What About the Smoke? Where's the Smoke?

Huge mirrors in the sky will be the future of tackling climate change, claim scientists.

Sometimes the material writes itself, folks.

Sometimes the material does indeed write itself, but not this time. Not when a British tabloid is on the job, and not when our Bob is there to mindlessly parrot whatever a British tabloid says. Be honest now, Bob: does the headline fairly represent what the article says? Look at the first sentence of the article. Does the headline do that sentence justice? Man. Has critical thinking and reading with care just gone down the toilet? I'm not just getting exercised over trivialities. The creative process is important to me, in my line of work. It involves the floating of ideas which may sound harebrained, most of which will be discarded, but some of which actually turn out to solve the problem. And the creative process works only when people feel free to float such out-of-the-box ideas, without legions of Scopesian know-nothings sitting on their front porches and hee-hawing at them. Sorry to see you plopping yourself down on the porch with them.

Well, shut up you mouth-breathing peckerwoods is hardly the right argument to use if you want to convince them, Wally.

Oh, I long ago dismissed any hope of convincing you of anything, Bob. It just feels good to vent. And y'all participate in perpetuating the peckerwood stereotype every time you take a cheap shot at pointy-headed intellectuals by cherry-picking ideas that sound ridiculous to you. I'm content to let my points about the creative process and casual distortions of Brit-rag headline writers stand unrebutted.
