The Fix is In

-- by Horatio Algeranon


We never saw it coming

It hit us like a ton of bricks.

Of Kruger and of Dunning

We've had an ample fix.

House Keeping

-- by Horatio Algeranon

The claim by Monckton, "I'm a Lord"
Has caught the notice of the Board
Who say that Monckton must decist
From this day forward claiming this.

That he is not and has never been
In the House of Lords can now be seen
In black and white on the Lords' website
To show the world just who is right.



Horatio has used the British prounciation (pronunciation, too) of "been" (like "bean", as in Jack and the Beanstalk: "Fee fi fo fum...").

For more on the world's most famous "Potty Peer", read "The House of Lords" Diner.

Na Na Hey Hey Kiss the Sea-Ice Goodbye

-- Horatio Algeranon's rendition of the song by "Steam"

Na na na na, na na na na, arctic-sea-ice, goodbye

He'll never tell you, the way that I tell you
'Cause if he did, no no, he'd make you deny
He might be comfortin' baby but a-my stats (my stats, my stats)
So dog-gone tellin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss the ice goodbye, now

Na na na na, arctic-sea-ice, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, arctic-sea-ice, goodbye

Listen to me now

He's always near you to comfort and cheer you
When all those polar bear tears are fallin' baby from your eyes
He might be comfortin' baby but a-my stats (my stats, my stats)
So dog-gone tellin'
So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss the ice goodbye, na-na na-na-na na na


Na na na na, arctic-sea-ice, goodbye

[fade in]
Arctic-sea-ice, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, Arctic-sea-ice, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, Arctic-sea-ice, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, Arctic-sea-ice, goodbye
[repeat each summer until completely gone]

Wonderful World (of the Climate "Skeptic")

 --Horatio Algeranon's rendition of the song by Sam Cooke

Don't know much about the IPCC
Don't know much cosmetology
Don't know much about CO2
Paleoclimate or sea ice too

But I do know AGW is wrong
And I know that if I sing my song
What a wonderful world this will be.

Don't know much about the climate of earth
Never took a class for what it's worth
Don't know much about a science book
Can't recall the simple math I took

But I know that "CO2 is life"
And if I knew as much as Barney Fife
What a wonderful world this would be


Now I don't claim to be a cosmetologist
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being a cosmetologist, baby
I can win your belief in me

Don't know much about the IPCC
Don't know much cosmetology
Don't know much about CO2
Paleoclimate or sea ice too

But I do know AGW is wrong
And I know that if I sing my song
What a wonderful world this will be

tralalala (... I can't hear you)

But I do know AGW is wrong
And I know that if I sing my song
What a wonderful world this will be.




Skepticism sure ain't what it used to be...
