Oh jeez, the stupid, it burns like thermite.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo connects the Boston terrorist bombing and climate change as the “new normal”:
“It’s a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, … one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the ‘new normal,’ if you will,” he explained. “So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a ‘new normal’ when it comes t0 climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. ‘New normal’ when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent.”

The runner up comment goes to Brad Johnson of Forecast the Facts:
The only poison here is Brad and Andrew’s distorted worldview of seeing the climate change bogeyman in every weather event.

WTF
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe
— Byb Dylan, “The Idiot Wind” 1974
Liberals on Salon wished the bomber would be found to be a white guy – the bomber was a Muslim. Liberals want global warming to be real so they can use it to forward their (not) progressive agenda. Liberals jump on the Sandy Hook train and try to use it to restrict even more our 2nd amendment rights.
I’m thinking liberals shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Obviously, they have trouble comprehending reality.
Climate change leads to New York Governors making ridiculous statements.
We should probably conclude that the industrial explosion in Waco was also the new normal.
Hell, “new normals” are the new normal. It’s worse than we thought !
which at one time were implausible
And exactly when was this? As far as I know, despicable acts performed by deranged people have been occurring pretty much forever.
So the “new normal” indicates nothing irregular happened before television, 24-hr news channels, the Weather Channel, Twitter, YouTube, the internet, etc. It’s amazing how often correlation automatically indicates causation. No one bothers with history; only the now is pertinent.
Cuomo is one of the true wingnuts of our time. Unfortunately, he is the Gov of an extremely progressive state and because of that he doesn’t get thrown out. All of the smart folks with money have either departed or are planning to do so because of their progressive tax system. Eventually however, Cuomo’s and the liberals’ policies will be their undoing. He and Bloomberg deserve each other!
Why can’t we get to a new normal where people stop using the idiotic phrase “new normal”? As if it means anything!

At the end of the day…you’re right.
I love the name “Forecast the Facts”. It is so deliciously oxymoronic.
There was a massive reduction in world wars since the mid 1940’s. I blame anthropogenic CO2 and Climate change ;>)
Clowns like Cuomo have to divert attention from their own stupidity in order to continue getting their agenda. Whenever confronted with facts, they change the subject or turn and run. They are the true jackals of modern society.
son of mulder, Very good! You win the Internets for today.
Global Warming also cured the Ozone Hole.
“The new stupid”? My head hurts as a result of the lengths some people will go to rquate “climate change” to everything. Sigh.
The real “new normal” is the kooks who now dominate (or try to) the political scene. Bloomberg, Cuomo, Gore, Pelosi, Boxer, Waxman, Kerry, etc., etc. An unending list in Europe, Britain, and Australia. That obviously extends to the certain dogmatic clowns at NASA and the British MET office and their academic extensions who in recent decades replaced the right-stuff old-guard scientists who realized their job was to constantly question and review their work instead of turning it into a religion. Add to that universities that indoctrinate more than educate and a Democratic party that has been hell-bent on convincing everybody they are victims incapable of commanding their own lives and you get these now commonplace moronic statements. Vent, vent, vent—sorry.
Well 9/11 and Global Warming are both “false flag” events. It seems to me that the Boston Bombers (if as advertised) have bought into the lies. Couldn’t be more useful for those wishing to disarm the people of America and strengthen the DHS for the ultimate agenda.
That’s quite a statement of personal values from a governor, no less. From a governor of New York, no less. So you have two Islamic radicals (and perhaps more who conspired with them) who committed a vicious act intended to randomly mutilate, dismember, and kill everyday people. And, this towering intellect (sarc) of a governor sees no difference between that act and…climate change? So, Mr. Cuomo, since all of us use fossil fuels, are all of us representative of that same act? Is a society that has developed rapid personal travel, instant communications, warm (and cool) personal shelter, abundant foodstuffs (and the refrigeration to preserve them), electric light to illuminate the darkness; is this the same as a society that seeks to destroy that, and the people who live in it? Do you equate the two as the ‘new normal’ Governor, your words disgust me.
Who knew that Andrew Cuomo wasn’t “rocket surgeon” material?
For a NY Governor, it shows how curiously disconnected he is from the popular sentiment nowadays. With a political antenna like that, I can’t see him surviving long …

Does this imply that he no longer finds acts like these implausible?
He’s an asshat, and a poor one at that.

This from a guy who does not want the folks of NY to have natural gas to supply power for all manner of things plus add money to the state coffers. Nor does he want the same folks to have guns for any reason. Guys like him are the “You cannot have it.” ruling class.
No I disagree, this is a play for more Federal money. Always follow the money and not the logic. Actually, logic is the last thing to follow.
How tasteless, to associate the bombings with so-called, presumably they mean, climate change. The people who suffered in these bombings have enough to cope with without idiots trying to turn it to their own despicable ends. My heart goes out to all those families of the dead and those who were maimed so horribly.
Random acts of violence? It’s terrorism, stupid. These liberals won’t allow themselves to use the word, just as the Fort Hood shooting was “work place violence.” I want to get violent when I hear this drivel.
