Brilliant proposal: Name hurricanes after obstructionist [REPUBLICON] lawmakers

Activist group 350 Action doesn’t just stand up for the climate — it stands up for innocent people named Andrew, Sandy, and Katrina. Why should those names be tarnished? Instead, we should be naming severe weather events after their biggest sponsors and fans: climate-change-denying lawmakers who obstruct environmental policy reform.

The results are pretty hilarious — I especially like “if you value your life, please seek shelter from Michele Bachmann.” No doubt!
We don’t see the associated petition going anywhere, but the video really brings home the direct relationship between destructive climate policy and destructive climate events. And it includes the line “Senator David Vitter is turning out to be one of the hugest and costliest disasters in American history,” which many have said before, but rarely with these production values.
HURRICANES SHOULD BE NAMED AFTER MICHELE BACHMANN AND MARCO RUBIO, SAYS 350 ACTION

Barton F. Graf 9000 has teamed with climate crisis activist organization 350 Action to propose an unconventional solution to addressing our environmental woes. The new campaign features this video directed by Furlined's Ted Pauly that poses a very interesting question to the World Meteorological Organization: Why are hurricanes--with all the havoc they wreak--given perfectly nice people names?
The effort suggests an alternative moniker system--one that, if embraced, would serve as a kick-in-the-pants for lawmakers to take action: Name them after the policy makers who deny climate change. Thus, says the video, future hurricanes would bear titles like Hurricane Marco Rubio, Hurricane Michelle Bachman or Hurricane Rick Perry. A website invites people to petition to the WMO to put such names in the future lineup.
The campaign represents a bit of branching out, stylistically, for Barton F. Graf 9000, which until now has been best known for its signature kooky comedic style, for the likes of Dish, Little Caesars and Kayak.
Hurricane Rubio sure gave southerners a beating . . . but unlike the original Rubio - Hurricane Rubio gave every one a beating ..... there was no latino prejudice in that storm.........
This one looks to be living up to it's name as Hurricane Bitch McConnell heads towards shore...........................it had stalled for awhile near Jamaica - ( reminds one of the legendary filibuster assaults )............Now it looks to be holding/stalling just off shore as it collects more hot air.......
Perhaps over Jamaica McBitch will suck up a big fat spliff and become a changed... McBitchen, dude!
Hmmmmm - while Hurricane Bitch (shortened for broadcast ) uncountably played havoc with the oil industry..... on a side note it totally spared 360 acres of medical marijuana.............................

As they did during the Apartheid struggle in South Africa, we have to symbolically "necklace" these Cons with their dirty filthy deeds. Permanently scotched and scarred for all to see and shame. Otherwise we have a mushroomed public, kept in the dark and fed shit, who are apt to do any stupid thing MSN or Fox Lies or False-Flag complainers tell them. Like pout instead of Vote in the 2010 midterms allowing a herd of RW psychos to descend on Congress!
Fortunately the storm named Obama never did make it to hurricane strength it just kind of wandered around for awhile and then died......made no impact anywhere . . . was threatening for awhile . . but never fully developed......huh funny...............
