Mitt Romney has a new ad out. He wants to clean up the oceans.
No, not the real oceans. What he did was to refer to an old Peggy Noonan column about how Our Children are swimming in a stinky culture ocean, and this invariably turns them into Columbine-style killers. Mitt Romney promises that as president he will clean up our stinky culture ocean using unspecified methods.
So, global warming is fake and cleaning it up would be very expensive.
But the magic-dolphin-tormented stinky cultural ocean thesis is correct, scientifically, and cleaning it up is merely a matter of voting for Mitt.

This class of stuff may in fact be persuasive for GOP primary voters, who are, historically speaking, easily persuaded by anything equivalent to string and an attached shiny object.

Vote for Mitt, wingnuts! He's your man! Let the snark SING!
I mean, seriously, dig this shit:
