Serious You Guys, Global Warming Is Melting the Streetlights!!11!

Damn you, Devil Sun, and your satanic rays.

Think Progress has the story and the big scoop. (Update: The story is from last August. True, but old.)

WOW. It’s so hot in Oklahoma that the streetlights are melting. …

Meanwhile, a senator from Oklahoma, James Inhofe (R), is a major climate denier.

Progressives are all tweetin' angry at James Inhofe, who obviously Hates Streetlamps. Why don't you try illuminating the street with your Bible, Lite-H8r!

There is one small update to this major, major scoop:

AOh, wait! More information is coming in about that melting street light! It turns out it melted because it was right next to a dumpster fire:

Well that's just nitpicking, isn't it?

Or, as GOB Bluth would say, "Yes, but how did the fire start?"

Or, finally, as the Zimmerman Prosecution's star witness would say: "That is real retarded, Sir."

By the way, FYI, and apropos of nothing, Think Progress is a part of the Center for American Progress' leftist fundraising empire. Specifically its "Center for American Progress Action Fund" organization. Which you can donate to. Because the Center for American
Progress Action Fund is...

... a non-partisan, 501 (c)(4) organization dedicated to achieving progress through action.

Per its website.

thanks to alexthechick.

Urk: The story is true, and Yahoo, naturally, fell for it.

The story is also from last year. Alas, it's old.

Well, it was New To Me (TM).

It's Not Merely Old... But it has, embarrassingly enough, already appeared on the site, when it was far more timely (that is to say, when Andy covered it day-of).

Eesh.

Look, I'm willing to accept blame when it's called for. In this case, though, it's alexthechick's fault.

This was all due to low-level rogue commenters operating out of Cincinnati.

I had noting to do with this. I learned of this from the newspapers, when you did.

Please believe me. This is all I got. I can't dance.
