Germany’s Green Bubble Follows Spain’s; Will Congress Waste More Billions on Ours?

CFACT pulled the old Penn and Teller expose on the all-knowing activists at Con-cun. An added twist: expressly calling for destabilization of the U.S. economy (gasp! With a ‘citizen of the world’ at the helm, not a cowboy?)
Just wondering if any of the petition signatories write for the Washington Post? Regardless, can a story on the horrors of DHMO — corrosive! can be fatal if inhaled! a key component in acid rain! — be far behind?

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Terribly dangerous stuff. Lots of people die from it every year and under electric current it produces hydrogen gas a volitile explosive.

"a cowboy"
Today's cowboys get Unemployment, Workmans Comp, etc. And Bush was a pantywaist, not a cowboy.
What, you think this is 1776? if only.

HEH! My daughters have this gag about "Monohydrogen Hydrate" from dairy products showing-up in fishes...

The following are the toxic and fatal effects.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
is fatal if inhaled.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of Styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
Anything can be made to sound more ominous than it really is, eh?
How about President Barrack Hussein Obama?
