ad absurdum

kerry's in nevada yesterday stumping that bush is a very bad man for putting a nuclear waste dump at yucca mountain. what a cheap-ass rhetorical ploy, the "not in my backyard" emotional entreaty. well, john, it has to be in someone's backyard, unfortunately.

while i know as americans we all would rather have dumped the shit on yet another pacific atoll, i'm pretty sure the marshall islands are booked up right now--that is, if they haven't already sunk below the water line from our greenhouse emissions.
