metropolitan area, you don't need further explanation. There are some pockets of weirdness in Washington State. I was born in one.
