Something Glenn said earlier really caught my attention:

IS THIS HOPE, OR CHANGE: In Las Vegas, 80% of homes are underwater.

Actually, it is neither hope nor change. The only possible explanation is global warming — just as Al Gore warned us!
Remember this?

I well remember the warnings, but I didn’t realize it would happen this fast or this dramatically. Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert, for cripes sake! For the flooding to occur there means that perhaps I should reexamine my AGW skepticism.
Needless to say, it took me a while to gather the courage to click the link Glenn provided (it shocks me to have to admit that I might have been wrong about Global Warming) but then I saw the headline and I was even more shocked:
The 20 Cities With The Most Underwater Homes
At that point I couldn’t take any more. I’d rather not know the details of all these flooded cities with underwater homes.
I just want to be in denial, OK? Better to be in denial than to have an Emily Litella moment.
