Its cold everywhere. Let's blame Bush!

I've been in Houston for just over six years, and the temperature is expected to be the coldest on record in recent history. They're actually predicting freezing precipitation for the upcoming Christmas, oops Holiday weekend. Record cold temperatures are predicted throughout the US.

But how?

I thought the Earth was heating at an alarming rate because of the so-called misguided environmental policies of the sycophantic religious right. Global Cooling anyone? Those darn conservatives.

I offer this.

If the Earth is in fact suffering from the effects of Global Warming, the ice caps are melting, and we're to expect some huge flood as a result, then why doesn't a glass of water overflow when the ice melts?
