OBAMA RESPONSIBLE FOR DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA? 

     Obama's legacy is now assured. In a rare display of bipartisanship, house speaker John Boehner cedited President Obama with creating the California drought. There was some concern that the drought may have exceeded expectations. The National Weather Service reports that this is the most severe drought in 1200 years.

     Regretfully,  pushback from the younger more conservative members of the speakers party was swift and intense. A bill was quickly drafted, consisting of 170 pages of unintelligible dribble, which in essence required President Obama to restart the rain and continue it for forty days and forty nights.

     To the great disappointment of his many doubters,  our dauntless leader, in a rare stroke of competency, proceeded with the commencement of a deluge in southern California, not see for over 4000 years.  One would expect people to be overjoyed to have a little much-needed rain. Not so, the uproar can be heard all the way to the moon.  Perhaps our elected representatives would have been better advised to have consulted the scientific community or at least listened to their constituents in California.

     Regrettably the damage is done, we can look forward to forty days and forty nights of torrential rains, soaking California.  A likely outcome of this torrid drizzle is likely  the subsiding of the entire west coast into the Pacific Ocean. Oceanographers predict the new coastline will be in Kansas.

     It is our fervent hope that a judge sympathetic to dry weather can be found to issue an order to halt the rain or at least delay the implementation of this law. Usually optimistic, I must confess that I see little prospect for this.

     As side note, both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres were forced to cancel games. This did not deter 20000 diehard fans in San Diego from entering the stadium. When it was pointed out that the game was called because of rain, some were adamant that it never rained in southern California. Many failed to notice that there was no game.
